How do I post an entire article, rather than just providing the link? Another Freeper, Unknown Freeper, gave me the understandable advice I needed to post a link. But I've also recently tried to post the entire article, not just the link, and the HTML codes I thought were necessary to do so did not work. Any advice? Will check in later. As an HTML deficient person, I thank you.

What you should be able to do is in your web browser, open the page that you want to post on FR. Then, do a 'view source' in your browser (under 'View' in IE, not sure about others). Then, you should be able to go through the web-page source code, and simply copy and paste the story, with all of the HTML tags (and formatting), into the post textbox on FR. This method saves quite a bit of time, especially when you get more familiar with picking out the HTML that you need to copy & paste.

This will give you a nicely formatted story in most cases, but it does take a bit of practice. Always make sure to 'Previe' the story before posting.
