Can anyone please give me some tips on formatting messages at Free Republic? How do I make text italic or bold for instance? Or insert pictures?

For making bold text: <b>BOLD</b>

For making larger text: <font size=+1>LARGER FONT</font>
(numbers 1 thru 7 can be used)

For making smaller text: <font size=-1>SMALLER FONT</font>
(numbers 1 thru 7 can be used)

For linking to a website or image: <a href="PUT THE HTTP://URL HERE">LINK</a>

For inserting a picture (so it can be seen): <img src="PUT THE HTTP://URL HERE">

THAT SHOULD GIVE YOU A START.

Note that you can practice by previewing a post. This will show if the HTML tags you're using are coming up as you wish. Just hit the PRIEVEW button.

This is how a ping works. While you're here, follow the link on post #2. Great way to practice HTML formatting.

One thing that will drive FReepers nuts is by signing up and immediately posting threads. Comment on some existing threads for a week or two, let people know where you stand on the issues, and the wolves will go back to their den.
