Can somebody help an idiot newbie. I have been on for a couple months and still can't figure out how to italicize, bold, do hyperlinks, etc. Computers aren't exactly my strong point. Do people just copy and paste or what.
chalman, When they answer you, can I use your notes? Because I'm needing them, too!
