Help a newbie please
10/8/04 | Chalkman

Posted on 10/08/2004 2:28:01 PM PDT by chalkman

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.

The HTML Campfire

Gather 'round one and all. New or old, it doesn't matter. All that should matter is a willingness to have, what may or may not be considered, knowledge bestowed upon anyone willing to learn how in the world all this cool looking stuff happens 'round here. Let's get started...


Line Break:
When you type
at the end of a line of text This is what happens.

New Paragraph:

When you type

at the end of a line of text

This is what happens.

These you need to turn something "on" and "off".

Bold "on" = Bold "off "= Typing in: Bold no more bold Looks like: Bold no more bold

The rest work the same way

Italic: Italic

Underline: Underline

Strikeout: Strikeout

Center:

Center

The recently popular, Superscript: th, st, rd

Subscript: th, st, rd

Nothing to it right? Now these require you to enter what you want between the " and ".

Font Size: (?=font sizes; 1-7) 1234567

Font Color: Black White It's White, trust me it's there (highlight it with your pointer) Red Green Blue Cyan Purple Orange Yellow Brown

These rquire you to enter where you want to go between the " and ".

How to post a picture: (?=the address of the picture) In this case the picture address is: http://www.freerepublic.com/images/frlogo.gif (It's from the FR home page) =

Links are a 2 step process. Where you want to go and something for the pointer to "click" on. Link Something: ?? (?=the address of the page, ??=something to "click" on) In this case the page address is: http://www.freerepublic.com/home.htm (the FreeRepublic "home" page) (the FreeRepublic "home" page) the turns off the link. = (the FreeRepublic "home" page) the turns off the link.

Go to google...type in "view partial source". download the application even though it says its for IE5. Then you can highlight an item and right click to get the HTML. Someone will post the instructions on your other questions. And welcome.
