And while we're on the subject of 'all things Newbie',
how do I italicize when referencing a line or paragraph in a post I am responding to?

[trussell]

Put the text you want italicized between these...

< I> < /I>

Take out the spaces just after the <

Dont forget that once you use code, the whole comment needs to be coded. use < P> between individual paragraphs. (again, take out the space)

What trussel said :). It takes some practices to get it right everytime, first time so until then, preview is your friend.

for example...I marked up my comment thusly(sans spaces in the tags).
