It's a lot easier to type &lt; and &gt; and you get < and > respectively.

Also, in posting Images, make sure you add the width="xxx" and height="xxx" parameters to prevent the threads from hanging up during load.

Yes, this is true, but for beginners it is tough to add in the images dimensions when the often don't know how to determine it.

I should have added that if you know them, add the width and dimension parameters.

You don't need the &gt; to get the >. However, if you don't otherwise have HTML (<p>, <br>, <b>, etc), just stick <i> </i> at the beginning of your post (that'll turn off "Auto-HTML" and post "straight" HTML; just remember to include at least one space between the <i> and </i>).
