Ok, I am going to give this HTML stuff a try. Here's an italicized block quote:

When you find a post that has a feature you like, right click the entire page and select “view source” from the commands available.

Then I want to start another paragraph after this sentence.

And this should be it. (Ok, it's late so it's a short paragraph!)

The thing that doesn't seem to work is posting images. Wait a minute, I see an extra apostrophe " ' " in the post I was using as an example - let me take it out and use:

< img src="http://www.jeffhead.com/redseadragon/USN-CVNEnterprise-1.jpg" > without the spaces, to produce:

Wahoo!!! Now I don't get the little red X in the preview!!

So, now my only question is, do I need to use < /p > at the end of a post, if I have used < p > further up? Using < /p > doesn't seem to hurt -- I think?

HTML bores me ever since they took out the blink tag.

[Dust in the Wind]

Don’t need to use the < /P > tag.

Not quite on topic, but how can I kill the Texas forum post at the top of the comments when I go to FR? I’m using the URL:

http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/news-forum/index?brevity=brief;tab=comments

I’ve checked the options, but nothing seems to turn it off.

Sorry this took so long Rastus. On the phone with a sister...

I think if you go to the bottom of the page where you can see [configure sidebar] at the lower right. Click on that so that a page called "Manage Blocks" comes up. Go to the section called "Top". There you will see "Locale Message" and to its right a menu tab. Click the menu tab arrow and select "disabled" and see if this might do it for you.

Hope this helped.

[Rastus]

No need to apologize. I know you just do this to help in your spare time.

I didn’t even know about the Configure Sidebar link, but it looks like there’s some good stuff there. And, I was able to disable the Locale Message!

Thanks!

[Dust in the Wind]

Or try disabling “Announcements” the same way. Might be sad to say that no more of those than I get on the Kansas link it has never been an issue.

HTML bores me ever since they took out the blink tag.

The blink tag still works in the Opera browser.
