"Well, if you're gonna post their ultraliberal garbage, you might's well use the power of HTML to make it readable: "

How did you do that?

How did you do that?

  1. Used my browser (Netscape) to "VIEW" their page "as Source"
  2. COPIED the section of HTML source code I wanted to use.
  3. PASTED the code into my HTML editor.
  4. Used the HTML editor to remove everything superfluous and clean up their code a bit.
  5. COPIED and Pasted the code into the FR posting editor window
  6. PREVIEWED it
  7. Tweaked it a bit, and POSTED it...
It helps if you know a little HTML, of course. (For exmple, the above is a standard HTML "Ordered List")

I understand there is an excellent "HTML Boot Camp" right here on FR. Check it out...

BTW, drafting your posts in a HTML editor is much preferable to trying to use FR's tiny post-editing window. And it makes things like adding italics, boldface, and, even, color a snap...
