| Here are some tips gathered from here and there across these toobz.
if there is something you don't understand, keep it to yerself say something, dammit please ask, help will be a long time coming you figuring it out fer your dammself graciously given.
YOU-TUBE FIXES
to get the things to embed & post!
Near the end of the code find the place where it says allowscriptaccess="always" ..... delete this part & only this part!! be sure you have a space between shockwave-flash" & allowfullscreen...
to get rid of TITLE & STARS on you tube videos:
There are two places in youtube embed code where you'll find "fs=1"... just replace it in both places with "showinfo=0"
--- TEXT FORMATTING ---
Some of these have more than one way to acquire the deired results. This is because: 1)there are several solutions; 2)Some solutions work on some sites but not on others. If you have trouble with one method, try another and/or ask for help. Be particularly careful to put these exactly as shown. A misplaced backslash or forgotten ">" will mean the difference between having the solution work or not.
To italicize,
surround the text you want to italicize with <i> on the left and </i> on the right.
~Another way is to use the underline mark ( _ ) on the left & right. Leave no spaces between your underline & the first/last character you want to italicize.
To bold,
surround the text you want in bold with <b> on the left and </b> on the right.
~Another way is to use the asterisk mark ( * ) on the left & right. Leave no spaces between your asterisk & the first/last character you want to bold. Asterisks do NOT work inside of blockquotes!
To underline,
surround the text you want underlined with <u> on the left and </u> on the right.
To blockquote
surround the text you want to blockquote with <blockquote> on the left and </blockquote> on the right.
To strike out text with a line through it,
surround the text you want to strike out with <strike> on the left and </strike> on the right.
~(an easier way is to surround the text you want to strike out with <s> on the left and </s> on the right.)
~Another way is to use the minus sign or dash mark ( - ) on the left & right. Leave no spaces between your dash & the first/last character you want to strike through.
to make sub-script (little letters below the regular text line),
surround the text you want to subscript with <sub> on the left and </sub> on the right.
to make super-script (little letters above the regular text line),
surround the text you want to superscript with <sup> on the left and </sup> on the right.
to make 'sub-super'script (little itty-bitty letters centered in the regular text line),
surround the text you want to sub-superscript with <sub><sup> on the left and </sup></sub> on the right.
To center text on a page,
surround the text you want to center
with <center> on the left and </center> on the right.
Fancy Fonts & colors
To create text that has a different font:
on the left (or the beginning) of the text put <font face="papyrus"> and on the right (or the end) of the text put </font>
I am NOT sure which of the fonts can be used. I would imagine "true type" fonts would work.
To change the size of the text:
on the left (or the beginning) of the text put <font size=+2> and on the right (or the end) of the text put </font>
The number can be changed, from 1-5. (maybe higher, I'm not sure)
To change the color of the text:
on the left (or the beginning) of the text put <font color="blue"> and on the right (or the end) of the text put </font>
These colors can be used:
RED
BLUE
GREEN
ORANGE
YELLOW
PURPLE
PINK (pink)
BROWN
CYAN
MAROON
WHITE
BLACK
Other colors may or may not work/show up. These are ones I've used successfully.
BLACK is the default color for most applications.
Be careful using WHITE.it will disappear on most screen backgrounds.
I had to use the blockquote box here for it to show up at all.
You can 'piggyback' several font commands together, but you must always have:
on the left (or the beginning) <font > and on the right (or the end) of the text put </font> and you MUST leave a space between commands.
Here is an example:
<font face="papyrus" size=+3 color="maroon">Wimpy Badger</font>
You will get: Wimpy Badger
ALWAYS preview your 'Fancy Font' before posting!
To create a gray divider line in your article,
like the gray lines between the sections of this Formatting Tips page, place an <hr> tag where you want the gray line to appear. The <hr> tag can be used by itself and is one of the few HTML tags that does not require a closing </hr> tag.
To create a line feed (like hitting enter)use a <br> tag. You can use two <br> tags in succession (<br><br>) to create a blank line, or multiple <br> tags in succession to create multiple blank lines. Like <hr> tags, <br> tags do not require closing </br> tags.
