How do I use the tools at the top of the "new post" page?

[solopaddler]

I need help LOL! (and I need things explained in a simple way )

I'm trying to post my Alaskan report and was trying to figure out how to use the controls at the top of the new post page as I was trying to change the font size and underline certain things.

 

I can't do it.

 

I can't emphasize enough, if you can explain it, explain it as if you're talking to a 4 year old .

 

Thanks guys!

Tools at the top of the page

 

2 options

 

Before you type the words you would like to bold....click on the b

Two of these will appear.... type the word or words in between the symbols

You will not see the words in bold until you preview or post it.

 

Or

 

Right click and highlight whatever word or words that you want to bold, then click the b

 

 

Italics, underline etc work the same way

Glen....

 

the word that's actually a link thingy

 

when you wish to place a link in your post you click on the symbol just to the right of the smiley face, a window will appear asking for the link....after you put the adress in, click ok another pops up and asks for a Title, type whatever you want to call the link and select OK
