  1. For those who aren't sure of the syntax, this might help.

    The basics...

    <strong>bold</strong> = bold
    <em>italics</em> = italics
    <code>code</code> = code

    "Unordered Lists"
    <ul><li>apple</li>
    <li>banana</li>
    <li>orange</li></ul> =

    • apple
    • banana
    • orange

    "Ordered Lists"
    <ol><li>first</li>
    <li>second</li>
    <li>third</li></ol> =

    1. first
    2. second
    3. third

    if you are curious - em = "emphasis", and li = "list item"

    Thanks Bubby

    I guess now I really don't have anymore excuses for not having learned at least the simplest of all HTML.... sigh....

    Aaaargh... "I don't want to learn any "new finangled" fancy-pants computer lingo... I'm just here for the money!!" LOL ;-)

    But look.... I did it! And it only hurt slightly. Thanks again for the gentle edu-nudge

  5. If you are running Firefox as a browser, The following extension can be a big help and can make things a lot easier - when dealing with web links.

    Bubby - Thanks for the link to Colt. I wish I would have had this yesterday when I was compiling the post for Buyers Tools for Deals, Coupons, Reviews and Searching.

    MrB has posted about CoLT a couple of times already.
    It seems very interesting. It's already in my folder "FF stuff to install" since January.
    But... my poor FF has already too many extensions - it has become too slôôôw. I've tried to uninstall a few, I really did, but been unsuccessful. I've looked and looked at my DumpList - I need them all!! A conundrum!! Just managed to disable ~3 or 4, but didn't uninstall any 8-(

    Have already ordered more RAM for both laptops and a bigger HD for mine, plus a 1T MyBook to dump all the PC's back-ups in.
    GOTD is a blessing AND a curse!! Damn you!!! I've been spending so much money in hardware & software since I've started coming here... You don't want to know!!
    I think TPTB should demand a subsidy from these companies for making us buy so much stuff. It's quite sneaky, me thinks! It could turn out to be a great mktg strategy ;-)

    We are supposed to post all our favourite/installed Add-ons, Extensions & Search Engines, to help each other compare & discover. Well... Nobody has had the time either!
    I hardly have the time to look out the window!! Sad, I know...
    I'm sure we'll do it soon =³0³= It's the when part is fuzzy, though! ;x)

    I believe that I've finally gotten the hang of forum HTML markups. Today I learned how I could use backticks. Check out my post in the test thread. I posted it as a test and it worked. Maybe what I wrote can help others learn too.

    I've got a text file I use to collect url's and snippets in, I've added <a href="">G What is it 00</a> to it as a fast template, so I can copy/paste it to the edit pane, copy/paste in the url between the "" 's and update the text.

    also <em></em>, <blockquote></blockquote>, and <strong></strong>- plus a pair of backticks.

    to say I don't type well anymore is a cosmic class understatement.
