How to Put Links, Images & Highlights in Your Post Using HTML
I have learned HTML formatting by trial and error. I almost always type the image, the headline, the body (with links and the any credits. Here is the code for "I, Condit" with commentary following. I will use square brackets "]" = ">" and "[" = "<" so that the computer will not interpret my text as HTML code and hide the code from view:
-----
[img src="http://wwwimage.cbsnews.com/images/2002/05/23/image509979x.jpg" align=right vspace=8 hspace=8][strong]
I, Condit
[/strong]
Robert Graves had the Emperor Claudius make this same remark, I believe in [a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I,_Claudius"]Claudius the God[/a]. I believe I've heard it elswhere as well.
It is for this reason that I support a limit of one term for any federal office and wish the qualifying ages for Representative, Senator & President to be raised significantly. No one who hasn't retired from a real career in the real world should suckle at the federal tit or pull the puppeteers strings.
What does it tell you that [a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Condit#Brothers_in_public_eye"]Gary Condit's[/a] father was a Baptist minister whose three sons were a convict with a 20 year rap sheet, a married senator with a murdered girlfriend, and a disgraced cop who literally shot himself in his own ass?

The codes are
for images (items in caps are OPTIONAL or VARIABLE) & remembeer to use ">" & "<"
[img src="IMAGE-URL-HERE"]
to specify alignment use:
align=RIGHT (or LEFT or TOP or BOTTOM)
to specify width for images that are too big or small use:
width=##% where ## is any number from 1 to 99. This is a percentage of the widtyh of the screen. I usually specify 30 to 40 percent.
to put a margin around your post use:
vspace=#
hspace=#
where v means vertical, h means horizontal, and the # is in the dimension of points just like text is sized in points.
An image specifying width, alignment and position would say:
[img src="http://rebirthofreason.com/img/People/2470.jpg" ALIGN=RIGHT VSPACE=24 HSPACE=2 WIDTH=50%] which results in my avatar blown up on the right with little margins to the sides but big margins beneath and above. Using ALIGN=LEFT or TOP or BOTTOM is a little harder to work with. Also, is you use align=right then you should insert your image before you type your text. See the code for I, Condit above.
You can make text BIG or Bold or small by surrounding it with the right code before and after.
You can make text [big]BIG[/big] or [strong]STRONG[/strong] or [small]SMALL[/small] by surrounding it with the right code [i]before[/i] and [i]after[/i].
the general form is [HTML]Text[/HTML] with the forward slash inside the brackets meaning end the effect. If you do not put [/HTML] then the effect will run to the end of your post.
You can get neat effects like
[small]small[small]smaller[small]smallest[/small][/small][/small]
smallsmallersmallest
or
tiny
little
small
average
large
big
huge
humongous!
from
[small][small][small]
tiny[/small]
little[/small]
small[/small]
average
[big]large
[big]big
[big]huge
[big]humongous![/big][/big][/big][/big]
And, finally for this post, italics use [i]Text[/i].
I'll find my old link text and make a link to it later.
