Question about posting on Free Republic (no sarcasm please :-> )

[shibumi]

Gentlemen! (I assume)
Lest we forget what's really important,
Let's get back to the purpose of this thread.

Let's be sarcastic to the n00bie!

Not you.

(Besides your ashibumi is all wrong.)

images are separate subject because you have to upload them to an image host like fliqr.com and link to them - it's easy, but a separate subject. That said, it's not REALLY necessary to learn HTML.

1. Go out on the internets and find a free wysiwyg editor.
2. For almost all of these, you have the ability to type into a MS Word like interface, where you can highlight something and click bold, and it will turn bold.
3. Then, when you're done, there is probably an 'HTML' view for the editor where you can, copy and paste, the actual HTML that you generated.
4. That said, there are really only about 6 HTML tags you have to understand to just type it in realtime.
5. Just remember, as soon as you use ONE html tag in your post, the entire post is going to be interpreted as HTML. Hence, if you use a single instance of any html, like tag pair for italics: <i> and </i>, be prepared that you have just declared that you are using your own HTML, and FR will not interpret line breaks and paragraphs for you any more.
6. if you learn tag pairs for italics, bold, maybe font color, singular tags for line breaks and new paragraphs, and maybe strikethrough, underline, subscript and superscript, you'll be fine.
7. I don't know about the sandbox, but w3schools.com is where I always go if I need a quick reference on markup and many software language issues. Learning CSS will give you the most power with html - you can get that @w3schools too.

I use the way below because all I have to do is cut and paste one link. Inserting an html code for a link means I have to insert a code for every line break and every paragraph, something I tend to forget until I hit preview.

Have you seen a response to a post or article that looks like a 1000 word paragraph with no breathing room that says “HTML is our friend” Someone forgot to hit preview. :)

BTW, the 2 horizontal lines in the post are not html codes. To insert a horizontal line hit the = key several times. It will translate into a horizontal line.

Above, see where it says 51 of 64? Right click it,copy and paste where you want it to appear and you get a clickable link:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2950332/posts?page=51#51

That link will bring up post 51. Even though 51 is in the link, I would put above or below the link Post 51

For example:

blah, blah, blah blah blah:
Post 51
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2950332/posts?page=51#51
blah blah blah

I understood you- was trying to come up with a picture of the innocent drive-by poster happening upon FR for the first time who discovers this unique lovefest.

[shibumi]

His footwork still stinks.

Yes, indeed.

Relax the being.

The guy in your photo is “Akwar-dachi.”

LOL!

Iirc there was a thread that explained all the Freeperisms, such as “Hugh and seriesly” and “a moose bit my sister”. That might interest new FRiends, anyone have a link to that? :)

[kalee]

Oops! I accidently revived this thread when I unknowingly tapped a sandbox link. Sorry I revived an old thread!

[Vision Thing]

Uh oh. Now you’ve gone and done it: you awakened a zombie thread. :)
