Sometimes I just cut and paste, then add quotation marks around the quote. Whatever works. By the way, Welcome. Where abouts is "Upinthewoods"?? |

Upinthewoods; Hi, Awatha! (Like in Hiawatha.) If you are really up in the woods then you have met a kindred spirit, namely me, tponetom. As Ray just asked, "Where is Upinthewoods?" Is it maybe the U. P.? |

Mikem's above link is well worth bookmarking for these formatting tricks. I'm curious about the "Enable HTML code in message" option near the bottom of this page. Has anyone played with HTML within these posts? Any exotic discoveries? Is it possible to run scripts within a post here? |

I tried a little html when I first started posting and all that happened was the codes showed up in the message. Let's try it again. This next sentence should be in bold. Hey, it works! |

Of course there's always this fun trick. Secret messages. Just apply lemon juice to your monitor to watch it appear. |
