SOS!!! This Blogger Needs YOU!

*UPDATE*

And now I feel like the world's biggest idiot! Thanks Momma Fargo and Noel!!! I always write in "edit Html" because, well, I never really saw the "compose" tab. Hah. Wow. Thanks ladies :)

And do you know how much better you just made blogging for me? The "edit Html" always looked like gibberish after I would italicize, bold, add a picture, etc. How have I gone 6 months without knowing any different??



Does anyone know how to make the font of some words in a post smaller than the rest of the text???

Or how to change the color of only certain words in the text?

Doe anyone even know what the heck I'm asking?

Even if you're just a lurker, if you know the answer, will you please, please, please email me??? I've tried google searching, but apparently my complex brain isn't capable of breaking it down into a simple search.

Please? With a cherry on top? I'll give you a prize!

PS, please don't leave it in a comment, if you have the answer. Some people's comments I can't reply to and obviously I want to reply to the lovely person who knows more about blogger than I ever will :)

PPS, I made this sound way more urgent than it really is. Whoops.

MAHALO!

When you are typing your post...there should be a text bar. If you don't see it...click on COMPOSE and it should show it. The font thingy is a large T with an arrow. The color is an A with an arrow and the colors you can pick after that.

Sorry, I'm going to be bad and post this- you don't have to reply. It SHOULD pop up when you write a new blog. There is a little toolbar with font type, strikeout, italics, etc.

Click the little T, big T button to vary font size.
Click the A with the black bar underneath it to change the color.

MAKE SURE you are in the "Compose" tab, not the "Edit HTML" tab.

If it doesn't come up, I don't know what to tell you...I use Blogger on Mozilla on a Dell laptop and that's just how mine comes up.

Ok, I'm laughing.

However, don't feel too bad........

I went until 12th grade before I knew you could automatically double space papers.

That's right..... from the time I learned to type papers until the beginning of 12th grade, I would write a paper and then hit "Enter" after each line to create double spacing.

My English teacher looked at me like I was a pure idiot when I discovered this fact right in front of her.

I'm just thankful that I found out at the beginning of my AP English class.

Apparently, posts like this are why I like you and we are friends, lol.

Oh and for future reference the actual HTML for color is < font color = " r e d " >
No spaces, except in between font and color. Just type in anything...You can google HTML color codes and different names will pop up. Like "deeppink" is a darker, brighter pink than "pink," which is just a pastel.

You want to know why I (sadly) learned this?
Myspace.
Which is now seemingly outdated by Facebook.
Oh well.

haha! you are adorable :-) I love using Blogger in Draft to compose and edit posts (Google it). And I also use Live Writer sometimes, too. And then other times I just use the plain old Blogger one. Hmmmm....maybe I'm the one that's fickle!!

I don't know about Blogger. Its a mystery.
But there is this book:

I'm eagerly awaiting my turn at Wordpress for dummies from my library.
Love ya.

I love that you know how to have your signature.

Just Popping In

I didn't intend to skip out for the past (almost) week, &, as a matter of fact, I actually HAD things to blog about (shocking, I know), but the end of last week was pure chaos and time did not allow for much of anything other than work/appointments/errands/getting ahead on school work/playing mom to three kids all weekend. And all of that running around & time spent with kids has left me with a terrible cold, intense nausea, and sleep deprevation. However, my flight leaves at 7:05 tomorrow morning & by 2 EST, I'll be in beautiful St Thomas with another friend visiting one of my favorite people in the world & for that, I am beyond grateful. Catch y'all in a week or so! Aloha. Or whatever the Caribbean equivalent of goodbye is.

Random Facts about Me You Probably Don't Care to Know.

Brown Eyed Girl Jenn did this post earlier today and I thought it was fun, I haven't done a meme in ages, and I have a handful of new followers who may like to know useless information about me, so I figured what the heck? Might as well steal it. Thanks, Jenn! The ABCs of yours truly! A. Age -- 23. I'll be 24 on May 20th (I love surprises in the mail, hint hint ;)) and some days I can't believe I'm that old, while others, I can't believe I'm that young. B. Bed size -- Queen and it's the most heavenly thing in the world, which is great, but also bad, because it is nearly impossible to pull myself out of bed every morning... or afternoon. C. Chore you dislike -- Cleaning the shower would probably be my least favorite. I have a shower/tub combo and I really just hate getting on my hands and knees and scrubbing the bejeezus out of the thing. Plus, I feel like I smell like Clorox for the next 3 showers. D. Dogs -- I have two fur babies, you can read about them

The Season of Giving... & Receiving

Read this post. Trust me, you'll want to. Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year. From Thanksgiving until January 1st, I forget about how much I despise cold weather and bask in the warmth that is Christmas cheer. Oh, Lord, is that cheesy or what? But I mean it. There's just something about all the decorations, the music, the preparation for the birth of my Lord, that makes me all giddy. But it can also be a stressful time with the end of school, shopping to do, letters to send, volunteer work, etc. I know I'm not the only person in the world who stresses. Kids, taking care of the home, jobs, finding a job, loved ones who are fighting for our freedom overseas, school, being a good friend and family member-- it can all be so overwhelming and take a toll on the body. I try to use homeopathic remedies (I think that's the term I'm looking for...) when I'm feeling incredibly stressed because Lord knows my body gets pumped full of enough pharmaceuticals as is
