Right! More recently, if I didn’t hit “go Advanced” first to preview my post, I got odd gibberish at the start of the post. Of course that’s not happening now, so I can’t show you what I’m talking about.</p>

<p>That was a test-hopefully I did it right! - APOL-a mom</p>

<p>OMG…I did it! I am not sure why the print came out as a slant, however…
but, thanks everyone!!! Another old dog…aka APOL</p>

<p>Medium-aged dog here looking for this plus another new trick. First. . .

</p>

<p>But I also want to know (and am too lazy to read through the FAQs) how to add those cute smiley faces?</p>

<p>You’re learning HTML. You can use the same approach to add bold, italics, color, etc.</p>

<p>For instance, to bold a word, type [ b ] word [ /b ] but without the spaces inside the brackets. For italics, use an i instead of a b. </p>

<p>All kinds of things are possible!</p>

<p>You can make **bold **text by highlighting text and hitting control B (or do [B ] and [/B ]</p>

<p>You can make *italicized *text by highlighting text and hitting control I</p>

<p>You can make underlined text by highlighting text and hitting control U</p>
