Help Wanted

I cannot figure out how to make paragraph or list indentations on this blog thing! Any advice? In the meantime, I am color-coding all those items which should be nicely aligned in columns! HELP!!

Lori, you should have a WYSIWYG interface to use. Are you only using the html/code window?

Do you have a laptop. I could have Jennifer meet you somewhere and see what you're doing....

If it makes you feel better, I wouldn't be able to color code without doing some research.

WTH is a WYSIWYG interface?

I do have a laptop that the school just gave me...I think I may take you up on your Jennifer offer!

Thanks for the attempted ego-boost...

Generally paragraph indentations are not used on the web. The convention is to separate paragraphs with an empty line.

Here's a list tutorial if you don't mind getting your fingers into a little html (no need to go wisywig, just do it by hand).

Ops, messed up that link. Try this one

Thanks, Bob...it will be a while before I have time to sort through it and figure it out...but a week or so after school starts, maybe I will try.

BTW, I can't even get an empty line b/w paragraphs. I have resorted to a dotted line, because even if I double-space, it automatically runs together. I'll keep trying.

Then try the paragraph tags:

My question is: Who told you that? And isn't it just because most people don't know how to use the English language properly and therefore they don't?

I think a general "dumbing down" of languages is taking place in the world right now and that this is just another facet of it's manifestation.

What do you think of that?
