I need #help# too Emily! I've found lots of cool smileys, but when it comes to the fancy graphics, I'm clueless too! #1087# It all seems a little daunting

Hi Emily! Being pretty computer illiterate, it's usually easier for me to show someone how to do something than to type instructions, but I'll see if I can help. To change the font: I started playing around with the "add tags" buttons above the reply box to see what each button would do to the text. For a different font, highlight your text and click on the red A. This will give you the verbena font which is the default. Someone else may know an easier way to do this, but I made a list of the different fonts from my WordPad and tried substituting each one for the verbena. Some of these fonts won't work here, but a lot do. You can also use the A with the up & down arrows to enlarge the text. The default is 2, but you can change it to make it larger or smaller (like -2 to make small letters). The B is for bold, G=glow, D=shadow. With G & D, you can have 2 colors. For the graphics, you can find a free graphics site and insert them like you do pictures. See Laurie's Posting Smilies 101 thread for the sites that she and Cammy recommended. I found many on the uselessgraphics site. I hope you can make some sense of my instructions. If I can help further, please feel free to pm me! xoxo Mary Lee

Mary Lee, you're the best. I knew you'd jump in with help. I've been wondering about all that stuff myself. I know Cammy is real good at it too.

Hi Emily, Carol, Mary Lee, and Cheryl,
Good afternoon! For some reason, I couldn't make the shadow and glow to work when I try incorporating it with my text messages. It worked just once and that was it! lol

Thanks for posting this info, Mary Lee -- karma to you!! #clap# I had figured out several of those buttons just by trial and error, and using the Preview button over and over!
I always wondered where you found all the fancy graphics, especially those used in the Milestone threads. Did you and Cammy find those fancy fonts (like the sparkly one) on those other sites too?

Joyce, thanks for the karma!! I figured it mostly by trial and error and asking a few questions. My fonts are just the different ones from WordPad. I'm not sure where the sparkly fonts that Cammy uses come from.
Emily, don't get frustrated! If you can pm me a practice sentence, maybe I can look at it and see where the error is. It's almost like a math equation, as Jonah told me! LOL
