Sample News Post

How I Did It!

• Clicked on Reply To Group when reading the newsgroups.
• Highlighted the other user's comments, made the text Verdana and Small, and chose a dark gray for the text.
• I then took out any portions of the reply that weren't necessary to quote.
• Just to get it out of the way for a bit I selected before the text and hit return a few times.
• I then typed the title of the news post Responding To Newsgroup Post.
• I made the text Verdana, Dark Blue, Bold, and, Larger.
• I then used the backspace key to move the text up towards the header. Using the Right Margin Adjustment icon, I moved the quoted text two clicks past the default left margin.
• Typed in the text and used the Right Margin Adjustment icon again to move my reply one click past the default left margin.
• Sometimes, clicking on one paragraph and adjusting the margin will effect many. To solve this problem click on the paragraph directly below the one you're trying to adjust. Use the backspace to JOIN the two paragraphs together. Then hit enter. It might look the same as before, but this usually will let you select just one paragraph to move.
• Depending on how you do this. If you simply hit return after the words Comments in the Quoted material, the adjusted margin will remain two clicks in. In this case just use the Left Margin Adjustment icon to move it back one space.
• Entered the background URL in to Tools, Background, Picture...
• Then I typed in my reply below it.
• The signature was added using the Main Icon Toolbar as described in Your First HTML News Post or E-mail.
