To spice up your posts, use "BBCode," which is similar to HTML. BBCode is much like the standard way many message board systems use to allow users to decorate their messages. In the examples below, a space is placed after the left bracket character '['. When you uses these code, don't include the extra space. Examples:

Urls in messages will be automatically linked. However, to ensure a link is just like you want it, enclose it in the [ url] tags.

[ url]http://www.living-foods.com/[/url]
----[www.living-foods.com]

You can also link text.

[ url=http://www.living-foods.com/]The best raw foods website[/url]
----Link the text 'The best raw foods website' to http : //www.living-foods.com/
----The best raw foods website

Or, email addresses: [ email]user@ example.com[/email] user@example.com

To insert an image in your message use the [ img] tag.

[ img]http://www.living-foods.com/images/livingfoods.gif[/img]
----Create an image tag that shows that image.
----

Tags can be combined. For example:
[ url=http://www.living-foods.com/][ img]http://www.living-foods.com/images/livingfoods.gif[/img][/url]
----

To enhance the formatting of your messages, you can use some or all of these:

[ b]Bold Text[/b] Bold Text

[ u]Underlined Text[/u] Underlined Text

[ i]Italicized Text[/i] Italicized Text

[ color=red]Make red text[/color] Make red text

[ size=18pt]Make the text larger/smaller[/size] Make the text larger/smaller

Again, these can be combined:

[ i][ color=blue][ size=16pt]This would be a large, blue, italic text[/size][/color][/i]
This would be a large, blue, italic text

To better format your paragraphs, we offer these tags:

[ center]Centered Text[/center]
Centered Text

[ quote]Specify a block of text as a quote[ /quote]

Quote

Specify a block of text as a quote

[ code]Display data in a fixed font with fixed formatting[/code]

Name     Age      Hair     Weight
----     ---      -----    ------
Joe      12       Blond    75
Fred     11       Black    80
Jill     13       Red      70
Jack     12       Brown    72

[ hr] The [ hr] has no close tag. It creates a line in your message

Wow! Super helpful, Thanks!

How do you switch to BBCode? I am so confused ??

Thanks, Bryan!

Love,

I've updated the original post to include better instructions for setting up your signature. Also, at the end of the post, I've included a link to a document where you can copy and paste the examples directly into your own posts. In these examples, you don't have to worry about removing the extra space that occurs in the examples after the "[" character.

Also, when testing your posts with fancy formatting, it best to use the "Preview" button to make sure your formatting (and of course your spelling and grammar) are they way you want them.

Bryan (or anyone)....Could you tell me how to edit a post? I've tried everything but just can't figure it out. Other people seem to have no trouble at all.......WY

You can only edit your posts for a short time after you post and then the edit button disapears. (I don't know how long you have but it might be 10 minutes or something).

Bryan:

Just how long is the edit button effective? I clicked on it to edit my post and by the time I clicked on Save Changes the feature apparently was no longer effective and would not accept my changes.

Thanks

Let's see if this works?

just curious is there a list of colors to choose from?

...Jodi, the banana eating buddhist

Just experiment with obvious colour names and the words dark or light:

lightgreen
green
darkgreen
lightblue
blue
darkblue
purple
lightred
pink
red
darkred
lightyellow
yellow

You will notice lightred didn't work because light red is pink!

mercury,

rawrrr!

This is me after a fast living on fruit (which lasted a month....)







This is me cooked (Bear in mind that this is two years ago - Two more years of abuse have done me in but I have no photos to show you my present state of chalkiness and puffiness and fatigue - Luckily I think that until recently my inner light gave me a glow no matter how bad I treated my body - But that can't last forever and alas I am not looking like myself anymore....The good news is that this is temporary!)






Posting these pictures brings me sadness and joy - Sadness at what I have done to myself and joy at the idea that I can recover my health. Thanks for listening. Oh - I have a short pixie hair cut now too - Chocolate brown - I like my hair short....

I am having so much problem putting in images, any suggestions please!

Show me an example of what you are doing, and I can show you how to fix it.

Hi Bryan, I sent you a PM thru your in box. If you could delete my raw diary called Raw Notes, that would be appreciated. I can start a new one, with less personal info. in it.

Thanks so much!

Love,
Prism

Hey, good day, Bryan I followed your add a picture ha and it was added oh boy huge it is could you tell me how to make it small like jpg or like yours!!

Practicing images..here goes: Before pics of my dog's teeth so I can review in a couple weeks after adding in raw rib bones, and some other teeth cleaning care options.

Cushy age 8 and 1/2 years old.









I did it!

Love,
Prism

how did you make your pictures small as you notice mine is huge

Hi Tammy,

If you have a Macintosh, you can use iPhoto to crop your picture to just your face. On windows, you can use a program like Photoshop Elements or PaintShopPro to do this.

Thanks Bryan, say i uses the photobucket.com like you suggested and the big picture was the result do i mess with it on photobucket or no i need to some how make it small on one of my own programs and than uploaded again?

Ok - lemmie see if my photo will appear in my signature.... if so thanks in advance!
