A What Have You Done List

I stole this idea from Bonny's site. I cannot do bold without html. I have a mac and cannot get the header to make bold font. If I can and you know how...Let me in on it please!
So in the interest of saving time, I will mark X next to the things I have done....And add unnecessary commentary! Can't help myself.
It would be fun if you did the same and then I could get to know you too. Unless you are shy or don't give a fat rat's ass. Or if you are Bonn, I already know what YOU did!

It's the old fashioned ("disfavored") way, but blogger will let you put in bold and italic if you know the code.

Use the inequality signs over the comma and the period.
"Strong" between those signs, with a "/" before the second "strong", will make everything between the two strongs bold. "em" will do the same for italic.

Here is one of many on-line reference guides to HTML.

For all you lurkers out there, yes, the woman and I DO speak other than on line.

I didn't want to post with HTML. It takes too long as does this post.....

the bright one said...

Or you can just use a b instead of strong.

the bright one said...

Oh, another good site for html is here

Anne said...

out of the mouths of babes, eh nancy?! you GO zoe. thanks for listening to the podcast, nance.
have a lovely sunday.

Nancy said...

This is too funny. Three of us within two feet of each other all on our laptops communicating via my blog...
Seriously, I am cracking up!

Nancy said...

Zoe is a clever girl!

Hey Annie, your podcast was very cool...You were so calm during your interview! I remember the day the guy told you he was from closet deadheads and wanted to talk to you!

I think I got the bold HTML down, eh? How come Blogger doesn't just give us a font drop down box? Us being Mac users!

Grumpy Old Man said...

Firefox for Mac shows up more drop-down boxes, including bold and italic,

Internet Explorer for mac doesn't show any. It's an old program that hasn't been updated for years -- and you still need it for some sites!

I don't know about Camino or Opera.
