Formatting

I'm not going to impose any strict formatting rules on you, but if you don't know a whole lot about html and want to learn, I'll show you how I format mine.

HTML 101:
The html tags I use are pretty simple: (in all of these cases, substitute { and } for < and >, respectively)
{b}Bold{/b} - Bold
{u}Underline{/u} - Underline
{i}Italics{/i} - Italics
{a href="http://www.google.com"}Link{/a} - Link
{img src="http://www.fugly.com/media/IMAGES/Random/tequila_kitty.jpg"} -
{blockquote}blah blah blah{/blockquote} -
blah blah blah

*note that you always have to close the tag by having {/whatever} at the end.

Now, what I've done so far with my posts is as follows:

{b}{u}Movie Title{/u}{/b} (any alternate names)
Year of release, Director
{a href="http://www.imdb.com"}Link to IMDb{/a}

Reviewed by So-and-So, Time, Date

{blockquote}
All my review comments go here

just like this

blah dee blah dee blah
{/blockquote}
When I want to say something unrelated to my review, I end the blockquote tag
{blockquote}
then start a new one

for the rest of my review
{/blockquote}


Which comes out looking like this:

Movie Title (any alternate names)
Year of release, Director
Link to IMDb

Reviewed by So-and-So, Time, Date


All my review comments go here

just like this

blah dee blah dee blah

When I want to say something unrelated to my review, I end the blockquote tag

then start a new one

for the rest of my review



If you're unsure of anything, use the "Preview" button at the top right hand side of the new post window. That'll show you what your finished post will look like.


There, now that the remedial class is over: Get reviewing!
