Paragraph Help for Camnstarr4eva
Ok, so what you want to do:
In the normal post reply window, click on the icon that says 'html'. A new window should pop up. This is where you can type html code in and have it work :D
So the code bit: The way you want to think of html is like a sandwich- a filling with ends on either side. Every command has a beginning and an end, and whatever's between the two will be affected. Commands themselves are enclosed in carrots: < >. For paragraphs, the 'command' is the letter p, so to start the paragraph you type <p>. Then you type the text of your paragraph. To end the paragraph, you type </p>. Slashes always signal the ending command. When you want a new paragraph, you simply repeat this process.
So, for example, if I wanted my post to look like this:
Hello world
I like cookies
I would type this into the popup window:
<p>Hello world</p> <p>I like cookies</p>
When you're finished creating your masterpiece of a post, click update at the bottom of the window. You should return to the normal reply posting screen. Then click post, and hopefully you'll have paragraphs!
So I hope this helps you with your tale of technological woe :D And, as a side note, the formula I showed you for html works for everything else too. If for example you want to bold something, simply replace the 'p's with 'b's. ^_^
