How to add pix, fonts and colors to yr post -- for Maya

If you want to spice up your postings, when you are typing the text for a posting, take a look at the toolbar -- a row of buttons just above the place you type your text -- it looks like this:



You can change the typestyle by selecting the text you wish to change, then selecting a Font and Size from the dropdown lists:

You can make the text bold, italic, or change its color (or all of the above) with the following buttons, respectively:

You can add a link to another web page with this button.

With these 4 buttons, respectively: you can format your text

left-justified

centered

right justified or

evenly spaced so the words fill up a line (this doesn't seem to work though)

With these two buttons, you can:

create a numbered list

1. apples
2. oranges
3. bananas

or a bulleted list:

• apples
• oranges
• bananas

to add a picture, click this button. A file selection dialog box will appear enabling you to search on your computer and select a picture to upload. Only certain picture formats seem to work -- "jpeg" format (file extension .jpg) works.

There are a few other buttons, too -- roll your mouse over them and text will appear that gives a hint as to what they do.

Happy blogging! (and no, i didn't just figure all that out today; I used to do this sort of thing for a living).
