This is in response to questions of how to add images, links, and formatting to chatterbox posts and your ReefSpace text boxes.

First, a little HTML basics.

All HTML formatting consits of text within "tags." Tags are special words put inside of carat marks like < THIS > . For every opening tag telling HTML to treat the text a certain way, there has to be a closing tag to tell it to stop. That is the same tag but with a slash in front
of it like < /THIS > . NOTE: Real HTML tags do not have spaces in them. Those have to be there so that you can view the code in this document!

Headers:

To add larger, bolder headlines to your writing, use the "h" tags, with 1,2,3 or 4 after them. For example, here on ReefSpace,

This is an < H1 > tag.

This is an < H2 > tag.

This is an < H3 > tag.

This is an < H4 > tag.

Remember that at the end of your headline, you have to CLOSE the tag with < /H1>, < /H2 >, < /H3 >, or < /H4 > (the one that corresponds to your opening tag).

Embedding Images:

Want to add a photo into your blog or ReefSpace box? Here's how. 1. Get the URL of the image on another website (right-click the image, go to properties, and copy the URL) 2. Insert it into < IMG > tags like this: < IMG SRC="http://www.reefsanctuary.com/photos/reefspace-button.jpg" >< /IMG >

That will show this image:
(Right-click this image and select "properties" to see the URL!)
