Formatting Tips

WordPress doesn’t have the easiest or most intuitive formatting capabilities. While there isn’t much we can do about that, we offer the following to help with basic formatting in your comments. Oddly, we have to post these instructions as a jpg because if we try to type the code, it will appear formatted rather than as the code you need. This is all very kludge, we know.

For those who would like a PDF, here it is: htmlformattingwp

Since our admin functionality is a little different, please let us know if this works.
