ADDING YOUR RESPONSE

The Text Box

At the end of every topic is a text box where you are given the opportunity to add your two cents.

To add your response:

Type your response into the text box at the bottom of the screen.

You must hit the return key at the end of each line, the text will not automatically wrap around.

Choose the "Submit response" button.

Your response will be added to the end of the conversation and will show up as a "new" response the next time you read the topic.

Adding HTML To Your Response

If you know HTML you can add links to your response. Type the anchor reference as usual.

For example if you are posting a link to Yahoo you would type your response as follows:

Here is my favorite Internet index page. It is called <A HREF=http://www.yahoo.com>Yahoo.</A>

And it would appear as follows:

Here is my favorite Internet index page. It is called
Yahoo.

Make sure you close any open tags before submitting your response.
