I have said before, I am a techno idiot (but, I have a laptop, Garmin 305 & iPod & other stuff, so there's hope.)
See my groups or signature below?
Tried to change in profile. Figured, it's a hyperlink so I put < a >< /a > those around it, but it didn't work.

So, in the section where it says:

Only the following HTML tags are permitted in the signature:
< a >, < b >, < br >, < i > , < li >, < pre >, < s >, < u >, < ul >

What do those things mean/do? (At least I realize to space them out.)

I know the ones for posting/replying (underline, italices, bold, hyperlink) but which do I wanna use to make a link to my groups or whatever I may next want to put down there? Is it not hyperlink?

Is there a primer or idiot page on the net that I could find, or do I just need to grab a random 7th grader?

I am not sure what they mean either, so I'll sit here and wait with you for the answers. Smile

Did you click the little box that says "Signature contains html"?

Not quite, but I'll deal later: I just went in and clicked the "Signature contains html" box to no avail.
So, I will read that link.
But first, taxes. Been procrastinatin', as I know my refund will have shrunk.
And, I'm kickin' w/ some French wine.

What you have now is not proper HTML. Do this:

< a href="http://runningahead.com/groups/Boston2008/">Boston 2008< /a>
< a href="http://runningahead.com/groups/DWARP/">DWARP< /a>
< a href="http://runningahead.com/groups/MMM/">Marathon Madness Mob< /a>

just remove the spaces

Thanks. What was I doing wrong? (You can e-mail me offline, if you want, so as not to waste valuable space here.)

I probably should have been more explicit by replacing the spaces you need to remove with some other character. You removed the space between the "a" and the "href", which the browser thinks is something else. You should be able to modify your signature now to make it look better.

I wish that I could think of something to link to so that I could try my new knowledge. Wink Thanks Eric! And good question, Denphin! Wink
