<a></a> and such stuff. i am an idiot (Read 1006 times)

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="" /><> 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?

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

Make sure the little box that says "contains HTML" is checked on your sig line...

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.

OK, maybe you can be my offline tutor, Eric I'd pay you lots, but the taxman cameth strong and vicious this year. I took out the spaces, but it still don't look right.

I took the liberty and fixed it for you

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

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