I Can't Think Of A Title For This Post...

...and it's making me crazy! Bloggers in general must have a gift that I clearly don't share. But I need to get something together here so I can get this assignment done. Sort of throw myself into the deep end, as it were.

Let's check out the cool buttons.

This is a larger font size. This is a smaller size. This is the largest size. This is the smallest. And we're back to normal.

This is a different font. It's called Trebuchet.
This is another different font. It's called webdings. (Translation: it's called Webdings. I don't think I'll be using it much)

This font is called courier. I don't know where that name came from.

This font is called Georgia. Probably because it looks like the state.

This font is called Lucida Grande. So I'm guessing it's an Hispanic font.

This font is called Times. Probably related to the New York Times. On his mother's side.

This font is called Verdana. Which is a city in California. (I just made that part up.)

And we're back to Arial. Which was the name of Kevin Bacon's love interest in the movie
Footloose
. (heh)


And we're back to Font. Because it's at the top of the list.

That was fun.

This is bold.

This is italic.

This is color. So is this. And this. And this, this, this, this, this, and this. This is black again. But it's actually the color black I picked from the color template. I don't know how to shut the color template off. I wonder if anyone will notice?

This is a link. (surprise, even though I already did a link before)

I don't think I want to deal with aligning text that much.
Left align.
Right align.
Center.
Justify full. (doesn't seem to do anything. I'll have to try that later.)

Here is a numbered list of numbers.
  1. Three.
  2. Two.
  3. One.
  4. Two.
  5. Three.
  6. Fourteen.
  7. Sorry, just messing with you anal-retentive types. (Is anal-retentive really hyphenated?)
Here are some bullet points.

  • forty-four caliber
  • forty-five caliber
  • twenty-two caliber
  • thirty-eight caliber
  • five bullets is probably enough
  • something about a grassy knoll
Block quote. I'm not sure what this does. It appears to indent the text. I'm guessing if I had enough text it would be included in a "box" that visually sets it apart from the rest of the text. I wish there were some way to test my theory though. But I'm helpless when dealing with technology. *sigh*


There's a spellchecking button that says "Done spellchecking" when I press it.

That stupid block quote button is still blocking things. This used to be left aligned. So even though I clicked the block quote button, it's still turning on when I start typing. This is frustrating. And when I highlight this whole block, it just makes a smaller block under the previous block. This is frustrating.
I clicked on the Edit HTML button, to see if I could do something with that. Too much detail! Although I did add some text to the line way up at the top where I noted that the color text box was still using color text block black, instead of default (i.e. "colorless") black. But I don't want to poke around in the HTML editor too much on my first assignment. Maybe later.

Stupid block quote.

Still want to try missspelling fot the spell schekcer. Three words are underlined in that sentence. Let's see if the spellchecker can find them. Okay, that sentence has a word underlined too! Is it possible spellcheck (one word) is actually spell check (two words)? Let's fire up the spell checker to see. Wow, twelve misspellings in my first blog. Three in this paragraph. Seven font names. Surprisingly enough, the word "bloggers" is not spelled correctly. Nor is the parenthetical (heh) I added after my first link. (double heh)

Running out of time. More later.
