Trying this again

After seeing the previous post, it looks like some changes happened that I don't understand. So I thought I'd try to do the same things again.

Testing the fonts:

• This is Font (the default/first in the list)
• This is Arial
• This is Courier
• This is Georgia
• This is Lucinda Grande
• This is Times
• This is Trebuchet
• This is Verdana
• This is Webdings (supposedly-- it looked a lot different when I tried it at home on my Macintosh)

Testing the font sizes (all in Font)

• This is smallest.
• This is small.
• This is normal.
• This is large.
• This is largest.

And by the time I got to the end of the list, I noticed I was back in "Arial." But this line still says "Font." So I guess all the types sizes aren't available in "Font." Well, that bites.

This is bold using "Font" in normal size.
This is italic using "Font" in normal size.
This is a test of the colors, but there was a problem in the italic test because it was still bold, after I though I had turned it off. Seems to take some getting used to. Anyway, colors, RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO, and VIOLET (to my color-name challenged eyes).

Here's a link to Linkcat.

Here it text that's:
Left aligned.

Centered.

Right aligned.

And Justify Full. (Which doesn't seem to do anything, at least with a short block of text).

Here are numbers again.

1. One.
2. Two.
3. Three.

Here are more bullets, even though I used them with the font and size tests above.

• Bullet 1
• Bullet 2
• Bullet 3
• Bullet 4

Here's a block of text that I clipped from an amazon.com summary:

Let ME tell you a story about a girl on Long Island, who always tried to play life by "the rules" - as outlined in the Secret Handbook of Long Island Rules.... That girl, uh, woman, is me, Teddi Gallo. I'm the mother of three kids under the age of eleven, best friend to Bobbie (who denies there's any such thing as a secret handbook, but who knows all the moves by heart) and the daughter of June (who has inside info on the rules, but has a reserved room at South Winds Psychiatric Hospital, as well). And if I don't have enough to send me over the edge, my too-handsome-for-his-own-good husband seems determined to drive me crazy. But why? This is the tale of how I had to rewrite that old, dusty handbook - and while doing so, I suddenly discovered the secret to happiness was living by your own rules. And that has made everything different.

No word-wrap on the hyphenated text, I see.

Spellchecking and Spell checking seem to be okay but Schpelllchecking should be a problem.

I'm attempting to add a photo file from my computer next. Nothing seems to be happening. I don't have any video files so I won't bother trying that.

Time to check out the "Preview" button. Well, there seem to be all kinds of changes with fonts and text sizes that aren't apparent when I look at my post while composing. So the HTML fairies are drunk, or just mean bastards trying to make me look like a fool.

Let's try that "Preview" one more time.

Nope. It looks like the "Font size" is going crazy. The five sizes look to be four small sizes and one big size. And the subsequent text, even though it looks normal in my "Compose" layout, seems to be using a large font size right through the Colors, Create a Link, and Alignment tests. Hmm. I tried them in the default "Font". Let me try them again by cutting and pasting below, then using a different font.

Testing the font sizes (all in Arial)

• This is smallest.
• This is small.
• This is normal.
• This is large.
• This is largest.

Testing the font sizes (all in Courier)

• This is smallest.
• This is small.
• This is normal.
• This is large.
• This is largest.

Testing the font sizes (all in Times)

• This is smallest.
• This is small.
• This is normal.
• This is large.
• This is largest.

So this doesn't seem to be working out as well as I had hoped (i.e. doing what I want it to do).

So I'll try again later.
