Thanks for the assist, Ill give it a try... in the meantime, I'm having difficulty installing an avatar: can't seem to shrink the image using the editing tools on this computer to 60 X 60 pixels without serious distortion. Is there another way I can send in an image? Sorry to be limping along like this, but I'm new to all this tech stuff, just crawlled out of the swamp recently, technologically speaking...

No thing

During my life I have acquired …. things; bought, found, scrounged and salvaged, collected, stored and admired them: used, unused, rusting, dusty or clean.

My material wealth (meager to some, riches to others) clouds the issue: I will die with nothing. I am alive with nothing.

These things are not me; we share space but not life. Life is different, it is no thing.

Here I'll do a test message.

Okay, that looked fine.... I just went into your post to see what's up... and looks like instead of RETURN for line-break you had a bunch of spaces. Those spaces misaligned everything. So that explains it... yeah just start a new line by hitting RETURN and it should work. I fixed it for you in your post. There's currently no "center" function, but I'll look for a plugin that will allow that.

Thanks SiriArk, I'll see how it goes. Also I'm seeing that my avatar isn't showing up. Any help, anybody?

JanZenJan,

Yaaarrrr Matey,

In this Zone, posts are Composed on MS Word Processor, then Pasted to the N R posting slot.

Also useful:

At the top of each page, YOU see Help which provides all the BB Code that can be applied.

Here, all those Codes and the various ‘Nested Tags’ are saved on a MS Word Processor page, kept on the ‘DeskTop’ for easy access.......

Don't know if this is the right place to talk about this, but when I compose a message, get it all layed out nicely, when I post it, it is not necessarily layed out the same. How can I do it properly? This message for instance: as I'm setting it ip, it's all together as in a poem or loose paragraph. In the preview it's scattered around, and in the posted message...? Even better than I laid it out! I can't win and I can't lose! (glad I'm non-competitive)

Wordwork

It’s way past my bedtime (too much coffee too late – I’ll spin my wheels and burn this candle at both ends),
pencil and eraser shrinking from the onslaught of thoughts, words, revisions.
Who knows what may come up if I keep flogging this horse, dying though it is?
There is always hope for a last minute reprieve.
Only destined for sleep, even now I can dream.
