BIRTHDAY GREETINGS / How to do it

[grove]

Hello Every body , On the last Birthday greeting ( Grannie G ) i put a Post as i normally do

However a lot of T P'ers i noticed put "Very Posh Ones Up " Greetings in Pink & even Ballons etc ! ! ! & thought how much nicer it looked than normal black

Qustion Please : How do you do it ? am not very techinal on my P C can only do easy stuff ! My P C is Windows 7 & have found a nice Computer Man who helps me but he charges £25 is that reasonable think he stayed for Half - Hour

Best Wishes

Love Grove x x

Hi Grove:
Before you start the technical bit about adding images etc. I suggest you just go to Reply, then see the buttons showing 'A' where you can change the colour. Alongside that button is font size and I suggest 5 or 6. Then type in your message and it should come out bold and bright.

Once you have mastered that I am sure others will come along with how to find/save/insert the birthday pics.

Best wishes

[ COLOR="Red"][SIZE="5" ]you have to type here[/SIZE ][/COLOR ]

or you will just get this.

I put a spaces in so that it wouldn't work and you could see how it looked and where you needed to type.

Hi
When you have clicked on the colour you want, make sure the A has a line of your colour choice undreneath it , hope this helps
Just keep practicing,

Just try colours at first, then go on to other things

 

[BeckyJan]

Just changed it for you!!!

Now edit this and try to do the same! Go to the A button above click on the appropriate colour, then move to Size and change it.

let's try now

Oh that's fab!

 

[Bastan]

thank you, thank you thank you!!!

 

[BeckyJan]

Thats great Bastan.
Why not try inserting a pic now

When you save a pic in your pictures file, make sure it is a normal size ie. 6" x 4" (I usually reduce in Paint by about 24%).

Then click 'manage attachments' when I box appears to browse and find your pic, click upload and its title should appear in the box. Try preview to make sure it works.

Its a bit early in the morning for me to be typing these instructions but I hope it works.

I hope Grove is still trying to do the Birthday Greetings in colour - will check later!

You've got me at it now!

 

[Saffie]

Why won't this work - it says colour "Red" and size"4" but comes out normal!

 

[sue38]

It should look like this - make sure you keep the words in square brackets

Try this way, Saffie, which is very easy:

1. Type

Happy Birthday

2. Select that text so that it's highlighted.

3. While the text is still selected, click on the down arrow beside the A and choose your colour.

4. Don't click off, but leave the words Happy Birthday still highlighted and surrounded by one set of square brackets. Then just click on the down arrow beside Size, choose your size, and your Happy Birthday will be surrounded by two sets of square brackets.

Click off!!

5. Preview Post!
