How to ADD IMAGE/PICTURE with your post

When you are making a post and want to add a image, click on the IMG button as shown in the picture above.

It should look like this:
[img] when you first click it once. Then add the url of the image you want. And in order for the image to load, you must close the code. The asterix shown next to the IMG button means you have to click it one more time to close it. It should look like this--> [/img]

However, to make life easier for all of us. you can just copy the IMG Code directly from the image hosting website like tinypic.com or photobucket.com and paste the code here.

How to Reply with QUOTE

Sometimes we want to comment on a poster's remark but we don't want to quote her entire post. This is what you can do.

When you reply to a post, you can scroll down and see the topic review. Right-click your mouse and drag to mark the sentence you want to respond to. Then click 'Copy'.

Next, click on the 'Quote' button. Sample picture below:

The first code will appear (just like IMG Tutorial) like this:
[quote]

I usually like to reply to several comments from different posters in one post, so I will add their name above the quote. Like this:

heavenstarzz:
[quote]

then all I need to do is 'PASTE' the sentence heavenstarzz has made next to the QUOTE 'code' and then close the code by clicking on the QUOTE button one more time. It should look like this:

How to ADD A LINK to a WEBSITE

Sometimes when you post, you want posters to click on a link, for example to your blog. So you will copy the url of your blog and paste it here like this:

http://theallstarsclub.blogspot.com/

However sometimes the link is extremely long and it looks really ugly with the blue underline thingy, so you want to make it shorter. Here is what you do. As previous tutorials have shown you, the menu bar comes pretty handy. So click on 'URL' button.

01- It should look like this:
[url]

02- Then I will add the url of my blog like this:
[url=http://theallstarsclub.blogspot.com/]

03- You just need to add in the first code:
[url=http://theallstarsclub.blogspot.com/]

04- Now, I want posters not to see the url code of my blog but the title of my blog. It's CYBER GiRL, so I will type that next to the code. You can type CLICK HERE, VISIT ME, VOTE FOR ME HERE, etc. Mine would be looking like this:
