Am looking to make a page of tips/tricks/guides/how to/links for help on how to edit content on the site.
the goal is to give people who are less savy and possibly the new members a brief run down on what they can do with the site and their posts.

If you know of how to do something special on the site, please add it to the list below.
I am giving away 20 Svalbards to each to the adder per item added.

here is an example of some Formatting hints/tips/guides/howto

Bold

Issue: How to make text bold.
Description:To make text BOLD you must add an asterix (*) at the start and finish of the text you wish to bold.
Example: This text is now BOLD would look like: ‘AsterixThis text is now boldAsterix’ (note the no spaces between the * characters and the start and end text)

Adding a picture

Issue: how do I add a picture into the site?
Description To add a photo/picture to your blog, comment etc you 1st need a flickr account, which is free. If you dont already have one you can get one here
You will need a Yahoo ID, if you dont already have one of those you can get one of those here
Once you have a login and can access flickr, upload your photos as per the normal flickr process.
Now once you have uploaded the pictures, flickr will assign a flickr ID number to the picture.
To insert the picture use the flickr ID in this format: flickr-photo:id=INSERT NUMBER HERE,size=INSERT SIZE CODE this code should start and finish with [ and ]
You must pick a size code from those offered from flickr: Size codes are ‘s’ for ‘Square’, ‘t’ for tumbnail, ‘m’ for ‘small’ and ‘o’ for large. for medium remove the ,size= from behind the flickr id number
Example: looks like ‘BRACKETflickr-photo:id=IDNUMBER,size=SizecodeBRACKET’ (remember to insert [ and ] in place of the BRACKET)

_{mini text}
Issue: how to make text smaller… like _this
Description: to make text smaller and make captions for example put the tilde sign(~) at the start and end of the text you desire to look small
Example: _{this is mini text} would look like TILDEthis is mini textTILDE

Headings
Issue: how to i make text larger to create a heading1
