Excellent! I have found out how to put smilies into the text. You go to www.smilies.nl , click on the smilie you want and copy the address over. You stick pointy brackets on the end, get rid of the square ones and add src="....." around the address. Wow man, I'm so chuffed. I reckon we should keep this one (offline tho) for reference. I need to learn how to embed links into the text now. I feel like such a pleb for not knowing these things! Oh well, learning is fun.
Speak soon.

PS oh my god I did it! These links lead to the site where I got the smilies. I can do links! I can do links!!!
