Hey Pamela! Good to hear from someone in the same boat. The computer man cometh tomorrow, so maybe I'll ask him what I'm doing wrong with the MSN instant message thing... Going to bed now.
Okay so I'm going to give you a LiveJournal lesson, just like I would have needed one a few months ago. You could learn all this by yourself, but why not skip the part when you wonder how to do this or that?
Imagine that all the stars (*) don't exist.
When you want to italicize a part of your text you do this:
<*i> Text you want to italicize
When you want to bold your text:
Text you want to be bold
When you want to put a username, like jolietjones:
<*lj user="username">
When you want to link to another page, like PBfic.net:
When you want to put an LJ cut (when your entry is too long or contains spoilers, you put a cut so that people have to click the link to see the rest of the thread):
Can't believe you went to all that trouble. Thanks so much. All I need now is some peace and quiet around here so I can experiment with it all. That ain't happening this week sadly - too many people around wanting to use the computer.
thanks for the welcome. I just read your fic for Pam - great stuff. Need to re-read though as am in too much of a hurry at the moment. Computer time limited...Gah! *bites nails*

I'm in a bit of a PB desert here in Worcestershire too....no one to chat to and obsess about Michael and the others and Season 3 and all the rest..
So try and sort out MSN or something so we can chat! We Brits need to support each other through this hiatus.
Take care talk soon!
