Quick techie question:

How do you place a clipped quote from an article into that nice gray box that makes it so neatly easy to read? An html thing?

These 'puter things just mix me up. Thanks!

When you click reply, click the link that says "HTML lookup table" And pick the choice that says:

"Create a styled, indented blockquote (useful for posting excerpts from articles)"...I know it's not grey, but is this what you mean?

<div class="excerpt"]TextPut your quote where the word 'Text' appears. I had to change the brackets on the beginning and end to the pointy ones so it wouldn't block quote. They'll be square in the real world, on this site. Most html uses the <> brackets...

That's how the ending was supposed to look x(
