HELPFUL INFORMATION!!! :)

How do I put a picture in my signature?

     Upload your picture to a web-hosting site.  Photobucket works the best.  Choose the direct link to the picture. You will know you have the direct link because it will end in .jpg (or other picture file).  Another way to verify is to right click on the picture and go down to properties to see the URL.

     Then go to www.tinyurl.com or www.snipurl.com to make your URLs small. 

     Use this code for your signature:  <img src*="YOUR TINY URL HERE" width="180px">  Take out the * and then you can change the size of the picture by adjusting the "180" up or down.  Make sure the URL is not bold.

   ***Please keep the size reasonable***

How do I post a picture in my post?

     Use the above directions for uploading and making the tinyurl. 

     Use this code for the post:  [img]YOUR TINY URL HERE[*/img]  Take out the *

How do I make a bio?

     I like weebly.com!!

How do I link my bio in my signature?

     Make the URL to your bio short by using tinyurl or snipurl. 

     Use this code for a clickable link in your signature (take out the *): 

     <a target="_blank" href*="YOUR TINYURL HERE">My Bio</a>

How do I find out how many posts I have?

     Scroll down to the bottom of the message board.  Enter your screen name into the box that says "search message boards".  Use the drop down menu to select "find knottie / nestie bio" and hit Go.

How do I make the URL in my post clickable?

     The easiest way is to hit space and/or enter after the link.  The code to make it clickable is:

     [url]YOUR URL HERE[*/url]   (with the * removed).

***A reminder of the Knottie Rules***






THE KNOT COMMUNITY RULES:
The Knot Community, including message boards, wedding web pages, blogs, photo galleries, and bios, have been created to provide a forum for Knot members to share their wedding-related experiences, ideas, and questions with one another. We encourage expression and discussion. However, in order to keep balance and order within the Community, online behavior requires common sense and basic etiquette. Accordingly, here are some rules that you agree to follow:

  • No strong, vulgar, obscene, or otherwise harmful language.
  • No racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable language.
  • No posting of pornographic or obscene images.
  • No harassing, intimidating, stalking, or threatening other community members.
  • No libelous, defamatory, or otherwise tortious language.
  • No online vandalism. This includes using abusive language and repeatedly hitting the return key in the chat room, or otherwise acting in a manner that negatively impacts the ability of others to engage in real time exchanges.
  • No impersonating any person, including, but not limited to, other community members or employees of The Knot.
