ok, pity a poor fool who doesn’t know how to make the words get really tiny. i know how to underline, bold and italicize, and i know how to put an address in. but i can’t figure out how to make the letters get really teeny, or how put the link in without actually putting in “www…” i’ve seen people who put in things like the word “here”, it’s in blue, and when you click on it, it takes you someplace else. how do they do that??? i’ve tried everything i can think of, and am currently dancing naked around the computer, shaking feathers and rattles, (which is quite a sight, since i’m at work and if a patient walks in right now…) but i can’t figure it out. will some kind-hearted mod or other highly knowledgable person help me? please??

The small print is also handy for sigs.

There’s a way of [sub][sup]lining up [sub]the text [sub]with nested subs and [sup]sups
