5 You do not have to fill in all sections. Any sections left blank will not appear when your web page is viewed. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS I cannot log on or I have forgotten my password: Call Debbie Goldy at dgoldy@montgomery.k12.ky.us I would like to bold, italicize, or underline words or sentences on my page. This is not hard to do it just requires that you add some special symbols called tags to your text. Tags are enclosed with a "<" and ">". 1) the bold tag: the end bold tag: 2) the underline tag: the end underline tag: 3) the italicize tag: the end italicize tag: These are very simple to use. In the sentence: "I need better skills", I can bold the word "better" by enclosing it with bold tags: I need better skills. On the web it will look like this: I need better skills. You will notice the second bold tag has a "/" in front of the "b". That is called an "end tag". Whenever you apply these 3 formatting tags to characters, you enclose them with a "start tag" and an "end tag". The only difference between the two is the slash in the end tag. When you edit the text on your teacher page, simply enclose the words you want to effect with the appropriate start tag and end tag. This might seem complex at first glance, but if you try it a few times, you will find it not much different than adding punctuation. dgoldy@montgomery.k12.ky.us 5 of 5 August 1, 2005
