The edit box looks different for two reasons. First, it has these new format buttons. Secondly, because I had to sign up to beta test this weblog2 form in order to be able to add those format buttons.
Subject:This is obvious. Enter a title for your blog.
Summary: You may leave this box blank and your blog will appear on the blog page. However, if you have a long blog, write a summary that will intrigue readers to click on the link so that the rest, the body text, will appear.
How to use the buttons: Hey, I don't really know what I'm doing so these buttons don't edit in place. Clicking on a button puts the html code at the end of the text box. Simply highlight the codes and drag them where you'd like them to be.
Bold, Underline, Italics, and Center work the same. You'll get open and close codes. Simply type or paste the text you want formatted between the tags.
color and link work differently. Type a color word such as red or blue between the "" and type the words you want colored between ><.
The linkbutton generates two pop up windows one at a time. Paste or type the location of a webpage into the first. Type the words that will be the hotlink into the second one.
