Basic HTML for Posting (plain editor)
NEW NOTE: This stuff works in the plain editor, not the fancy new one. You can switch to the plain text editor by clicking the link below the fancy new editor.
Quick note, in order to make the tags inactive and display the syntax, remove all ^ from the text when trying this yourself.Syntax can now be used "as is" thanks to a contributor to this post.
Images: (Note, you can remove the [], just keep the "" for the URL) Standard: <img src="[URL GOES HERE]"/> Resized: <img src="[URL GOES HERE]" width="#" height="#"/> Where width and height can be altered in two ways. One is to explicitly set the size in pixels. Use width="100px" height="100px" to resize the image to 100x100. Or, use width="50%" height="50%" to resize the image to 50% of original size.
Youtube: Copy and paste the code from the specific youtube video page. On the right of the screen, under the user info, there is typically 2 boxes. URL and Embed. If you click in the Embed text box all the text should highlight. Just copy paste that here and it will work. I searched "youtube embed circle" and this is the first image result:
Links: <a href="[URL GOES HERE]">[Whatever you want the link to appear as goes here]</a> Example: Whatever you want the link to appear as goes here
From BlueDurham on linking: For another post of ShockFX's in a diary it would be: http://mgoblog.com/diaries/state-recruiting#comment-125774 The comment number can be found in the address if you hit the reply button for a specific post - its the last number of the address. To direct to a specific comment in a board [or one of Brian's articles (labeled story)], again another of ShockFX's past comments: http://mgoblog.com/content/thumbs-new-point-system#comment-125573 To type something but not have it link or do the HTML thing bracket it with "<" and ">" For example, the link to this post is: <http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/basic-html-posting> = <http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/basic-html-posting>
More from BlueDurham: To "Marquee" text: <marquee>The text</marquee> shows: You can do multiple things at once: To put blinking small italicized text into a yellow box: <blockquote><blink><small><i>The text</i></small></blink></blockquote> shows:
Yeah, I know, this comment is quite obnoxious with all of the stuff going on.
Yet more from BlueDurham:
arrows:
& followed by rarr; (right arrow, →), larr; (←), uarr; (↑), darr; (↓), harr; (↔), capitalize the A in the above gives you a double arrow, e.g. rArr; (⇒), and crarr; (↵).
subscript:
<sub>2</sub> shows up as 2
similarly, superscript is <sup>2</sup> shows up as 2
strike through
<strike>word</strike> gives word
Bringing it all together - something near and dear to all most of our hearts, the crucial process of fermentation is shown below:

To type something but not have it link or do the HTML thing bracket it with "<" and ">" For example, the link to this post is: "<"http://mgoblog.com/content/basic-html-posting/> = <http://mgoblog.com/content/basic-html-posting/>The slash (see blink) will show up as a literal if it is included; the example chosen ends with a slash and so this error is not immediately evident. I propose this correction:
bracket it with "<" and ">"ShockFX: I initially ran into a brick wall trying to get "<," etc., to show up as a literal. Thank for your earlier hint about right-clicking and selecting "View Page Source." 2nd Edit: For curiosity, I tried the link
<http://mgoblog.com/content/basic-html-posting/>from the example above; it doesn't work with the slash on the end ("Page Not Found" message).

The DB never spoke with UM football coaches during the recruiting process - he wasn't even on Miami's radar until after signing day. That's when Cane coaches called his school to inquire why he never signed with West Virginia. After that they turned his recruitment over to track coordinator Amy Deem; Anderson said the Canes had no football scholarship to offer him. Anderson...has personal best times of 11.26 seconds in the 100, 21.54 seconds in the 200 and 50.03 seconds in the 400. The track scholarship will convert over to football as soon as he plays in a game for the Canes.
I read this off a link from Brice's recruiting page. Looks like Miami oversigned Latwan with a track scholarship that will convert as soon as he plays a game. I assume that allows him to go into the 2012 class or later. Interesting recruiting tactic. Can he workout with the Football team in the meantime?
Have an opinion...come on...

I too had some trouble adjusting to the new editor. If you switch to "plain text editor" or click the "source" button, you can use the same html tags you're all used to.
[Youtube:p7w64fbqYQY]
When you go to embed a youtube, click "Switch to plain text editor" right below the comment box. Then paste your embed stuff.
Is there an echo in here?
OMG we have our own We are ND
I would rather listen to this one any day.
This is just a test, Thank you for your patience
Michigan will kick OSU's ass this year!
this was only a test
