Fulltext Section Box Tools

The 'Fulltext' section area, has extra tools and features for when you come to write your blog. If you place your mouse over each icon it will display each usage. You are able to stylize the text with bold, italic and strike throughs. You can bullet mark lists as well as place them into numerical order. The text can be displayed left, right or centre.

If you have relevant HTML knowledge you can click on the 'HTML' icon and that will will open the 'HTML Soure Editor'. Otherwise, all you need to do is simply start writing your blog entry within the 'Fulltext' section area.

Adding Images and Presentation

There is one icon left on the 'Fulltext' tools bar that we have not yet mentioned and that is the 'Insert/Edit Image'. You are able to add images onto your blog entry by using this image icon. This will open the 'Insert/Edit Image' editor and allow you to locate an image already on the web and position it within your blog by adding the image location URL. This is useful if wanting to attach and image already on the web. But if you are looking to create your blog with your own images, you can upload them using the 'Image/Files' section.
