How can i insert a picture?
I want to do a table, show me how.
How can I make the text bold?
A lot of questions are still being asked by newbies. As a community that is fully into recruitment and mentoring, we have to explain any changes to the platform to our newbies. Many of them are already getting discouraged becaused they cannot figure out how everything changed suddenly. but we have assured them that the change is for good.
So in this tutorial, I will explain how to use 5 of the formatting features we have in the new compose post page.
How to Insert a link
- Put the cursor exactly where you want the link to appear.
- Click the icon labelled 1 in the picture below:
- In the new window that opens, enter the Address of the site you want to link in the first box, and the text that will be clicked in the second box. Then click "Enter" to finish up.
The Click Here then becomes a link pointing to the web address in the first box.
How to Insert Pictures
- Place your cursor exactly where you want the image to appear.
- Click the icon labelled 2 in the image below:
- Select the image from gallery and hit Ok. Image would be inserted in the position of the cursor.
How to Insert tables
- Place your cursor exactly where you want the table to appear.
- Click the icon labelled 3 in the image below:
- In the new window that opens, enter the number of rows and columns for the new table. Also choose the alightment style - Justified, left, center, or right. check image below.
- Hit Enter to create the table.
How to make a text Bold
- Select the text you want to make bold.
- Click the icon labelled 4 in the image below:
The selected text will become bold.
How to Insert the Headings
The headings make your text bold and bigger than the defualt size. There are 6 headings - H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6. Each heading size from H1 is bigger than the next.
To make a line of text heading,
- Put the cursor in front of the text and click any of H1 to H6 to make the text a heading text. H1 is the biggest in size and H6 is the smallest.
Conclusion
I hope the tutorial will help newbies use the new features of our compose post window. Like I said earlier, they are easier than using codes if we master them.
I will complete the next features in my later post.
