Most blogging software uses Cascading Style Sheets to determine how the font will look throughout the site. You will need to figure out what yours is, but once you do you can use the following command to make font in your posts look like font in your site. You can create a post and enter one of the following codes and put your text in the middle and preview to see what each looks like.

Heading 1 Example

Some are sort of hidden so I thought I would tell you about them….

All of the features below are located in the Forum. You will need to be registered to view them.

Design & Implementation
If you have ever built a blog there has come a point where you had a question about how to do something and couldn’t find the answer. That is what this section is for, to allow you to ask questions and get answers. I am not a coding genius but I can usually figure it out and if I can’t hopefully some other reader will be able to!

Hot Deals
Every day we find great deals and are eager to share them with others. Whenever you find one, post it here so that everyone else can see it and link to your deal!

Link Trading
One of the best ways to build your blog is to start trading links with other blogs. Start a new topic here and start trading links with other bloggers!

Linky Posting
Adding your blog to a linky posting is a great way to get new readers and to build your inventory of back links. Back links help improve your Google rankings and will improve your placement in Google searches. If you are doing a Linky Posting or spot one, post it here!

Affiliate Questions, Concerns, and Advertising
If you have a question or concern about Affiliate/Pay Per Lead programs (including billing questions), post them here. Normally other bloggers have already been through what you are dealing with and can help out. This is also a great place to post your advertising questions!
