    Introduction

    I am here to help you make your posts sexier and more owo. So, I hope you will enjoy it! :) This is a compressed version of [GUIDE:] Your Posts, Now Sexier.


    Guide
    The subtitle will show how the font looks like. An image of the button is next; an explanation and example in context helps clarify usage, and after all that, the code of the example shown above.


    Bold Text

    [​IMG]


    Bold is usually used for guide titles, subtitles, and emphasis. It is often combined with italics and/or underline.


    Example: NOT


    Example Code:
    Code (Text):
    1. [b]NOT[/b]




    Italic Text

    [​IMG]


    Italics are mainly used for emphasis often combined with bold and/or underline. Also, to be grammatically correct, italics are used for complete works that are published separately.



    Example: Harry Potter Book Four: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire


    Example Code:
    Code (Text):
    1. [i]Harry Potter Book Four: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire[/i]




    Underline Text

    [​IMG]


    Underlining is mainly used for emphasis often combined with bold and/or italics.


    Example: WITH THE EXCEPTION OF


    Example Code:
    Code (Text):
    1.  
    2. [u]WITH THE EXCEPTION OF[/u]




    Image 1: [​IMG]

    Image 2: [​IMG]



    Quoting is usually for talking to another person that posted in a thread. Image 2 shows you that you can quote someone, but if you use Image 1, you can make anyone say anything!! Sometimes, you want to quote a newspaper, CNN, or something for information. That can all be done with the [​IMG] button.


    Example 1:
    Example 2:

    Example 1 Code:
    Code (Text):
    1. [quote]This is a regular quote without a specified writer.[/quote]

    Example 2 Code:
    Code (Text):
    1. [quote="Bobby"]This has a writer called Bobby.  Don't forget that in the first quote box tag, you have to put ="Writer"[/quote]




    Code (Text):
    1. Codes


    Codes tags are used to wrap around codes. Pretty simple ;).



    Example:
    Code (Text):
    1. This is a code. Yay.


    Example Code:
    Code (Text):
    1. [code]This is a code. Yay.
    [/code]




    • Lists


    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]


    Here is one of the more complicated things to make your post sexier. :yup:


    Example 1:
    • Here is a regular list using this [​IMG] button.
    • Use the [​IMG] (add element) button to add a bullet. It auto-adds it on another line.



    Example 2:
    • Here is a list with capital letter "bullets".
    • To get this, click the [​IMG] button. After that, put any capital letter of the alphabet to get capital letter "bullets".
    • It auto-adds a period after the capital letter for a sexier, neater look :D.



    Example 3:
    • Here is a list with lowercase letter "bullets".
    • To get this, click the [​IMG] button. After that, put any lowercase letter of the alphabet to get the lowercase letter "bullets".
    • It auto-adds a period after the lowercase letter for a sexier, neater look :yup:.



    Example 4:
    1. Here is a list with number "bullets".
    2. To get this, click the [​IMG] button. After that, put any number to get the number "bullets".
    3. It auto-adds a period after the number for a sexier, neater look :yup:.




    Example 1 Code:
    Code (Text):
    1. [list][*]Here is a regular list using this [img]http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/qq268/lightningstalon/Picture3-2.png[/img] button.

    Images


    [​IMG]


    Images are usually found in guides or posts involving, needing, or requesting images, photography, and/or pictures. You just click the [​IMG] button, and you type/copy & paste your image URL in between the two image tags.


    Example:[​IMG]


    Example Code:
    Code (Text):
    1. [img]http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif[/img]




    Hyperlinks

    [​IMG]


    Hyperlinks are used to redirect other users to other sites, but be aware that there are untrusted members that want to steal your passwords. Be sure to report such activity to moderators. Most links are for good causes, like those that are in guides.


    Example 1: http://www.neofriends.net/member/Lightning/


    Example 2: My Profile (Lightning) Remember in first tag if you want this, "url=*URL HERE*"


    Example 1 Code:
    Code (Text):
    1. [url]http://www.neofriends.net/member/Lightning/[/url]

    Example 2 Code:

    1. [url=http://www.neofriends.net/member/Lightning/]My Profile (Lightningstalon) Remember in first tag if you want this, "url=*URL HERE*"[/url]




    Font Size


    A - Tiny
    A - Small
    A - Normal (Default)
    A - Large
    A - Huge


    [​IMG]


    Font size variation is something that provides a lot or very little of emphasis. The bigger, the more attention, the smaller the less attention.


    Example:

    Title

    Subtitle

    Information

    Small Tip:

    Joke


    Example Code:
    Code (Text):
    1.

    3.  
    4. [size=150]Subtitle[/size]
    5.  
    6. Information
    7.  
    8. [size=85]Small Tip:[/size]
    9.  
    10. [size=50]Joke[/size]




    Text Positioning


    Text positioning is something that comforts or discomforts your reader's eyes. Obviously, you want your reader to be comfortable reading your post, don't you?



    Example:
    Left (Normal Default)

    [justify]Justify (Every line is the same length)[/color][​IMG][/justify]
    Center (Good for Guides)[​IMG]

    Right[​IMG]


    Example Code:
    Code (Text):
    1. Left (Normal Default)
    2.  
    3. [Justify]Justify (Every line is the same length)[/Justify]
    4.  
    5. [Center]Center (Good for Guides)[/Center]
    6.  
    7. [Right]Right[/Right]





    [customtable=Tables]Tables[/customtable]


    [​IMG]


    Tables are just like a little text box that you can enter a title, information in.


    Example:
    [customtable=For Title, put your title after the = sign]This is a wonderful table that I created.
    Color them, etc.[/customtable]


    Example Code:
    Code (Text):
    1.  
    2. [customtable=For Title, put your title after the = sign]This is a wonderful table that I created.
    3. Color them, etc.[/customtable]




    Spoilers



    [​IMG]


    Spoilers are usually either for fun, or they are for compressing information.


    Example:
    Do you like my guide?


    Example Code:
    Code (Text):
    1. [b]Example:[/b] [Spoiler]Do you like my guide?[/Spoiler]



    Album Images

    [​IMG]


    Album tags are used for inserting an image from the album. To insert an image, click [​IMG] and enter the BBcode between the two tags.


    Example: [album]12[/album]


    Example Code:
    Code (Text):
    1. [album]12[/album]




    Fitboxes

    [​IMG]


    A fitbox is a box with a scrollbar of 300px in height. It is useful for putting long stuff in.


    Example (Dr. Martin Luther King's I Have A Dream speech):
    [fitbox]I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

    Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

    But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

    In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."

    But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.

    We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.

    It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

    But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.

    The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.

    We cannot walk alone.

    And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.

    We cannot turn back.

    There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating: "For Whites Only." We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."¹


    I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.

    Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.

    And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

    I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

    I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

    I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

    I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

    I have a dream today!

    I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

    I have a dream today!

    I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."

    This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.

    With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

    And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:

    My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.

    Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,

    From every mountainside, let freedom ring!

    And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.

    And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.

    Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.

    Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.

    Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.

    Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.

    But not only that:

    Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.

    Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.

    Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.

    From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

    And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:

    Free at last! Free at last!

    Thank God Almighty, we are free at last![/fitbox]

    I liked that version cause I don't like opening spoilers :(.

    This one, I have to open too many spoilers so I wanted to keep both :).

    Mods, are one of these sexy enough for sticky? ;)
