Am a web novice - it's taken me this long to sign up. But David, please note that I am using the markdown thingy so you could have had a fiver off Andy.
You see, the misunderstanding of what markdown actually is vindicates my [initial post](http://www.stroudgreen.org/comments.php?DiscussionID=29&page=1#Item_14) entirely. I'm now going to build a link into how to use it, just to win this fiver. Possibly the worst paid hour of my life but so what.
bloody hell, that is far too complicated! and I like computer geeky stuff (obviously not in quite the same league as you two though).
Why don't you make it like that web thing andy was showing me yesterday where it had the bold and italics as buttons above the comment box (also like moonfruit, which andy says is gay)
OK, so I'm determined to manage to do this.
*So theoretically this should be italics*
**and this should be bold**
If it doesn't work, I'll have to start a new discussion titled 'can anyone teach me how to use markdown?'

Hello Liz, by the way.
I said no-one would use markdown. I said this because it was my assumption that no-one would know what markdown was or how to use it.
the fact that Liz then hits the markdown button, without using any markdown in her post, exactly proves my point.
If you're going to spoonfed people markdown instructions, then I claim that as a moral (and actual) victory.
3 Quick Markdown tips:
1. [this link](http://www.link.com) - makes "this link" go to the desired webpage
2. _this text_ or *this text* - makes the text italicised
3. __this text__ or **this text** - makes the text bold
so tip 4.
to make big text like html h1 tag, just prefix with a hash.
so
#is h1
##is h2
##is h3
and so on

haven't mentioned plum in this post.
I think I should get a fiver
Though well down for correct use of markdown.
For the love of god. How many times?
