http://groups.msn.com/ChristiansCaringandSharing First, please do not reply to a post from an email message unless necessary. Go to the board to post. That way all the "email junk" will not show up on the message board. Once on the main page click on Message Boards on the left side of the page.
Now you will see "Multiple Message Boards". Notice at the top you can select to View Discussions Only or Discussions and Replies. If you select Discussions Only, the topics of posts will show with the latest message posted at the top of the page. If you select Discussions and Replies, all posts will show with the latest message at the bottom of the page. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you can select to "View All Message Boards At Once".
Select the board you want to post on or the post you want to reply to, then click on New Discussion. (If you have a popup stopper, you will need to hold down the Cntrl key so the page will come up.) Now enter your subject and type your message in the box.
The icons across the top of the New Discussion page will let you select various features like copy, paste, font size, style, and color ("A"). Highlight your message by holding down your mouse and run it over your message from the first letter to the last letter or period. Now make your selections. Remove the highlight when finished by clicking in a blank area.
The little icon that looks like an envelope is what you click on to add graphics either from the MSN selections or from your own computer. On the right side you can select left, center, or right page margins. That will position where you want your graphic or message.
If you have questions or need more help, let me know. Good luck!
