I've been looking around PMC, and I have noticed that some people don't seem to know some features of PMC blogs. I know I could've used a blog like this when I first joined! I couldn't find any, so here we go!

Technique #1(Level: Are you kidding me, you stupid frog?): Bold, Italic, underline, strike through, colored text, and Highlight. I don't really need to cover these, and I won't go into detail. You click da buttons. Da effect happens. The end.

Technique #2 (Level: Obvious): Text alignment. Again, pretty intuitive. It's which part of the screen you want the words to be on. Left, they all start at the left. Center, it makes the text be in the center. Right makes the text all end against the right side.

Technique #3 (Level: Intermediate): Spoilers.
I see a lot of people skip spoilers where they should really have them. If you have a long swath of text unrelated to a blog, or a series of photos, or example photos, you should try out a spoiler, and see if it works. They can definitely come in handy. To create one, click the button above that looks like a stamp. It is to the right of text alignment, and to the left of YouTube embed code. Enter your spoiler title. Then enter the contents in the little box that appears.

Technique #4 (Level: Really? -_-): Font size. It chages the letter size. Nothing much to understand really. You click the dropdown menu and choose a size.

Technique #5 (level: Unused): The horizontal rule creates a line that seperates text. You don't see it very often. Just click the button, and this will appear.


Technique #6 (level: Useful!): Inserting an image. This is perhaps the most useful function. You can insert any image, but you need an image hosting site. Go to www.imgur.com and make an account. You can then upload images, and copy the share link. It is "Direct link" That you want. Then, click the image box and paste the URL into it. The picture will appear.

Ermagherd, a llama!

Technique #7 (Level: Click to find out!): Hyperlink. A hyperlink adds clickable text that brings you to another URL. Or the same URL, for trolls. Ton add a hyperlink, highlight some text and click the hyperlink button. Then put the URL into the box it gives you. To get rid of a hyperlink, click the Remove Hyperlink button, while having the hyperlink highlited.

Technique #8 (Level: Bullet dodge) To add bullets and numbered lists, click the buttons that add them. Basically, at every line break it will add a bullet or sequential number.

  • This,
  • See?
  1. Or
  2. Like
  3. This!
Technique #9 (Level: You choose!): To add different fonts, you can insert a picture with the font in it.

Or You could do this!



Or This!

Or This!
As you can see, custom fonts are cool. To add them, simply write the sentence in another text editing software (Like Microsoft Word) with the font, and copy it into the text field.

Technique #10 (Level: Not sure, lemme test it.) Previewing. To preview your blog, just untick the "Publish live" box at the top of the page. You can then look at the final result of your blog before you post it! This is useful to see how something will look, or if everything worked right.

Technique #11 (Level: Corgi Bowling): Choosing the right picture. Tip #1: You NEED a picture. I don't care what you say, you need one. Tip #2: The picture has to be relevant to the blog. Tip 3: Try customizing the picture yourself. It can help. Tip #4 Make sure the file size is below 5 MB. Tip #5 The picture should make you want to read the blog. Don't make it boring. If it's text, use a background. If it's not text, use a background. If it's a background, use a background.

That's all I got for you! If you already knew these, sorry. It's mainly for the people who are new to PMC, so they can get a good headstart. Either way, I hope you enjoyed it, and as always:
