Nice. Thanks!

I just make a document using Apache or Libre Open Office, and use tables and do formatting and create links (Insert function or a keyboard shortcut you can make) and save the document as html and open it locally in a browser. That is how I made pages for our web site, http://www.peacebyjesus.net thanks be to God.

And for Firefox I use the Cynwoody Free Republic Posting Form Enhancer

And BBcodeXtra Firefox extension for posting also (bbCodeWebex for Quantum).

Hey Daniel, I was just about to tell you that I couldn’t figure out how it works, but I now see that by signing up for the Firefox add-in, it puts the controls above the Your Reply box. Pretty handy.

Hey daniel, I tried the FR HTML enhancer add-on to Firefox.

I think it’s great for people not familiar with HTML. But for me, it didn’t help.

But it was interesting seeing how a browser can insert commands on top of a webpage page form.

Thanks, Steven. In the months since I posted this, I have been using this Google/Duckduckgo homepage.

What I have discovered is that Duckduckgo is a far inferior search engine to Google. And one reason for that is Duckduckgo needs to make money and so they are much less likely to send you to the best sites because they need to send you to a money making site for them.

The other aspect of this is being able to ask questions in the search bar is a Google strong point. Duckduckgo is a poor replacement for that.
