Vinny, the problem is that not everyone on the planet is a computer wiz!:) I am a classic example:)! Notice, I never use multiple story highlights:)! There's a reason for that:)! I still can't figure it out, and this is with instruction from the "wizards":)!

Rhonda, the simple way, as Zichi noted, is just to paste in the code. I'll break it down.

1. Copy this:

[q url=""]

[/q]

2. Save it.

If you're having trouble making the NP Highlighter work, just use these commands like this:

3. Paste them into an open NP editing window--you can even use the "create story" link.

4. where it says url-" "    you paste in the URL, the address, of the page you're getting your info from. You do that by copying the URL from the address section of your browser.

5. Copy  a couple of paragraphs from the story.

6. Paste them in between the sets of brackets.

7. Add your own commentary outside the stuff contained between the sets of brackets.

Here's what it looks like:

I'm a potato chip addict, although I ration myself severely. I don't quite believe that those little snackables can be made all that healthy--after all, they're basically salt, grease and fried stuff. You know, basic food groups for the snack addicts.

And here's the actual product. I just slapped that story up there so you could take a look at it.

You can easily do multiple highlights by simply pasting in those little bits of code then filling in the web address between the " " and putting text in between the two sets of brackets.

Hope this helps.

Hi GHos7, if you're highlight an excerpt and then adding your own commentary outside that box, you're doing the right thing. If you highlight the entire article, you're not.  Does that help? :)

In order to do hyperlinking when one word or a phrase is actually a link to another page or photo etc, is to type the word, for example 'here'.

Then highlight the word as if you are going to copy it and click on the button in the toolbar above that looks like a sideways 8.

A box will pop up that allows you to paste a link in there and then hit 'ok' and then that word 'here' is now a hyperlink to a different page.

If you need to change or break the link, you just highlight the word or phrase again and click on the broken sideways 8 beside the original button.

So for example:

amyjudd

Does that help Rhonda?

You need to add the word "here" first and then add the link to the word by right clicking the mouse to highlight the word "here" then use the link function on the tool bar to add the link.

That link works fine Rhonda you seem to have the hang of it now!

Anytime.
