PLEH!!!

Can anyone explain to me how to post stuff at SSA so that my stories will look less like a baby chimpanzee posted for me? No matter what I do, it always looks wonky and semi-literate and I swear, I can *not* figure out the ital business there. *pout*

And by the way, happy Saturday.
I'm cleaning house, finally putting away Christmas stuff, and dusting--oy, so much dusting.

I did get to watch Avatar and Zuko is breaking my heart, big stupid monkey. *wipes tear* How could he? I knew it would be that way, but how could he? *sniff*
Back to dusting.

*sings* Swing low, sweet chariot, comin' for to carry me home....

I compose in Word because I need the spellchecker and thesaurus and always just use the asterisks, never try to use html in my journal because I know it's going to end up on SSA. The most important change for me was turning off smart quotes and accents in Word. I always wondered why I would cut/paste a story from SSA into Notepad to save and it would be really weird as a .txt file until I figured out what was happening.
