Oh, I'm so bummed. I was right. It IS because of my Mac, or maybe my Safari browser that I can't do italics, colours and LJ cuts. I'm stuck in 'Auto-Format HTML" and there's no option to change it. But at least now I know it's not my fault! All this time I thought I couldn't do it because of ignorance and ineptitude. However, I was able to figure it out all by myself on another computer. For me, that's really saying something.
I think I need a new browser, but I have no idea what to do about that. I really admire people who can make homepages and design websites and just blithely make changes on their computers with confidence instead of dread.
I think it's time to call my good friend Emily. She helps me with my computer from time to time, but has no idea about my Yaoi proclivities. I'll have to come clean with her about what I want to do on LJ, but fortunately, I have a PG version of me elsewhere on LJ, although I haven't looked at it for a long time. Emily is incredibly kind, helpful and efficient, and I think it's only a matter of time until she moves to a larger city where there will be more opportunities for her to use her talents.
