Re: Better (very) late than never

First, Oh, welcome, Liz! I'm psyched you're officially among us and really can't wait to hear your voice chiming in on the various threads on here.

Second, italics are achieved by this means: < I > your dramatic text here < / I >, except without the spaces in between. You can also make bold text the same way, by replacing the I with a B, and I think underlining works with a U, too. The only other bit of HTML I use, which the girls here taught me to do, is inserting a hyperlink. We use it sometimes to point people handily to articles or sites we liked that are apropos to the topic, or to link back to other threads and points made in discussion. You can do that like this: < A HREF = "www.yourwebsite.com" > the actual text that shows, underlined in blue, here < / A >. (Note that there is a single space between A and HREF in the finished HTML code... it should look like <A HREF= to start out with.) Back to your gorgeous introduction---I still remember some of the conversations we had together when we were both... erm, engaged but chomping at the bit... in college. How encouraging it was to know and speak candidly with a young woman in the same stage of things! Two last things came to mind while reading: one, that hopefully you'll enjoy the rolling up of the sleeves and working out more truth together here, and that some of that will be not only an evaluation of the past and solidifying of beliefs about the before-marriage stage of life, but that some of it, too, will be truth for today: for our married selves, helping us love our husbands better. Then two was: don't feel intimidated by the sheer volume of some of the threads on here. Stick in your oar wherever you have a thought, even if you think it's "too late" and the discussion's over already. I personally enjoy every fresh new voice on here!
