very clear unclear tutorial

I was looking for an appropriate picture for today's post when I came across this one from last Sunday's walk just minutes from our farm. It is one of my favorite spots since it is lined with Maple trees. I told my beloved to do an action shot and this was his best shot. The leaves have been receiving a good drenching the last few days and have likely lost their fun.

Okay, now for today's tutorial, Lovella style. I've been trying to figure out how to cross strike words from my post. I've always thought it quite fun and a bit more inside the mind of what one would really be thinking if they were to be really honest. I've searched in the help section to no avail. The other day I put out a plea and Joyful Kathi gave me the instructions. Thank you.

Unfortunately I'm a slow learner and still couldn't get it to work. So, I did what most clever moms do . . ..I asked my son. Not wanting to call him and disturb him at work, I sent an emergency email, requesting his help.

He sent me instructions along with this link. I have repeatedly tried to show you how to do this but now I'm so good at it. It continues to strike out my instructions . ..I'm laughing very hard now. So, click on the link and good luck. I thought I could show you if I wasn't in html but alas it works even in compose mode. Basically, you are going to use this <> sign which we will call the pointing outward arrows. So . .. put the first half of the pointing outward arrow and then type the word "strike". Then put the other side of the pointing out arrow. On the other side of the word you wish to strike out put another pointing out arrow and one of these / before you write the word strike again. Make sure you finish with the >.

I do hope this helps those of you who need a moment of comic relief.

Oh, and for tomorrows post, you will need . . .fresh graham cracker crumbs, fresh, walnuts and fresh packaged fine coconut. You'll also need some "real" creamy unsalted butter, some icing sugar, vanilla custard powder and some semi sweet chocolate. Run to town and pick these up because you'll need them if you want to try a Canadian treat.

Helloooo . .. .I'm updating my tutorial at 11 am. I realized that I have been as clear as mud. I decided to type the instructions , print them out . . .scan them, crop them and add them as a picture into my post. There you go. I'm exhausted. For my friends that say to me, "you must spend a lot of time of your blog" .. . .today . . .. you are absolutely correct.

Oh and I do hope this will help the voting poll.

Have a great day my friends. I'm off to do some tasting photography on tommorows post.
