Here are some more:
1. How do I edit my profile?
I have found the easiest way to get to your profile is to click on your name in a post. It will take you to your bio page. On your bio page, it will have a link to edit your profile.
2. How do I put a link in my signature?
Put this code into your signature box in your profile:
<a href="website address" target="_blank">link words</a>
It helps if you change your website address to a smaller url.
Go to www.tinyurl.com to do this. Sometimes The Knot cannot process too many characters.
3. How do I put a picture in my signature?
Put this code into your signature box in your profile:
[IMG]website address[/IMG]
The best place to upload pictures is: www.tinypic.com. It does all the work for you. Choose the picture you want, upload it, DON'T FORGET TO RESIZE IT!! PLEASE choose either thumbnail or website sizes. Others are way too big. Copy and paste the website address for forums/message boards into your signature box. It should look like the one above.
4. In my signature, How do I make a link/picture:
side by side -
make sure they are next to each other with no spaces and are not too big (thumbnail size works best).
Example -
[IMG]website address[/IMG][IMG]website address[/IMG]
on another line -
Use this code - <br>
Example -
Me and my Fiance
<br>[IMG]website address[/IMG]
5. Where do you find the wedding tickers that say theknot.com?

6. Where do I create a bio?
You can use the new Knot bio builder. You can get there by clicking on your name in a post. It will take you to your bio.
Other Sites to consider-
Google Sites - http://sites.google.com
Freewebs - www.webs.com
Weebly - www.weebly.com
Its best not to make your wedding webpage your bio page. You don't want to give out too much information about your wedding to everyone over the internet. Its also best not to include full names on the internet as well.
7. How do I put a picture in my post?
Same way you would put one in your signature. Use this code:
[IMG]website address[/IMG]
Please remember to make your picture smaller before posting! A good site as I've mentioned before is - www.tinypic.com
8. How do I get a RSVP ticker in my signature?
Use this code and paste it into your signature:
Number Invited<img src="http://tinyurl.com/2sdozd">
Number Attending<img src="http://tinyurl.com/32ch7p">
Number Declined<img src="http://tinyurl.com/2ts57r">
Number Not Replied<img src="http://tinyurl.com/3capks">
RSVP Date September 27
9. Where can I sell my leftover wedding items?
If they are leftover from your wedding, you can post on the boards you frequent. Normally your local board is the ideal place. However, please do not spam up more than your own boards as your posts can be deleted.
Another place to try is the Trash to Treasure board. This is a place where everyone posts their unwanted wedding items to sell: http://boards.thenest.com/Boards/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=466&MsdVisit=1
10. How do I put another knottie on ignore?
I generally do not recommend putting someone on ignore. It takes away from the experience.
However, if you must - here is how you do it:
Go to the bottom of the forum. You will see a search box.
Type the knotties name in that box.
In the drop down box on your right, scroll down to Find Knottie/Nestie bio
It will take you to the Knottie Directory.
You will see a list of the knottie name, date, how many posts and a check mark.
Click on the check mark and voila - you have ignored that person.
11. How do I create a link?
It is really polite to make any link you want people to go to clickable.
Try this: [url]websiteaddress[/url]
I also find that if you backspace to the end of the link and click enter, it will make that website a link.
If all else fails and you can't make something a link no matter how hard you try, try to get your website to fit onto one line. If you don't, it makes it harder for people to copy and paste to see what you are talking about.
You can make your website smaller by going to www.tinyurl.com
