A number of people have been trying to use italics in their comments on this site and have been unable to do so. I think I MIGHT have fixed this problem by selecting an option that allows HMTL in comments. I haven't been able to test whether this works because I personally have no idea how to put things in italics in the comments . . . but give it a try and see if it works.
I may be a hip, cutting-edge blogger but I am technologically fairly clueless.
I guess it works :)

How do you do italics or bold? I'm not good with technology so when explaining it do so with that in mind. (o:

Ok, I didn't do that, it just did it for me...I'm more confused than ever.

I don't get it either, Mrs. B. I think someone has to turn the italics off but I don't know how.

Turning off italics
Are they turned off?

I see they are. What happened is that someone forgot to close off a tag. If you see this happen again just make a comment, but don't put an opening italics tag, just put a closing italics tag, and presto.
