HTML is a series of symbols. Two of those symbols, usually designating the beginning and ending of a command, are what you get when you press CAP and comma - you get the backward arrow head. When you type Cap and uppercase period, you get the symbol for a forward arrow.

If the little word processing program that Spark uses senses either of those two symbols, it gives you that "No Hypertext Mark-up, please".

HTML(Hyper Text Markup Language) is computer code. If you "add an emoticon," what shows between the brackets before you hit "post" is html.

So if you've used those brackets (left/right arrows) at all in your post, SP considers that you are trying to put html in your message. There might be other symbols that offend SP, too...but I'm not savvy enough to know them all.

Chris is partially right. When email was first "born" it used html coding so the clever geeks who started the free email progy decided to call it HoTMaiL. (Geeks can be funny, too...in fact I suspect a couple of our teammates to be geeks at heart.) But you don't need to reset anything to accept hotmail...not pertinent at SP.

hotmail.... you might have to adjust your setting to accept hotmail.

If you already cut and pasted the info onto you last post, you should be able to just hit the edit key and go back in.....

You can list it somewhere on your daily 'template' or list it in your head. Although I think Deb pretty much has it covered with her generic "lunch" which I'm assuming most of us have been eating.

I was just flipping through the dictionary for a good L-word to use and came across a bunch of L-foods--lemons, limes, lima beans, lentils. I didn't want to shoehorn y'all into eating something you might find disgusting.

As Sal pointed out, I was being 'downright mean' requesting that we eat fewer than our allotted calories for the day...it only has to be one calorie less!

So I sarcastically say I'm not going back and forth to figure how many points I have for each of these, sorry. Too lazy. Besides, I'm taking today off because I've cardioed for more than 7 days in a row now and I'm tired. So there.

I knew I was going to mess something up with having all these letters! More than six is a challenge for me. What am I saying? More than 4...I'm quite good at 4 letters.

Gotta find something new for "L". Be back later.
