Rachel ... I use some of these codes and NEVER include the ";" .... they still work.

Maybe you need the semicolon if you are going to string several together?

That may be the case! Thank you for letting me know!

It is entirely up to you how you keep track of books! This is just a guide for fun ones!

I personally bold or strike them through :)

There are THREE zeros between the 1 and the 4 - ✔

If you use only two zeros you get Ϭ

Does anyone know how to add little stickers or pictures to the posts? I've seen other people have them and I can't figure it out.

[John]

Are you talking about links to books? If so at the top of the chat box is a link for "add book/author" and there is the option to post either the link or the book cover. Like so....

Thanks John. I figured that one out recently. I'm talking about picture pictures. I thought they came from the internet as images. I don't feel like I'm explaining this too well.

shoot I dont know that one without looking it up

[Book Concierge]

All this is based on using a desktop ...

emojis: click on the keyboard image at bottom of your screen. You'll get a pop-up keyboard ... then click on the little smiley face emoji to get a variety of emojis you can insert: like this ...❤😀🎈🍕

Pics from an internet site: Click on "(some html is ok) link just above the comment box and you'll get a pop up of accepted html coding. Follow directions for inserting an image. I've found that you do not need to specify the size, unless you really want to reduce the image size. For example:
