Finally getting to setting up my new Backlight 2 website. I am finally learning to navigate in the design pages, but had a few issues:
1) Can I create Italic fonts? If so, how do I do that?
2) On my contact page, I have inserted my desired content into the primary content box. Yet the latin Loqum, etc. text continues to appear. I can't remove it. Can you help with this?
3) I want to insert a JPEG image alongside the text on my content page. Can this be done?
Thanks

1) use Markdown or html. Markdown: http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … h_markdown
2) Edit the Contact Form. Go to Designer > Contact Forms. Edit the form you’re using
3) yes. Use html: http://ttg-tips-and-tricks.barbeephoto. … opy-areas/

Still having problems with contact page content. Here's what's in the box for the content for that page:

Despite the lack of the latin text anywhere in the content box on the designer page, this is what I see in my test site:

Have you looked at the Contact Form itself (not the Contact page)? Design > Contact Forms. It also contain the Lorem Ipsum text
The text you show in your first link is the acknowledgement text. Either click the Back button or the Contact page link to get back to the page with the form on it.
Also, if you want to include images in your post you can use the IMG tag. See this post: http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=7046

I tried using the img tag but couldn't get it to work (at least in the preview). I used the default contact form; that's probably the issue.

The img tag might not work unless there's an image, like a .jpg or .png at the end of the url.
The lorem ipsum will be there even if you create a new contact form. Just delete it or replace it with whatever you want.

First two problems solved. I have almost figured out how to insert an image, but can't quite get it to work. I created an "Images" folder in the Backlight/Custom folder which is setup on a folder called "Testsite" on my website. I FTP'd the two images I wanted to insert on the contact and about pages and then right clicked on the image for the contact page to copy the URL to the clipboard. I then inserted the clipboard contents between the quotation marks in the main copy (md) for the contact page. Here is the text as it currently reads:
<img src="ftp://finkspho@finksphotos.com/public_html/testsite/backlight/custom/Images/Humphead-wrasse-for-contact.jpg" width="300" class="alignright" alt="Drop Me a Line">I look forward to hearing from you!
Please use the form below to contact me with your questions or comments.
In the site where I want the image on my contact page, I am seeing the alternate text "Drop Me a Line" instead of the actual image. Can you help?
Thanks

Never mind..problem solved. I realized I was already in the public_html folder so I just deleted everything in front of "/backlight" and it worked!!!

Don’t use ftp:// ...... Use a url: htp://...
and you don't need to include the public_html folder in the path.
You could use http://yoursite.com/backlight/custom/images... too, but /testsite/backlight/custom/images works as well
