How to see the codes in your posts TPM  in "Blog Now"
On the formatting bar under the "body" and "extended" tabs you will see on the right side two options buttons. They are A and <A>
If you click on the <A> button it will display the html codes (or allow you to enter them manually.

When you click on the A button, it will take you back to "wysiwyg" mode.

OR
The blog entry system defaults to Format: Rich Text.
To see the html codes (and edit them), you can switch to "convert line breaks"
Reselect "Rich Text" to go back to standard entry mode.

Breaking your article up into two parts.
If you do not want the full text of each of your posts to show on your "YOUR BLOG" page, you can break it up into two parts.

On the blog entry screen, you see 2 tabs above the formatting bar - "Body" and "Extended"
 What you type in the "Body" entry space will show up on "YOUR BLOG." If you put all of your article there, then all of it will show up.
HOWEVER
If you click on the "Extended" tab it will give you another entry window. Put the remainder of your post in the extended space.

Save it.

If you use the "Extended" entry window, what is in the "Body" will show up in "YOUR BLOG" and when people click on your article's title,  the full article will show up (Body and Extended)
