Titles + Headers

You want to create some
TitlesSubtitlesHeadersSubheadersSmaller Headers
Normal text
?

Well, you have options.
First, you're going to look at your tool bar that is near the top of your screen. Do you see it? Good.

Note: The red circled things are important.
Then you are going to click the tT Button there. It will hover this menu:

Volia:

So that's nice. But you want want emphasis sometimes? Like: This kind of emphasis.
Emphasis

Pretty basic..

Since you're so busy shouting at people, you lost count of your llamas in your heard. Darn it.
However, as you find them, you need a list.
Listing and Blockquote

The first option gives you
this
that
this

The second option provides numbered counting.
Like this
that
and
this.

(to get out of it, hit return twice without typing anything in. Or clicking space below the listing to the left.. Sometimes it can get finicky.)

The "" is a blockquote. This is a blockquote. It will appear different on different kinds of skins.

Alignment You got dizzy chasing after all those llamas! You need to align your thoughts. awesome
Notice this on your tool bar?

So your fella , username friend sent you something awesome ?

You don't want to write out links like deviantart.com/ You can go like ref="deviantart.c om/">deviantART , and rename them.
The HTML way spazzes in sta.sh, since sta.sh is a WYSIWYG editor. {What you see is what you get}

write out deviantart.com ..

Click the button called Link>

This will appear. Fill it out and press OK.
And you get: This instead of deviantart.com.
You must fill in the Title (optional) to rename the link.

Note: Leave the 100% alone, or you will end up working with size disgustingly small and get a headache.

Complex Rich Formatting in Sta.sh Writer
The Add Items Panel

Behold...
So many options.
What can you do?

Drag + Drop files from desktop/folders to upload them into sta.sh. Click and drag from the new area onto your writing canvas. Or click them.

Hover over it and you can drag the corners to make it larger...

Draw on it in muro, thumb it, or remove it.

More Panels: the deviantART Panel

You can search dA for thumbs + your gallery + your faves!
You can resize and draw all over the thumbs as well.
Useful for creating features.
However, this isn't a how to make features tutorial.
I suggest you check
How to make a great Journal feature out.
miontre rocks!
Oh quick tip: : devusernamehere : (without the spaces) links to groups + deviants.
You can also use :iconusernamehere :
hq
username
:iconhq: :devhq:
:iconusername: :devusername:

The Emoticons Panel

Click or drag them. Have fun with it. You can also search for emoticons in the search bar.

Get the expressions going! Whee.
<- Sexy.

Oh, you must use : : if you're going to type it out without clicking.
:la: makes

Sharing+ Extra Options

Sharing that link allows someone else to view your sta.sh article.

Unchecking the Always Add Full Size Images is useful. Thumbs show up as size ugly huge if that is checked.
Switch to HTML mode removes the rich text effect. Which doesn't allow you to use any of the things I just said, but allows for more controlled formatting if you're amazing at coding.

The File and Edit Buttons are quite self explanatory.

I hope you found this tutorial useful.
