I have tried to put in HTML and I keep getting somthing about 'There were errors found in this post'. It even happens when I put in the code for Twitter button. Has anyone had this issue and can you please give me any advice how to get around this problem? Thank you for the help!

It will purge any bad or banned tags. You could post the HTML here and we can check it out to see what's wrong

The problem is your <script> tag, MFC doesn't allow it. Try this:

<a href="https://twitter.com/MizzBHaven">Follow @MizzBHaven</a>

For a regular link. If you want it to be a button, find an image of the twitter logo and turn the image in to a link instead.

Just copy the bit of code they posted in the code box and it will work for you!

When you're coding your MFC profile, stick to very basic html. image tags work, a href tags work, bold, italics, underline, paragraph and line-break tags, those work. Also, special character, though I don't know what those are. But below I have for you a list of code that works! Test it out in a part of your profile you don't mind losing.

For an image: (LINK1 is the address for the image. You have to host is somewhere to use this. You want the whole address, http and all.)
<image src=LINK1>

For a link: (LINK2 is the address you want the reader to go when they click the link. TEXT1 is the text that the profile will show on the link)
<a href=LINK2>TEXT1</a>

You can use the image tag in place of TEXT1 to make the image your link.

<br> this is a line-break. Basically like pressing the "enter" key on your keyboard when typing in word. Put it twice if you want a blank line between the two parts of text.

<p>text here</p> is the paragraph tags. You can use them around every other paragraph, and will automatically leave the blank line between paragraphs.

<b>bold text here</b>
<i>italics here</i>
<u>underlined text here</u>

<b><i>this is both bold and italics</i></b>

notice how the <i> is on the inside and the </i> is also on the inside? This is called nesting, just think of the <b> making a nest around the <i>

it's vitally important that you save your code in a text document before you update your profile. if you forgot to close one tag-pair somewhere, your entire code will be deleted and you'll have to start over, unless you do that one simple thing.

If you're on an HTML tutorial site, ignore the html tag at the top and bottom, ignore the title tags, and the body tags. Those MFC has already put in for you, in the background. You're not coding an entire webpage, you're just coding one block within a webpage.
