Formatting Your Message To Get Noticed


This document gives you some simple ideas for making your message stand out. There is a longer technical document available on formatting codes, but you may find this easier to use. Just copy the code in the samples below into the text box on the message board and edit as necessary. To make it easy for readers to search the classifieds, use some key words througout your ad, such as the type of music you play (e.g. rock, jazz), the type of band you are (e.g. cover, original, tribute), the position (e.g. lead singer, drummer)
