How do I make a new paragraph?
To start a new paragraph or add blank lines to separate a paragraph you must type <br><br>
This will add a blank line. The first <br> will bring your text to the beginning of the next line. The second <br> will add a blank line.

Just pressing the enter key to add lines to separate a paragraph will not display the blank lines after you click submit. When entering the <br> make sure you type it exactly as it appears here, including the <>'s on the outside of the br.

Why doesn't my eMail address show up like I typed it in?
In order to protect guests from being spammed (unwanted eMail solicitation) by unscrupulous businesses your eMail address has been replaced with an eMail icon. This still allows people (anyone) to contact you through your eMail address but they can't see it in order to add it to their eMail list. This allows you to screen anyone who contacts you, thereby, letting you decide who you want to reply to.

What areas of the guest book are used in the search?
There are three areas of the guest book that are used in the search. They are: Name, From and Comment

How do I search for my old buddies name?
If you're not sure what your buddies name is just type in a partial name. For example, if his actual name is Johnathan Mullins, you can enter the letters John, nathan mul, mullins, or lins. Any of these letter combinations will find Johnathan Mullins. The thing to remember is if you type in John then wherever in the guest book the letter combination John is found will return a list of guests. Even if someone said something about getting a "Dear John letter" in the comment section, it will list that as a result for you.
How do I search for guys that were in my platoon?
Let's say you were searching for the Copperheads platoon. You could type in Copperhead then click on search and any mention of the word Copperhead in the comment section would list results for you. You might also want to try gun platoon. Or if you were in the Executioners platoon you could try typing "1st" but that would also list the 101st and so on. I think you get the picture.

How do I search for guests that are only from my state?
States can be a little tricky because they're listed as an abbreviation. For example, if you were searching for all the guests from NJ, you could enter the letters nj then click search and you would get everybody from NJ and also anywhere the letters NJ occurred in the comment section. Like the word enjoyed, for instance.

To make your search by state easier, use a comma and a space before the state's abbreviation. So it would look like you typed in ", NJ" (without the quotes though) that way your search will return only states. At least most of the time.

I'm finished with my search. How do I go back to viewing all the guests?
That's easy. Just click on the "List Guests" icon and you'll return to where you started.
