    Can anyone tell me hw to add a PSN Portable ID on my Sig

    I don't know much about PSN Portable and how their ID's work, but if it's an embedded code displaying information or a link of any kind then you will have to wait until you are Level 3 in order to get the information you want provided to work in your signature or become a paid subscriber if you don't want to wait the few days it requires to use the site enough in order to Level Up to Level 3 to be able to use these features. For more information on Levels, Requirements and how they work here on GameSpot please read through this stickied thread: GameSpot LEVELING GUIDE - How do I Gain Levels? (2010 version)

    What is the problem if you're still getting the "Unclosed Tags" error and all of your tags are actually closed?

    Then you must still be missing one somewhere, keep looking, or if you can't get it click on the "HTML" button on your Editor, copy and paste all the text in the box that comes up into a notepad and PM me and I will give you my email to send it to, I'll look over it, fix it and email it back letting you know which tag was left open. Then you can just copy and paste the text from the notepad I send back to you into your blog and click submit. But from looking at your post here, unless you inserted an image or a link into your blog post it will either be a font tag:

    Code:
     <font color="color"> Text</font>


    Or one of the p tags:

    Code:
     <p>Text then a line break if used is</p><p>Then more text</p>

    Some tags aren't as easy to spot their closing tags, like with images. Even just leaving out a simple " will leave them open for instance the image html doesn't have a clearly noticeable closing tag:

    Code:
     <img src="URLaddress" />


    Some are a little more sneaky than others. It takes a while to get used to picking up some of them. I used to edit hours of code when helping to run an IRCD server so I'm used to looking for such things, but to those just learning it can be a bit frustrating.

    But how do you add a BBcode on your blog? Do you use the HTML editor... or something?

    For BBcode you have to type it out if it's going in your blog since there is no button on the WYSIWYG Editor for BBcode, only for HTML. Also using the BBcode with the Editor on runs the risk of getting the error "Your HTML is not well formed" since your BBcode will be falling in between the HTML tags your Editor normally puts into your posts. I can answer your question better if you provide the exact BBcode you are wanting to use in your blog.

    Uh... It's alright now. Thanks. The info I need was "For BBcode you have to type it out if it's going in your blog since there is no button on the WYSIWYG Editor for BBcode, only for HTML."
