Copying and Pasting into Create Post

The italicized entry below (just something I had available) is pasted into the create posts box of blogger after being copied from another source. There are two ways to copy and paste after you have highlighted the section you want or gone to FILE/SELECT ALL. One is to use the right hand button.
The other is to use the CONTROL (ctrl) C to copy and CONTROL V to paste.

This is a good way for some of you to put your autobiographies on your blog.

OK! You are ready to Get Your Voice On!
