Hi everybody, I love how easy it is to upload a story. I really enjoy being able to see my picture when I post it and not have to go back and forth to make sure the pictures show up...
Simcerely,
Tasia.
Glad to see someone's happy!
You can usually get away with a width of about 720px, but the 600 you chose is probably the best in practical terms when paired off against the text size.
The default Editor function when posting can be a pain at times, so I tend to use Source when I'm posting on here.
When going to edit, click on "full edit" instead of "quick edit", As Minty said, from there just click on 'Source' which should be towards the top of the posting box, next to edit. There you should be able to see all the codes, and have the ability to get rid of them.
