Hello, dear visitors of my blog!
Today we will return to the topic of YouTube again, the topic is very interesting and, moreover, is rarely covered - these are comments on YouTube.
There are no emoticons on YouTube (what are emoticons and how to add them?), there is no way, like in other social networks, to highlight text and comments in different colors and write in different fonts.
But I want to please you with the fact that there are some tricks with which you can very easily make your comments on any video on YouTube so that they will stand out from the rest. And not only with smart written text, detailed commentary, but also with the design of the commentary text itself.
In a few seconds you will learn how to write your comments on YouTube in bold, italic and strikethrough text, and also learn how to easily combine these methods.
In the last article, I told you how you can easily and correctly add your videos to YouTube, how to easily download any videos and playlists from other channels. If you want to be the first to know about new videos on my YouTube channel, don’t forget to properly subscribe to my channel!

How to print numbers on the entire A4 sheet in Word
A very similar task - in my opinion, completely similar to the one discussed above. To create huge numbers in A4 size, you can use all the same methods that I showed in this article. So if you need to make sure that one number fits on a sheet (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or the number 0), then consider that you can already do this. Well, this is, of course, if you carefully read what was written above.
And in addition to this, I’ll probably show you another way to enlarge the inscriptions to fill the entire sheet. Namely, contour symbols in A4 size. An example is shown in the figure. True, there is already a fill there, but you can figure out for yourself how to remove it... (hint: shape properties).
Why is this necessary?
Well, for example, in order to color it all later. And indeed, color printers are not very common. By the way, you can read about printing color images on a black and white printer here.
I recommend saving the above picture to your computer (if you don’t know how, read here) as a cheat sheet. If what is shown in the screenshot requires explanation, then read the next paragraph.
To make a figure that fits the entire A4 sheet, first remove the margins or make them as narrow as possible (about changing the margins here). After that, from the Ribbon menu in the “Insert” section, select WordArt and add it to the sheet. Then just increase the font, everything is clear. It’s just worth considering one feature.
Use the text frame markers along the edges to expand the box so that your number fits. Otherwise, it will go beyond the frame and part of the number will not be visible. You also need to center the text so that it is in the middle of the sheet. To do this, drag it outside the frame border (usually down).
How to design a Vkontakte advertising post using text formatting
Not everyone knows, but on VKontakte you can write strikethrough, underlined and bold text in posts in your personal or community feed.
This means that you can make your advertising posts more unique, more interesting and, as a result, more clickable.
Initially, the article was supposed to be called “Life hacks for promotional posts” since these tricks were easily moderated in the VK target, but now it is automatically fixed when saving the settings (just text remains without formatting) - I have already found a workaround, read below.
And at the moment I have one working ad left as an example, which I now sometimes run. (Before this, I tested on different topics with different posts, but my account was taken away, there was only one thing left). Here's an example:
But it still works for public advertising. And your posts will be able to attract more attention from users than boring emoticons.
UPD: LIGHTNING! While writing the article, I found a solution on how to use it again in promotional posts! You just need to exclude emoticons from the entry:
This post will certainly not pass moderation, but the first post and many similar ones did.
So.
To write strikethrough text
After each character in a word, you need to add the combination &#_0822; ( without underscore ).
For long sentences, this procedure is tedious and you can use an automatic service.
Just enter the desired sentence and copy the result.
Example:
In the feed it will look like this:
PS paste the received code into the feed.
Oh yes, immediately make a ready-made post with code and plain text, emoticons ( we no longer use emoticons ), links, pictures, and so on, and do not change it after posting, since everything will be lost after editing. Example of a post to post:
After publication, the first line will contain the crossed out text, and the rest will remain as in the picture, but if you later edit the published post or change something in it, the crossed out text will disappear.
To write underlined text
It is necessary to add the same number of combinations &_#175; to the number of characters. ( without underscore ).
It’s already easier, but I also recommend using a ready-made solution to simplify life - https://vkontakte.doguran.ru/podcherknutyj-tekst-vkontakte.php
Example:
To write in bold text
Here you need to bother with Unicodes, I recommend not to worry and just use https://qaz.wtf/u/ ( Latin letters only ). Therefore, you need to be creative.
Example:
The letter "B" is the English "B".
That's all, you can play with these chips and improve your performance in terms of the number of clicks from advertising. When working with promotional posts, this increased the CTR significantly.

How to change the style
First you need to highlight the word you want to change. To do this, hover your cursor at the very beginning. Then press the left mouse button and, without releasing it, drag to the end of the word. When it turns a different color (usually black or blue), it means the word has been highlighted.
Then click on the button with the style you need.
You can assign several types of style at once.
Example
To return the changed part of the text (word) to its original form, you need to select it and click on the button with the assigned style. Most likely, the button you need will be a different color - yellow or orange.
By the way, it is customary to highlight headings in the text in bold.
How to change the font
Sometimes it becomes necessary to change the font in a chat or posted posts. Making bold or italic text in Telegram is easy. The size of the written words can also be changed.
In chat
To increase or decrease the size of words, do the following:
1. Open the application.
2. Find three dots in the upper left corner and click them.
3. Go to “Settings”.
4. Move to “Interface Scale”.
5. Select the required text sizes.
Changes are made in the same way on iPhone, Android, Windows and iOS.
In posts
Making posts is a simple and interesting process. To get selected characters you need to:
- Dial the desired message.
- Place the * symbol at the beginning and end.
The text sent to the recipient will be changed.
You need to do italics like this:
1. Write the necessary phrases in the input field.
2. Select them on both sides with the symbols “_”.
3. The sent message will be underlined. In this way, you can select only one word from a phrase.
After submitting, you will see the phrase in italics. This way you can only change one word from a large message.
Bold text in message
There is only one way to make text bold in a private message. Previously, special online text conversion services were used for this. With the help of such sites, you could create text using any font and send it to a friend. Now, to highlight words or sentences, you need to resort to the vulnerability of the social network. To send text with bold emphasis, follow the instructions:
- Go to the page of the person you want to send the text to.
- Under his avatar, click the send message button.
- Write your message at least 201 characters long, including spaces.
- After the required amount of text has been printed, an additional field entitled “Subject” will appear in the window. Whatever you write on this line will be in bold. This field has a limitation. You will not be able to print text longer than 64 characters.
- Send a letter.
Important! If you go into the conversation after sending a message, you will not see any highlighted text. The fact is that bold text will only be displayed by the recipient. To see this, try an experiment with your friend.
The function that allows you to specify the topic of the article was developed for business correspondence. But no one forbids using it for your own purposes.
We write in the developers' font
Typically, this writing style is used to highlight some technical terminology. In fact, it simply uses a different font - monospace. This is exactly what programmers usually use in their work, which is where the name comes from.
To take advantage of the opportunity to write in a programmers' font, before and after the message, use the “tilde” sign - on the keyboard it is located to the left of the “1” key - on the letter “E”. It should look like this: `text`.
Nuances
As you can see, making text in comments bold does not require much effort, but there are some features that may cause some users to make mistakes.
- Always make sure that the asterisk symbol appears in conjunction with the word itself. That is, there should not be a space or any other sign/symbol between the character and the word.
- It is not sentences or words that are highlighted, but all the characters that are located between two asterisks. Knowing this information, you can type even more creative messages.
- This highlighting method only works in comments. If you want to design, using bold characters, for example, a description of your channel, then nothing will come of it.
As you can see, there are not so many nuances. And the topic is not that serious, so there is always room for error.
Bold font with strong tag
This method is suitable if you want to highlight an important part of the text in bold. The HTML tag is a logical formatting tag and its essence is to “emphasize” the importance of the selected fragment.
There are other logical formatting tags in HTML. For example, a tag makes text italic and indicates emphasis on the highlighted phrase.
Other types of text selection are described in the article: Tags, text formatting in HTML.
Don't use the tag too often. A page oversaturated with tags may be “punished” by search engines. The same thing can happen if you highlight all search keywords on a page, or the same phrase over and over again.
An example of how to make a bold font HTML tag:
Plain text, highlighted important piece of text . Plain text.
Making a larger font using the “Increase font size” button
In addition, new versions of Word (for example, Word 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016) have another tool for changing the font size. These are the “Increase size” and “Decrease size” buttons, which are located to the right of the drop-down list with font sizes.
These buttons allow you to increase or decrease the font size by one step according to the list of sizes. That is, if you currently have 14 font installed, then after clicking on the “Increase size” button you will get 16 font (the next value in the list of font sizes).
After font size 72, the increase occurs by 10 points (80, 90, 100, 110, etc.).
What fonts can you write in VK?
You can use the online service to write any text in a beautiful font. I usually do this on https://fontsme.ru. Quite convenient and simple.
In the social network “Vkontakte” itself, printing in different fonts is not provided.
But as a way out, you can type the text in the Microsoft Word editor and copy it to the website.
You cannot copy text from Word, it will not help.
How to install a dark theme on VK?
Recently, an option has appeared in the mobile application, in the main settings menu.
If you are looking for browsers on a PC, extensions for your browser will help you here, just enter the appropriate query in the search for extensions of your browser. There are some with pretty good reviews.
Who and why decided that the Times New Roman font is the best for performing any task?
The short answer to this question is: no one has solved this. Moreover, in Cyrillic it is one of the worst fonts. As professionals, we strongly discourage the use of Times New Roman.
The long answer is this: historically, the first computers, the first software - especially text editors - had to select some fonts as default, that is, those that appear by default when a new document is created. So the choice fell on two fonts: sans serif Arial and serif Times New Roman. These were fonts that once actually made sense and were conventionally called system fonts - fonts that were pre-installed in the operating system. At the same time, in those days, operating systems were very different from each other: macOs and Windows were quite different, they used different encodings, and interpreted text differently. As a result, software manufacturers agreed among themselves that a certain number of fonts would be interchangeable: they should be fairly close to each other in proportions, weights, and so on. Actually, this is how system fonts appeared and were present in our lives for quite a long time, and Times New Roman and Arial were fonts that appeared by default at the moment when a new document was created.
Professionals, especially font people, really dislike both of these fonts precisely because of the quality of the Cyrillic alphabet. The fonts were created a long time ago, the quality of the Cyrillic alphabet was very questionable at the very beginning and, unfortunately, never in the history of the development of all these operational - system - fonts has it changed for the better.
