Not a worry Mandy! And yes, it is somewhat tricky now...
The only tip to remember is that HTML works like this (without the spaces):
E.g. [ code] write your text [ /code]
Also, just remember the important codes:
For bold, the code => [ b] write word [ /b]
For italics, the code => [ i] write [ /i]
To quote something, the code = [ quote]blah blah [ /quote]
