some difficulty at Agnes Baldwin Alexander
From it looks almost like you were attempting do html formatting in the age? These days such formatting is rarely needed. The main editor is a WYSIWYG type of editor so in most cases you just hit two returns for a paragraph break and so on. Various buttons do various special formatting. You may also be intersted in the Wikipedia:Tutorial/Editing/sandbox as a place to practice (click the " you can find or create your own user sandbox here" link). And images are tricky too - beyond the syntax once you figure it out - you have to load the file and pass a close copyright inspection. --Smkolins (talk) 00:18, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
