How Do I...?

I'm a 24 hour Newbie to this site so I am having a really difficult time trying to find a way to reply to an ongoing post already in the timeline.

Can someone please clue me in on what we do to make a direct reply to someone else's comment?

Thanks

    @shllnzl thanks so much for the info.. I hate it when someone asks or comments to me and I can not return the favor.

    @greyfurball You're welcome. I'm still learning to use the site myself.

    @greyfurball how are your posts and replys coming? I’ve read some of your posts and replied to them so you must be getting the h@ng of all of the technicalities.

    @teachercaryn it's going much better but I'm now stuck at one more thing and I haven't been able to find a work around for that.

    When I want to make a list which needs bullet points, since they don't give us that option in our editing features I just drop down and hit the space bar a few times and type #1. Then when I hit return it starts the bullet format only it prints #1 again. No matter how I've tried I can't change that second #1 to a number 2 without losing the bullet format.

    Dumb but there's got to be some trick I haven't figured out yet.

    @greyfurball I typed up the 15 herbs from Rosemary Gladstar's Summit presentation. I expected to have to type each number, but the system did it for me starting with number 2. You could look up that comment and see if I typed something in a different format than you did. All I know is it worked.
