Make a status update stand out with underlined text.

Your Facebook "status" updates are one of the main ways users keep in touch. When you post a new status update, anybody who subscribes to your feed sees the update. You can post what you're doing for the evening, share an insightful quote, or post a fun joke. If you want to add emphasis and style to these posts, you can underline text within your Facebook status. Facebook's default profile only allows underlining in chat messages and notes, but the free Bold Face Facebook app (see Resources) gives you underlining capability in status updates too.
