Hi Beth

On your original post (wherever that is), look at the bottom right corner. You will see in small type: reply | edit | delete | flag *

Simply click on edit and then change whatever you want, or copy the contents into a new post. Then click the 'Edit Post' button on the bottom left corner of the box. That will save your changes.

Hope this is what you meant :)
