The use for this feature is to update your posts.

This way you can “strike-out” what you originally wrote, update it with the new info, and keep people up to date.

It’s also good to do this because it will help to increase your page rank (updating your old posts that is).

The first place I saw this used was by Steve Pavlina. He uses it to update readers on the amount of money he makes along with other things. It can really help to give people a feeling of “being in the know”.

I would never use such a tool for comedy purposes…

Yeah RT I’d noticed that too – makes you look like you don’t proof read your posts!

Okay, now I have to find a use for the strikethru... On a related note, I often find it handy to insert HTML codes for special characters & symbols. Sometimes you'll find that you need double-quotes inside of quotes. Or maybe you need a one-half fraction or copyright symbol. You can find an easy to use list here.

Hey RT, i didn’t know that, it is useful for comedy purposes or if you have done a checklist and would like to strike something off the list.

Hey Scott, i found blogger first, so with my PR at 4 i am staying there for the time being

Hey Jason, i don’t mess around at all! I am sure you find a use for it

When you say quick, you don’t mess around do you? I’m still looking for an excuse to use the line through.

I do love my wordpress. This is another example of something which I would have a very tough time doing with a regular website which is incredibly easy with wordpress

If you look at posts on Technorati and other places the stricken words do not have lines through them. They’re using XHTML Strict which doesn’t support it like Transitional. I like it myself and have used it a few times.
