Html quickie

standard codes

Note: This page has been updated...you no longer have to take stars our of the code before you paste it in order for the html to work! Thanks Leo for the tip! :)

to make something bold, right before the word you want emboldened you type

, and right after it, you type

italics =

italics

underline =

underline

colour =

color

ya getting it? basically all you're doing is dropping whatever you want changed in the middle of the html code. Right in between the first part of the html that changes it:

then the second part that stops the code from continuing: 
as follows

size =

size

face =

face

to change the colour, the face and the size you can just go lalalala =

lalala

How to make a link live:

The code is

So say for instance you want to link to my buffy site, Atheneum: http://atheneum.homestead.com. Here's what the link would look like:

When finished, it should look like this:
Atheneum

Okay...now how to add a picture. First of all, the pic (or whatever image you'd like to post) must be uploaded to some web space. 'cause you can post to your heart's delight where you've got the picture on your hard drive, but no one else can access that but you, so no one would be able to see it. It has to be somewhere on the web that the link can link to. (note: Geocities will no longer let you link to a picture hosted on their space. I've also heard that Tripod is implementing a similar restriction. In fact, it's showing up all over the internet) If all you need to do is upload pictures so that you can post them, I used to recommend Homestead, but alas, they've also jumped on the "no free webspace or bandwidth for you!" bandwagon. I'm actually not sure where you can go to do this, anymore, for free. But in case you've got your own space, or you know someone who's willing to upload for you, here's how you do it:

On my web page, I have stored a banner of Glory that Doyle asked me to make. To post this banner, here's the code to use:

<img src="http://picture%20location/">. It's actually a really simple code, once you get used to it. To find out what the address is that you need to insert into the code, all you have to do is right click on the picture you want to post and select "properties". The addy displayed is exactly what you'll need to insert. (note...you are not actually posting the ADDRESS of where the picture is located. You are posting the addy of where the picture is located on your page. The ending should be either a .jpg or a .gif ) The address to where my banner is located on my page is :

http://dittdo.homestead.com/files/glory_banner.jpg
So, the completed code would look like this:

When you're done, you should have posted this:

any questions? did I screw something up? Please Let me know. :) Thanks!
