Understanding HTML Codes-
Knowing how to insert codes is a critical part of blogging or
creating a website in which ever platform you are using. Whether you
are in your own website, WordPress or Blogger, there will a time
when you will have to add some HTML codes. It may be simple html
codes for your like those for your feed links or more complicated
codes like javascripts which many Advertisers like Adsense uses.
Whatever it is, it would be good to know how to insert those codes.
A web page is created using a language called, Hypertext Markup
Language, better known as HTML Code. You can write your own coding
within a plain text editor, such as Note Pad, or use an HTML editor,
which will write the code for you. HTML codes, also referred to as
HTML tags, are enclosed by the lesser than (<) and greater than (>)
brackets and may be written in capital or lower case letters. When
you open a command you start with the < symbol followed by the
letter or letters of the HTML code. What you open you must close by
adding a slash to the tag. Anything you type in your HTML document
must be between the two tags for the tag to take effect.
Common HTML Codes:
Here are some basic HTML codes that even the beginner website
designer can use. Learn how to use these basic HTML codes to make a
signature link, creating links or banners to your website, or adding
interesting content to your blog. When using any of the HTML codes
use the first tag right before you want that design change and close
with the second tag. The closing tag has the same letter in brackets
as the opening tag but has a slash ( / ) before the letter.
Line Break-<br>
In HTML this tag works the same way hitting "enter" on your keyboard
works. This tag comes before a line break and does not have a
closing tag at the end.
Paragraph-
Use the <p> to
start a paragraph and end with </p>.
Bold-
Use the <b> Innovative
Improvements </b> when you want something to be in
bold print.
Italic- Use this tag:: <i>Website
Creations </i> to make words be
italic versus normal effect
Underline- Use the <u>
Michael Arnold Art </u> tag to
underline text:
Center- Use this code around wording that want to be
centered horizontally on the page
<center>Website Creations</center>
Add Link: You can use this
code to create a link:
<a href="http://michaelarnoldart.com/" target="_blank" >Michael
Arnold Art </a> The target=_blank makes the link open in a new
window. This is useful in posting blog entries and you can also use
this code to have a link to your homepage in your emails. The result
looks like this:
Michael Arnold Art
Add
Image: Use this code for an image:
<A
HREF="http://www.websitecreationideas.com"><IMG
SRC="http://www.websitecreationideas.com/banner3.jpg" border=0
width=234 height=60 ></a>
You must save the image on your site for the code to work. In this
case the image is saved on my site in a file named "image". The next
line is the name of the image. This line will end in jpg, gif or
another picture format. The banner has the link already included
(you can see the first line is the code for the link) The last
measurements tell you the size of the picture or banner. |
