Essential HTML tags for a BloggerWritten by Abdulrehman on June 12th, 2008
If you’re a Blogger I believe that there are some HTML tags that all Bloggers must know. Old Bloggers usually know this kind of stuff, but as for beginners who do not even know how to edit a link in their sidebar, I’ll be helping you out with that. Firstly you must know how to make the text bold and italic which is the most basic stuff. All HTML tags begin with a <> . However when you use an opening tag you must put a closing tag as well to declare where it ends, and in order to differentiate between the two, you put the closing tag, which has a slash in the starting like </ and >.
- For making the text bold you put a strong in the opening and closing tag, it would look like this: <strong> This text becomes Bold </strong>
- For making the text italic you put an em in the opening and closing tag, it would look like this:
<em> This text becomes italic </em>
- If you want to move to the next line you use a breaker, for this purpose only one opening tag is required and you put a br it looks like this:
<br/>
- If you are writing an article or something and you want it to e in the form of paragraphs, then you put a p in the opening and closing tags, it looks like this:
<p> This is a paragraph </p>
- You must also know how to make a link, this is a bit tricky. It looks like this:
<a href=’http://3arn.net/‘> Website </a>
Pretty simple isn’t it? Instead of 3arn.net you can put your link there. You can also edit the text between the two tags as that will be the text that the reader will view.
- You should also know how to put an image on the page, for this you should have an image link that you want to be shown. The tag looks like this:
<img src=’Put the image link here‘/>
The format for an image link is like this: http://www.demo.com/picture.jpg
- Making lists is also very helpful however you should know how to make them. First you have to declare a list, for that you can either use <ul> or <ol> . Then for each bullet of a list you put a <li> tag, write in it and then close it with a </li> tag. Once you are done with your list, you declare the end of the list with a </ul> or </ol> tag.
I have not gone into a lot of details because for many beginners coping up with these tags can be difficult so writing in detail would be hard for them to learn. I will soon be writing about more HTML tags that prove very helpful, if you have any questions, feel free to respond to this article.
