HTML: HTML tags to know

by Elizabeth, Delightfully Tacky

HTML is a scary thing for a lot of people. All those weird characters and stuff that doesn't seem to make any sense at all... it's like trying to read a whole new language. Because most blogging platforms have made it easy to edit stuff without needing to get down to the nitty gritty HTML, you probably won't need to know a ton of HTML. However, there are some HTML tags that will probably come in handy for you to know!

The tag I use most (in every post, actually), is the image tag:

• <img src="http://yourphotolink.com"width="600"/>

Here are some more great HMTL codes you might find yourself using!

Link code-

• <a href="http://linktoyourblog.com"/>my blog!</a>

Image link code-

• <a href="http://linktoyourblog.com"/><img src="http://yourphotolink.com"width="600"/></a>

Email code-

• <a href="mailto:youremailaddy@email.com">contact me</a>

Breaks-

• </br>

Bold text-

• <b>text you want bold</b>

Italicized text-

• <i>text you want in italics</i>

Strike through text-

• <s>text you want in strike through</s>

Center-

• <center>text or image you want centered</center>

You can also google pretty much any code you need to find. There are a ton of tutorials and online resources dedicated to helping people figure out the vast mystery world of HTML and coding, such as W3Schools.com and books like HTML for Dummies!
