How do I make a descent blog or normal site?
I’m going to teach you how to make a descent blog and/or a normal site!
Making a blog is pretty simple you just sign-up and you’ve got a blog! Than all you got to do is post the stuff you want to post. The big downside is that if you don’t know anything about coding in HTML, It can be difficult to make some custom stuff (stuff that’s different from the premade gadgets. I think those premade things don’t really have a purpose).
Making Click-able Links
I used Blogger to get my Rune Scape blog, but I wanted to make some sort of menu (not the archive). They don’t give you premade menu’s so you’ll have to come up with something yourself. Than the most simple thing you can do is put (click-able)links in the normal HTML gadget. how do you make (click-able)links you may ask… OK put the following code inside the HTML:
<a href=”http://whatever.com”>click here!</a>
Then put the link inside the quotes after ”href=”
You can put something else in place of the “click here!” It doesn’t really matter, you could also leave it blank then the actual link will be shown…
Changing Font Size and Color
OK, now we got that sorted out, there’s something else: changing font size and color. This is not that difficult but you need to know what to use and how:
<font color=”green”><font size=”green”>your text</font>
This piece of code is pretty straightforward: ” your text ” will be green and re-sized to ”4”.
I you only want to make the text green and don’t want to re-size then you’ll have to use this code:
<font color=”green”>your text</font>
You can also put other colors in there but only things like red,Green or blue. don’t put things in there like ” light blue ” or something: it won’t work, that’s because Green, for example, is a pre-coded color. stuff like light blue isn’t coded in. Than you’ll have to use other codes, which I will talk about later on…
If you only want to re-size use this code:
<font size=”4″>your text</font>
Custom Colors
If you don’t like the pre-coded colors you could mix colors yourself: you will be able to every color there is!
use this code:
<font color=”#005cB9″>your text</font>
The strange code ”#005cB9″ is your custom color. The numbers you see are hexadecimal triplets representing the colors red, green and blue (which are used to mix/make every color there is on this planet. Look at your printer: it has a cartridge with three colors: red, green and blue). you could play with these codes or search on Google for HTML color codes or hexadecimal triplets (Wikipedia has a table with all possible colors and their codes, I use this all the time!)
example: the code of the color red is: FF0000, which means ‘255′ red, ‘0′ green, ‘0′ blue.
Tables
to make tables, use this code:
<table border=”1″>
<tr>
<td>row 1, cell 1</td>
<td>row 1, cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row 2, cell 1</td>
<td>row 2, cell 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
the number at ” table border ” means how big (in pixels i guess) the border of the table has to be: use ‘0′ and there will be no border. further explanation is inside the code.
If you want to make more cells just ad another ” –
“.
same goes for the rows: copy and paste it behind the
OK that was some simple, but use full HTML!
PS: If your site is about HTML or if you’re making Tut’s just like this one use this site to display HTML code in HTML:
the above site is not mine…
