The HTML Campfire

The HTML Campfire

Gather 'round one and all. New or old, it doesn't matter.
All that should matter is a willingness to have, what may or may not be considered, knowledge bestowed upon anyone willing to learn how in the world all this cool looking stuff happens 'round here.
Let's get started...


Line Break: <br>
When you type <br> at the end of a line of text
This is what happens.

New Paragraph: <p>
When you type <p> at the end of a line of text

This is what happens.

These you need to turn something "on" and "off".

Bold "on" = <b> Bold "off "= </b>
Typing in:
<b>Bold</b> no more bold
Looks like:
Bold no more bold

The rest work the same way

Italic: <i></i>
Italic

Underline: <u></u>
Underline

Strikeout: <s></s>
Strikeout

Center: <center></center>

Center

The recently popular, Superscript: <sup></sup>
th, st, rd

Subscript: <sub></sub>
th, st, rd

Nothing to it right?
Now these require you to enter what you want between the " and ".

Font Size: <font size="?"></font> (?=font sizes; 1-7)
1234567

Font Color: <font color="the color name"></font>
Black
White It's White, trust me it's there (highlight it with your pointer)
Red
Green
Blue
Cyan
Purple
Orange
Yellow
Brown

These rquire you to enter where you want to go between the " and ".

How to post a picture: <img src="?"> (?=the address of the picture)
In this case the picture address is: http://www.freerepublic.com/images/frlogo.gif (It's from the FR home page)
<img src="http://www.freerepublic.com/images/frlogo.gif"> =

Links are a 2 step process. Where you want to go and something for the pointer to "click" on.
Link Something: <a href="?">??</a> (?=the address of the page, ??=something to "click" on)
In this case the page address is: http://www.freerepublic.com/home.htm (the FreeRepublic "home" page)
<a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/home.htm">(the FreeRepublic "home" page)</a> the </a> turns off the link. =
(the FreeRepublic "home" page) the </a> turns off the link.

I will add one thing to your link HTML.

< a href="the url" target="new"> message< /a>

Opens the link in a new window so you don't lose your place on the thread.

NICE BOAR..... We should keep a couple of those alive and feed any captured terrorists to them. That might make them think twice.

Maybe I missed it, how do you post a homemade pic? One that is saved on my hard drive, not web based, without opening up my hard drive to visitors.
