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: 
^{th, st, rd}

Subscript: 
_{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.

Font Size: (?=font sizes; 1-7)Font Color: test

[michigander]

Font Size: (?=font sizes; 1-7)Font Color: test

You typed:
Font Size: <font size=6></font> (?=font sizes; 1-7)Font Color: <font color="red"></font> test

Should have been:
Font Size: <font size=6>(?=font sizes; 1-7)</font> Font Color: <font color="red">test</font>

Font Size: (?=font sizes; 1-7) Font Color: test

The HTML Campfire thread was extremely helpful when I posted This Thread with pictures from my new digital camera this morning. The pics were visible then but now (9:40PM) are not. All anyone sees are Red X's. What's the problem? Are they too big? should I have resized them? How do I prevent this in the future?

[michigander]

They displayed for me just now. With that many images, you may consider just making a "clickable" link to each individual image.
Like this:

<a href="http://image34.webshots.com/34/8/58/64/256685864gmeJml_ph.jpg">Louisville Pouters and Crybabies.</a>

Louisville Pouters and Crybabies.

Your link produces a "FORBIDDEN You don't have permission to access /34/8/58/64/256685864gmeJml_ph.jpg on this server." error message. Maybe I'll try another photo hosting site with higher bandwidth for my next post with pics. I'll also try resizing as well. Thanks for the help

[michigander]

Good luck. :-)

You've been a great deal of help on this thread, and I mean that most sincerely.

Best regards:)
