Welcome to the newest part of Squatty Wisdom! Most people have Friday Funnies or some sort of weekly post. Well, now I do as well. Tutorial Tuesday! On Tutorial Tuesday, I will try to offer step-by-step instructions in areas (particularly, but not limited to, web) that people may find useful. Please, feel free to ask questions.
To kick off the first Tutorial Tuesday, I will cover a common problem.
Links
If editing for your Blogger blog, first look in your Template for this:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://news.google.com/">Google News</a>
</li>
<li><a href="http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=110">
Edit-Me</a>
</li>
<li><a href="http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=110">
Edit-Me</a></li>
</ul>
Now, it is time for a brief lesson. <ul> means an unordered list (bullets). <ol> means an ordered list (1., 2., 3.). <li> means the start of a link. </li> means the end of a link. <a href="URL"> is where you will put the website URL for the link (inside the quotation marks). Now, whatever you type between <a href="URL"> and </a> is the title of the link and will appear on the web page. <a href="url">Text to be displayed</a>
If you want to change the title of your box for your links ("Links" on your blog sidebar), just change the word Links in <h2 class="sidebar-title">Links</h2> to whatever you want to appear.
Want your link to not be underlined?
<a href="URL" style="text-decoration: none;">.
Want your link to open in a new window?
<a href="URL" target="_blank">.
