More html

I like to share a bit about what I've learned during working with this blog. Of course it is also a memory for myself, when I'm too lazy to take notes or when I can't find them.

I needed those tags when I wrote the side element about language stuff.

If adding a html-tag you first have to change to "edit Html".

<> gives you a break of lines

< href = "http://link"> Name of the link < /a > This way you can insert a link.

IMPORTANT: You have to remove all spaces before and after the little sideway triangles <> and before and after the = .

Blogging - html- color

Changing the color of a word in the text is easy with the formating tabs given by blogger when writing a new post.

To change the color of one or more words in the title a little html is necessary:

Put the word you want to change in between < color = "xxxxxxx">

and < /font color >

For the xxxxx you have to choose the code from a chart (here is an example). And leave out all spaces. I can't type without the spaces, because due to web technic you won't see the tag.
The blogger software is translating the html in something else I don't know so far.

Google blogger - changing template

Using the template "Minima" a lot of space on the monitor is lost. The very short lines are not good to read.
Finally today I managed to change the width of the posting part. I like it better this way. Hopefully my readers do so too.

Dashboard → Template → Edit HTML
→ change outer wrapper width from 660 to 880 pixel
→ change main wrapper width from 410 to 610 pixel


Get more space for the actual blogging area
→ change outer wrapper width to 990 pixel (done 2009-05-05)
