Featured Friday #3 – HTML conversions
by Linda ~ November 30th, 2007. Filed under: Featured Friday.If you start with blogging you will eventually come to a point where you have to write HTML conversions. What is HTML conversion?
When you want to post a link without making it into a link you need to convert the code so that it doesn’t become a live link but instead the code that you want others to see. This is essential as well if you write tutorials.
Let me show you an example:
I want to show my readers how to post a direct link in the comments instead of having a long link that sometimes is not readable. For them to understand how to write the code I need to write the code myself. But, if I write the code in my blog editor the code will come out as a link and will not show them how to do it.
That is when I need to convert the code. Example: I go to my HTML editor and insert the converted code:
<a href=”http://www.yoursite.com”>Describing Title</a> And afterwards this is what the link will look like: Yoursite
What does the converted code look like? Some parts of it looks like this: < this is really another sign*which for some reason I cannot show you as it doesn’t come out right there*. But instead of having to remember how to write this complicated code you can easily convert the code over at this site. Enter the code I have written on top and you will easily see what I am talking about.
So the next time you need to write converted codes into your blog you can just go to this site and it will convert the code for you in a snap! Handy isn’t it!
Hope you find this tip handy in the future.
