Blog Html Tags For Enhancing Your Blog With Ease
HTML is an acronym for HyperText Markup Language and is the primary language that is used for the creation of almost everything that is published on the World Wide Web. And this list includes blogs. Before we get to how HTML is used in blogs, let's learn some basic HTML terminology.
Please note. In all instances below where you see a '*' operator, replace it with a '<' to make the html tag/s functional.
A HTML tag is a piece of code that is used to tell the browser the way in which it should modify the text that is included within the label. It is often included by coders and web designers. It has a start label (like *label>) and an ending label (like */label>) and the text to be modified is inserted between these labels. What follow are some basic blog HTML tags that help in formatting one's blog and presenting it well.
Basic Formatting Tags *b>text*/b>
*strong>text*/strong>
These tags are used for highlighting text by displaying it in a bold font. For example, *b>This is HTML for Blogs*/b> or *strong>This is HTML for Blogs*/strong> will yield 'This is HTML for Blogs'.
- *u>text*/u>
This tag is used for highlighting text by underlining it. For example, **u>This is HTML for Blogs*/u> will yield 'This is HTML for Blogs'.
- *i>text*/i>
This tag is used for highlighting text by displaying it in italics. For example, *i>This is HTML for Blogs*/i> will yield 'This is HTML for Blogs'
- *strike>text*/strike>
This tag is used for highlighting text by giving it a strikethrough effect. For example, **strike>This is HTML for Blogs*/strike> will yield 'This is HTML for Blogs'
- *center>text*/center>
This tag centers the text that is entered between the **strike> and */strike> labels.
Links
- *a href="url">link title*/a>
This tag produces a basic link that once clicked will lead the user to the 'url', which is the page that is being linked to. 'Link title' is the words that one wants the link to say. - *a href="mailto:EMAIL">*/a>
This tag produces an e-mail link where 'EMAIL' is the e-mail address that is being linked to. Heading Tags - *h1>text*/h1>
This tag indicates a very important heading. - *h2>text*/h2>
This tag indicates a slightly less important heading. - *h3>text */h3>
This tag indicates a less important heading again. - *h6>text */h6>
This tag indicates a very non-important heading. Image Tags
- *img src="url">
This tag is the basic image tag that is used to link to an image or picture that is available on the Internet. In the above tag, 'url' specifies the URL of the image that is being linked to.
-*img src="url" width="200? height="150?>
This tag is used for linking to an image. It differs from the previous tag in that this offers options for resizing the image. The width and height options are used to specify the resizing dimensions.
-*img src="name" align=left>
This tag can be used in cases where the image needs to be aligned to the left.
-*img src="name" align=right>
This tag can be used in cases where the image needs to be aligned to the right. -*img src="url" alt="short description of image">
This tag is used to create what is known as an alt tag. An alt tag tells the reader what they are missing if the image doesn't load in their browser. The alt field can be used to specify a description of the user's choice.
-*img border="1? src="url">
This tag can be used incase one requires a border around the image. The larger the number in the border field the thicker is the border. - *img src="url" hspace=10 vspace=10> */
This tag creates some room around the image. The field 'hspace' is the horizontal space and 'vspace' is the vertical space. The numbers are the amount of pixels surrounding the image. Equipped with these basic HTML tags, a user can perform all basic operations that are required for a blog.
