Tips & Tricks: Adding Life to Your Blog Comments

Whenever you post a comment to a blog on blogspot.com, you may have noticed that it says "You can use some HTML tags, such as <b>, <i>, <a>." So what does this mean? It's geek for "bold", "italics", and "link". They are actually called "tags" and you need a beginning tag and an ending tag.

For example, if you wanted to say: "Hey Hucklebuck, that was a great post!". You would type:

Hey Hucklebuck, that was a <b>great</b> post!

Or if you wanted to italicize something, you might type:

Hey Hucklebuck, you are <i>so</i> cool!

The last one is a little different, but still very simple. Say you wanted to post a link to Google with the text "Click here to go to my favorite site". You would do it like this:

<a href="http://www.google.com">Click here to go to my favorite site</a>

That's it for this post. I've got several more ideas, but if you have any computer topics you'd like me to blog about, please send me an e-mail at scl.hucklebuck@gmail.com.
