HTML Workshop FYI

Message 238 of 2659

Welcome! It's Great to Have You Here!

The HTML workshop was started way back by LeeInFl. There's been many changes in the group and on Eons since that time. And now there are more changes! The HTML Workshop has merged with "Creating a Web Page" and "CSS Web Design" which are now private sister groups.

Everyone is welcome to discuss all areas of website creation here in the Workshop. Feel free to post tips, trick or techniques. We'd love to hear what works for you. If you have some links to tutorials, online tools, how-to's, or other great sites, we'd love for you to share them.

We can even discuss Eons, LOL. The replies in this sticky will include some Basic HTML Tags that can be used on Eons. If you have any questions about how to use the tags, just ask. We love to help!

Your ideas, tips and suggestions to improve the group are very welcome. Also, if you have a question or a problem, just post and we'll see if we can help! Let's have some fun as we learn!

These are examples from Bluesplayers FAQ file view link Each tag will have a beginning and ending tag enclosed by the less < and > symbols The ending tag also has a slash mark at the front. </

To use the tags, just place the text you want styled between the two tags:

1. Tags That Change Text

...
makes the text bold between the opening tag and the closing tag.

...

More from Bluesplayer's FAQ file:

<center>...</center>
centers anything between the opening tag <center> and the closing tag </center>.

<hr>
draws a horizontal line (rule) between sections of text. We use this in the Workshop Announcement.

will move the text to the next line.

TEXT FOR A PARAGRAPH will create a paragraph

I've rewritten some of this from the FAQ file to update it a bit:

3. Tags That Create Links

If you post a direct URL in a message or PM, the Eons message Editor will create a hyperlink and display the words, "View Link". However, you can use the HTML anchor tags to create a link from your own choice of words.

<a href="DIRECT URL">...The NAME of your link...</a>

will establish a clickable link to a webpage, picture, video, etc. located elsewhere on the internet. When you use this tag, Eons will display the custom name that you entered in the tag for the link on your page or in your post/PM. Example:

Have you been to the HTML Workshop lately?

<a href="DIRECT LINK TO WHERE YOU WANT THEM TO GO"><img src="IMAGE LINK"></a>

will establish a clickable link to a webpage, picture, video, etc. located elsewhere on the internet. When you use this tag, Eons will display the GRAPHIC that you entered in the IMG tag for the link on your page or in your post/PM. Example:

If you click on the button, it will take you to the home page.

If you have questions or something is not clear, don't hesitate to post. We'll help you until you're comfortable with it yourself.

More to come a little later!

Hi, shoeshoe!

If you are wanting to send graphics through email (Not eons private messages), your email program would have to be one that allowed you to embed graphics.

For instance, I have an email account with google - gmail. You can set up your gmail account so that you can send images embedded in your emails. However, you aren't able to simply copy code from graphics sites and paste it in. They have their own way of doing it.

Did you tell the folks in the other posts you made what email program you use to send emails to friends? All email programs are different in what they allow you to do. Even the ones that have it set up so that you can send images do it differently from other email programs. That's why folks keep asking you questions.

So, what email program do you use to send email?
