Converting HTML quickly so that you can post code.

Hi all,

as you may have seen in the last post, I put up some pretty HTML. In order to do this so that it knows it's just for show, rather than actual code that the browser needs to parse, I found a handy little tool here..

http://www.accessify.com/tools-and-wizards/developer-tools/quick-escape/default.php

that takes the brackets etc. and converts them to escape characters.. for instance < is written as &lt;, and > as &gt;

Just though it may be useful to some of you.

Cheers

Liam

For the Tapestry blog

Hi Tapestry,

here's the code for your template to link to other blogs..


<!-- Beginning of side bar links -->

<br />
<h2>Other Blogs</h2>
<br />
<a href="http://www.theerrorblog.blogspot.com">The Error Blog</a>
<br />




<!-- End of side bar links -->




then scroll down the code in your template untill you get to this bit... (It's about a third of the way down the template code) and put that chunk of code in where I've marked, making sure that it's above the

</div>

tag.


<div class=\'widget-content\'>
<a href="http://umbrellog.blogspot.com/">
<img src="http://www.eureferendum.com/images/umbicon.gif"/>
</a>



.....Code for links goes here.....



</div>





When you want to add more links, then just use the same format for the link..

<a href="the full url including http">The text you want to appear</a>
<br />




and add it underneath the previous one.



Cheers

Liam
