This is My Own Personal Cheat Sheet.. that I have to pull out on occasion. As I have stated MANY times I have a basic working knowledge of html and getting better at php. If I can do this- SO CAN YOU!

How to Link an Image to Page

How to add alt text , add

alt="BigFoot Web Marketing Home Page"

as in

<a href="http://www.bigfootwebmarketing.com"><img src="bigfoot.gif" <strong>alt="BigFoot Web Marketing Home Page</strong>"</a>

displaying code on blog (so it won’t follow command, but display the actual code)

<textarea rows=4 cols=50>PLACE CODE HERE BETWEEN THE TAGS</textarea>

to get this
<span class="caps">PLACE CODE HERE BETWEEN THE TAGS</span>

You can play around with the rows= and cols=

Get rid of blue border around active images ( blue border that is around an image when it is linked to something)
add border="0" to img src artrribute, as below.

<a href="www.bigfootwebmarketing.com"><img src="bigfoot.gif" width="" height="" alt="BigFoot Web Marketing Home Page" border="0" </a>

You can also use: style="border-style: none within image attributes, as below
<a href="www.bigfootwebmarketing.com"><img src="bigfoot.gif" width="" height="" alt="BigFoot Web Marketing Home Page" style="border-style: none" </a>

This is not meant as a primer.. I just add things that I used to forget and sometimes still have to think for a second.

A site I started using in 1996 was HTML Goodies, and it is still around. It has some basic primers for NEW to HTML and if you can do first couple of chapters you on on your way. Take an hour of your time to learn- great investment of your time.
