Wow Vicky, thanks for the lesson. I've known how to use HTML for a long time, but I never knew what the codes and letters stand for.

She said:
"So basically any of the tags work the same
write many watermelony things
say something very ironic
These don't work because there is no watermelon tag or irony tag, so you can see the structure. But if you were to put spoiler, or b (for bold) or i (for italics) where I wrote watermelon or irony, then you'd have a working tag."
great tips.! I just made a button for my blog yesterday and these explanations, explain a lot about the code i used.
So how do I put a picture from my hardrive in a post... as opposed to one off the web somewhere?

Photobucket - http://photobucket.com/
Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/
Picasa (by Google) - https://picasaweb.google.com/
that would explain why I was having trouble then.. huh? Thank you GoodReads Book Fairy!
Wait, are you talking about Blogger? Because there is a way to get it off your h drive.
I'm not a blogger... yet... working on that.
There is still a way! You load your pic on your pictures in your profile (Up by your profile pic,) and load it up there. Then you right click, view image and copy and paste URL into [image error] and walla! It works really well, I do it all the time.
Just get rid of the astrid.
Thank you... I took some pictures of the Blue Angels at an airshow this weekend. I promised some pics.
Does anyone know how to make a link with a name? Sorry if that isn't much of an explanation but it's like a direct link to something or other. Let's say I wanted to make a link to my GR. And I added a direct link to my goodreads but instead of the link it said My Goodreads, green-brown and underlined, like on post number 4, what Cheryl did! Anyone know?

Sorry, not sure this is the right place to ask my question. But I have recently found that the like button on my reviews have disappeared. I usually could click on it to see how many people had liked my reviews. Do you know how I can get that back.I think this is happening on my more recent reviews.
Thank you.

The HTML tag always has to be enclosed within the inequality symbols "<" and ">." Example: <b> for bold, <i> for italic, <u> for underline.
Using bold as an example:
Typing <b> opens the HTML tag, or tells the browser "from here on out, I want my text to be bold."
Unless you want everything else you type in that post to be bold you have to tell the browser by closing the tag. To close a tag you use "/" within the inequality symbols - </b>.
Links and images are a little different (this is where it might get a little confusing!).
The HTML string for links is <a href=""> </a>.
The "a" is the anchor tag - called because it "anchors" two things together. Just like an anchor "links" your boat with the sea floor, it links your text to a URL.
The "href" (which stands for hypertext reference) is an attribute of the "a" tag, which is why you only the "a" is closed at the end of the HTML string.
Images are similar - to insert an image you use <img src="imagelink.jpg"> where "img" is the tag and "src" (standing for source) is a link to (or the source of!) the image you want to share. When closing the tag, you only have to type </img>.
To put this into more everyday terms... say I have a ball pit, and I want to take out blue ball to play with.
I take out a blue ball. <ball color="blue">
I'm done playing with the ball and put it back. </ball>
We already know the ball is blue, so we don't have to say it again.
