Tuesday's Tips -Formating Comments

Today's tip is on formating comments.  Have you ever wondered how to include bold or italics in your comment? Or a link? Here is a three part tutorial that will answer those questions!

This is what your comment looks like to start off:

This is your comment that you want to post.  Now this is the part you want to bold.  This section you want to be italic. This is the text that you want linked to your blog. =D

1.) Bolding Comment Text
All you need to do is add:

<b>text that you want to bolden here</b> 

If you put that in your comment this is what it will look like:

This is your comment that you want to post.  <b>Now this is the part you want to bold.</b>  This section you want to be italic. This is the text that you want linked to your blog. =D

2.) Italicizing Text
To make text italicized all you need to do is add this little bit of code:

<i>text that you want ti italicize here</i>

Put that in your comment and this is what it looks like:

This is your comment that you want to post.  <b>Now this is the part you want to bold.</b>  <i>This section you want to be italic.</i> This is the text that you want linked to your blog. =D

3.) Linking Text 
Here is the bit of code you need to link text:

<a href="YOUR BLOG URL HERE">the text that you want to link</a>

 *NOTE: you cannot add target attributes to links in comments 

Now this is what it will look like in your comment:

This is your comment that you want to post. <b>Now this is the part you want to bold.</b> <i>This section you want to be italic.</i> <a href="YOUR BLOG URL HERE">This is the text that you want linked to your blog.</a> =D

Understanding the Code(s)
Do you want to understand a little bit more about the codes you are using? Read on!

<i> or <b> or <a> is letting blogger know that this is the beginning of an italicized, bolded, or hyper-linked area.  Basically it is letting blogger know that it is going to have to do something special for the following text.

</i> or </b> or </a> is telling blogger that that is the end of the italicized, bolded, or hyper-linked area.  Telling blogger that that is the end of the special text.

Saturday's Scrawls

It is cold. It is gray. There is freezing rain outside. Customers are gone.  I'm tired. An hour left before I can go home.  History essay yet to be written.  Algebra II yet to be solved.  PE yet to be done.  German yet to be learned.  Bathroom yet to be cleaned.  --but you know what?

Scrawl 1.)

I still have Hope. 

why you ask? because...

 You are always with me, Jesus

You know everything about me

You know when I wake and sleep

You know everything I’m thinking

You know all my secret deeds

You know every word I say

Long before I say it

You know everywhere I go

And all my ways

You are always with me, Jesus

Where could I go?

Where could I hide?

You are always with me, Jesus

Where could I go?

You never leave my side

If I flew away to heaven

Jesus, there I would find You

If I sank into the ocean

Jesus, You would be there too

Even in the darkest night

To You it’s bright as day

You have laid Your hand on me

It’s wonderful

  

You are always with me, Jesus

Where could I go?

Where could I hide?

You are always with me, Jesus

Where could I go?

You never leave my side

You Are Always with Me by Mark Altrogge from the Awesome God album

Thank you for always being with me, Jesus!

Scrawl 2.) a quote I came across this past week:

"You can't live for God until you learn how to live because of God. And you can't go and make good choices for God until you understand the gospel that says the choices you make don't make you who are, what Christ has done for you makes you who you are." Mike Donehey

Scrawl 3.) I discovered two websites this past week:

 pandora

Listen to up to 40 hours of music for free each month! =D You get to create stations based on songs or artists that you like. There are ads that show up every once in a while, but I have not come across any negative ones. You can also skip songs that you dislike and 'like' songs that you like so that it will play them again.  =)

polyvore

Find me on Polyvore

Does this have the possibility of becoming a time waster and a procrastinator's tool---yup! 

Have a spectacular Saturday, friends! 

Love in Christ,

the Sweetness of Life

Joining up with Ara over at Shilah!




Things that make my life sweet...

1.)  Neighbors who stop by to scoop your driveway because they know your dad is away on business(that way you don't have to scoop it all by hand!).  =D

2.)  Sunshine lighting up icicles until they sparkle. 

3.)  Reading a book late at night by the warm woodstove.  

4.)  Dancing until you're breathless! 

5.)  Singing the same song all day long. =D

6.)  Smelling homemade bread in the oven. 

7.)  Sunshine!

8.)  Laughing out loud for no reason at all.

9.)  New books arriving in the mail.

10.)  A God who is always there. 

Love in Christ,

Tuesday's Tips -Removing the State Label Box

This is a very short and easy tutorial on how to remove that anoying little state label box.

What is the label state box, you ask? Recognize this thing?

This is what shows up at the top of the posting area when you search a blog for a certain label.

A very simple piece of code will remove that box completely.

1.) Go to your dashboard> design> edit HTML
     
2.) Scroll down or search for this little piece of code:

]]></b:skin>

     
3.) Right above that code past this one:

.status-msg-wrap {display:none;}

     
4.) Save your changes and voila! the label state box has disappeared! =D

Have a terrific Tuesday!
