Simple Blogger Codes: How To Use Them

Hi, everyone. Are you a blogger fan? Do you really love blogging? Or do you just planning to be a blogger? Well here is a good place for you to begin with. Blogging or being a blogger is a beautiful thing that can happen to someone, especially when you love doing it. Even though blogging comes with a lot of stress, hardworks, dedication, time consumption and lots of emotion, it becomes so sweet when mastered and best of all, get people to comment on your posts and credit your hard works.

But blogging might be something strange and annoying for staters, especially those that have little or no knowledge about blogger codes and tricks.

So for that reason I have taken my time to create this post to help young bloggers who have the zeal to become great bloggers but have problems with writing and understanding blogger codes and tricks to their posts.

Now let us go straight to business. In this post I will be sharing with you what I call Simple Blogger Tricks which can be used in any blogspot whatsoever, be it Wordpress, etc. I have them in categories for easy understanding:
• Text Formatting,
• Color Formatting,
• Line Formatting,
• URL Formatting and
• Positioning.
Without wasting time, let's go straight to business.

• TEXT FORMATTING

- BOLD texts: <*b>TEXT<*/b>
- Italics: <*em>TEXT<*/em>
- Strikethrough: <*strike>TEXT<*/strike>
- Underlined: <*u>TEXT<*/u>
- Breaks: <*br/>TEXT
- Paragraphs: <*p>TEXT<*/p>
- Header: <*h1>TEXT<*/h1>
NOTE: • '1' in the 'Header' code can be replaced with '2', '3', '4', etc. i.e 'h2', 'h3',... The higher the number, the larger/smaller the text (that depends on the CSS code used by that site).
• Breaks are used to arrange texts in new lines, more like bulletings, making texts overlap each other in a paragraph.
• Paragraphs are also used to arrange texts in new lines, but this time create an entirely new group of texts different from the previous texts. Work just like paragraphs in essays.

• COLOR FORMATTING

- To change the COLOR of a text: <*color-CLR>TEXT<*/color>
- To change the Background Color of a text: <*bgcolor-CLR>TEXT
NOTE: • CLR means the name of the color you want. To apply eg blue, black, red, etc.

• LINE FORMATTING

- To draw a straight line

---

<*hr/>
- To edit line color

---

<*hr color="CLR"/>
- To edit line width

---

<*hr width="NUM%"/>
- To edit line size

---

<*hr size="NUM"/>

• URL FORMATTING

- To share a site link: <*a href="http://URL">TEXT<*/a> e.g to share FACEBOOK link, <*a href="http://www.facebook.com">TEXT<*/a>
- To insert an image or video in your post: <*img src="URL" />

• POSITIONING

- LEFT: <*left>ITEM<*/left>
-

CENTER: <*center>ITEM<*/center>
- RIGHT: <*right>ITEM<*/right>
• NOTE: Item could be image URL, video URL or text.

And that's it! Yes! We are done! But one thing I want you to put in mind is that when using these codes, all '*' signs should be removed. I had to include them so that you can see the codes because if not, they would be applied automatically.

And to top it all, it gets more interesting when you use two or more codes at the same time for just an item. YES! IT IS POSSIBLE! For example, to get this text you will need to combine both the 'underlined' code and the 'bold' code just like this: <*u><*b>this text<*/b><*/u>. If you want you can make a strike through on the same text. But you need to be careful! Take note of the pattern I wrote the 'dual' codes. It is the code you open first (<*css> ) that you close last (<*/css> ). If you try the above code like this: <*u><*b>this text<*/u><*/b> it won't work. It will give you an error.

WOW! So I hope with this few tricks I have been able to help you in a way. Have a nice time here and, happy blogging!
