HTML Bits Sticky Post

This post is also the first post - did you see, I made it a sticky post by putting the text into a text module!

HTML Bits is about the little bits of code you might forget.

I'm only a novice with HTML - I know that we have moved on, (well, at least every one else has), to using XHTML and style sheets, as well as JAVA. Well, I don't know much about all the tech stuff, I'll admit, but the point here is not to try and teach you HTML, but just to keep my notes of the HTML that I do need.

In true form, I find that the same stuff I need to remember, is the same stuff my friends always ask me about.

Things like; How do you structure a simple URL link code in a web page or blog, so that it displays in the mouse hover over pop-up when you hover over some text?

How do you make a URL link open the link in a new tab, when visitors left click on your hyper-text link?

How do you make a link no-follow, and why)?

I know these and other questions may be basic to those geeks that can speak techno, but for geeks like me, even when I find out how to do something, I can never remember how to do it again if I don't use it all of the time. Also, even if I write it down, I cannot locate the info when I need it.

I needed to show a friend No-Follow today, (I do know how to do it), its just that I was not sure on the exact position and layout of the code. I don't want to mess-up someones blog or website, so I had to say I'll tell them later.

To this end, I've started this blog, mainly for myself so that I have a place to keep all my bits of code.

However, now you can benefit too, if your are unsure of the code. Be careful, I might make the odd mistake or two, so I want to say now, If anything goes wrong with the information I show you anywhere on this blog, I don't want to be held responsible.

Use this info at your own risk! But, if it is here, it worked for me, simple as that!

Happy and safe coding!

Site design ideas

Hi! Looking for site design ideas? Need a bit of inspiration for the look and feel? If so, take a look at this site which has a list of snapshots from sites of all different types of design and genre.

 http://vandelaydesign.com/blog/galleries/inspirationalnavigation-menus/
http://vandelaydesign.com/

If the link does not work, try searching vandelaydesign.com for design, menus and WP Themes.

When you click the links on the site gallery, (in most cases), you are taken to that particular site with that design. So, you can see an exact use, not just 'a-design-idea'. Also checkout their right hand sidebar links for more ideas.

Its great for design ideas, but not as helpful as to give you exact links to where you can find the exact WP / HTML code to actually import and use the designs yourself. (And this is a little of what I mean about time-wasting sites, where you spend hours searching for designs, and find some stuff that you'd like to use;  but then, there are no links to give it to you). It is annoying!

My best advice here, is to find what you want design wise and if you are not able to implement the work yourself, go to Elance.com or Rent-a-Coder.com and contract the work out to someone.

You will only pay for results, if you know what you want and can show images and give detail for the content on your website.

This post is a continuation of stuff I was looking at, when I was looking for new menus a while ago, (go and see an older post about links to a menus resource site).
