Updates and HTML

[ladymercury_10]

 It took me an obscenely long time, but I now know how to work hyperlinks in HTML.  I am now having a field day with them.  

I've imported about half my fic to the AO3, where I am also ladymercury_10.  I also put a drabble up on Teaspoon that apparently I wrote a year ago and never uploaded.  I'll continue with the AO3 import...at some point--thanks to everyone who explained how to do it!

And because I'm still starry-eyed about my newfound HTML abilities, and because I joined docwholand (Team Dalek!) and had to make a sig tag, look at the (no doubt amateurish)  graphic I made!  The cap is from Sonic Biro and I did the editing in Picnik.

That is an admirable skill! I like the font on your tag, it's pretty. :)

Thank you! I did the editing in Picnik, so the fonts are theirs. The all-caps lacy one is Monbijoux, and the cursive one is Santos Dumont. Apparently they were both designed by someone called Billy Argel?

so many hyperlinks! Man, I wish I understood them. I used to, but then I forgot.
and your graphic looks lovely :) What'd you make it in?

I would explain how to do hyperlinks but then LJ would just convert the html and you wouldn't be able to see it. :/

And thank you! I made it in picnik.

usually when explaining html people shove in spaces or quotes or some symbol in a place it does not belong
for example,

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<i.>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

for example, <i.>this</i> without the periods makes italics. hmm, I've just found out if you mess it up once, it won't do html anymore! <i>like so</i>! How weird.

Okay, then, I will trick LJ by putting in borked html so I can show you how to hyperlink. Here is some bad code:

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<i.>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

And here is some nicer code.

<a href="full text of your link, including http:// at beginning">text you want link to appear as</a>

TEAM DALEK FTW!! Tis a kickass banner, lovie!! *Is proud of you* Sonic Biro has the BEST caps, don't they?

*hugs*

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yes, I love Sonic Biro, although sometimes I wish they had more caps. *is picky and wants the cap that came a second between the ones they posted* Heh.

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

You too, huh? They always seem to catch every other cap and make you squeal with want for the ones they DIDN'T catch, lol! But they still have the best caps, I'll give 'em that!

I'm enjoying the amount of hyperlinks in this post.

Haha, I think I ended up doing most of them in the rich text editor using the nice little hyperlink button. But I did have to do a bunch manually when I was importing to the AO3.
