Description Sometimes people ask me: "How did you do that with the link?" or some other random HTML question. I try to answer using the code but it comes out weird because it's via comment and the code is already taking effect. Thus being ineffective.
So I came up with this little piece to help teach some basics about HTML for deviantART and in general. It's a picture because Photoshop doesn't use HTML >w> I would've made this look nicer but I'm tired from today and ready to go to bed so I just added some random doodles.
Yes this is all correct because I do teach HTML in real life and I've learned it myself -.-
If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments and I'll respond in the best way possible.
I may make another one to cover the PLZ accounts briefly and some other things dA has.

EDIT: I really do appreciate all the faves and downloads this has been getting! I never expected it to become so popular, I maybe expected like two or three faves from people I know in real life but of course there's no possible way I know every single person that has given this a fave! I have actually planned on making an updated version of this and the other two so it's a bit better? Not sure how to explain but it'll still be as simple as before! :3

In depth version. Where it can be used and how.

Very cool!!! What about posting thumbnails of a piece of art, like in journal features?

That's for premium members. Being as I don't have premium membership it's likely I won't cover it till I get premium.

When people ask me "How did you do that with the link?" I usually face-desk.
X__X; I always forget that some people can't do what I have considered "obvious" since I was about eleven. Then again, I started making websites at that age just from googling and learning that way.

It's all just SO easy. Yippie for "source codes"!

This knowledge is almost as common as area codes and proper grammar is, today. My kids are going to be able to speak in Python if this keeps up. D:

FaeNocturne In reply to ??? [2011-08-10 03:51:30 +0000 UTC]

This is really good, thanks for the information!

My only question:

Is there any way to use html on deviantart to center align (or center justify, or whatever you call it) your text? For Literature, at least, I've tried using and a couple of other variations but I can't seem to figure it out. Knowing me, it's probably something really simple that I'm missing.

Anyways, thank you for the information about formatting codes, it was very helpful!

PandaProjectile In reply to FaeNocturne [2011-08-10 03:54:02 +0000 UTC]

Well I'll be making another tutorial on how to format a deviation in literature. So once I'm able to to do that I'll upload it and have a link to it as well.
