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.

< small > without spaces like this and to stop it do this < / small > without the spaces again like this

you can also do BOLD < b > and italic < i >

Hey, there! Sorry to bother. (:
I wanted to ask if those little thumbnails in the picture description (random example just in case I confuse you [link] <- those lil puppies below) are a part of HTML codes? Sorry if it's already said in the tutorial. I'm really not familiar with this programming language!

PandaProjectile In reply to LadyAnete [2011-08-10 02:34:48 +0000 UTC]

Oh that? That's for premium members. Since I'm not a premium member it's very likely I won't cover it till that happens.

flexdaw In reply to ??? [2011-08-09 19:21:42 +0000 UTC]

This is:
Helpful, it follows the other html i learned from myspace by messing around.

But, can you change font size in comments? the heading doesn't work in previews, so i assume it wont work in a comment.

Example:

H1

H6


Here is a size 5 font And like you said this doesn't work in DA.
