HTML Tutorial
You may have additional pictures and other documents which you would like to
display on BizBB.com. The images and documents do not have to be stored
on the BizBB.com computers in order to display them from the BizBB.com
web site. They can be stored anywhere on the Internet.
You can use HTML code to either display those pictures in-line anywhere
on a BizBB.com bulletin board or to create a link from BizBB.com to those
pictures and documents.
Currently BizBB.com does not store these additional documents on its server.
However, There are many web sites on the Internet which allow you to store
pictures and other documents for free.
A great place to store pictures (for display on BizBB.com) is at PhotoPoint.
Their address is http://www.photopoint.com.
Instructions for transfering your images to PhotoPoint are found at:
http://www.photopoint.com/help/index.html.
Another use for HTML code is to format text.
BizBB.com interprets any text between the symbols <html> and </html> as
HTML.
The most useful HTML code, including examples, follow below:
- To insert an image in-line
<html><IMG SRC="HTTP://ADDRESS_OF_IMAGE"></html>
Example:
<html><IMG SRC="HTTP://www.photopoint.com/images/milk.jpg"></html>
- To insert a link to any Web site:
<html><A HREF="HTTP://ADDRESS_OF_SITE">Text of link</A></html>
Example:
<html><H3><A HREF="HTTP://www.close-outs.net/offers/paint.txt">Click Here For Sample Inventory</A></H3></html>
- To make text bold
<html><B>Text to display as bold</B></html>
Example:
<html><B>To err is human, to forgive divine</B></html>
- To italicize text
<html><I>Text to italicize</I></html>
Example:
<html><I>To err is human, to forgive divine</I></html>
- To underline
<html><U>Text to be underlined</U></html>
Example:
<html><U>To err is human, to forgive divine</U></html>
- To insert a large heading
<html><H1>Text of Heading</H1></html>
- To insert a smaller heading
<html><H2>Text of Heading</H2><html> ( <H3> and <H4> give even smaller headings)
- To get a What You See Is What You Get text, for creating tables
<html><PRE>Text of Your Table </PRE></html>
Example:
<html><PRE>
Quantity Price
-----------------
1-100 $5
100-1000 $2
>1000 FREE!
</PRE></html>
To create a link to an e-mail address
<html><A HREF="mailto:EMAIL_ADDRESS">Text of link</A></html>
Example:
Click <html><A HREF="mailto:johndoe@BizBB.com">HERE</A></html> to mail me.
To change the color of some text
<html><font color=YourFavoriteColor>Text you want a different color</font></html>
Example:
<html><font color=red>To err is human, to forgive divine</font></html>
To insert a link to an image
<html> <A HREF="HTTP://ADDRESS_OF_IMAGE">Text of link</A></html>
Example:
<html> <A HREF="/images/milk.jpg"> * Click Here for PHOTO * </A></html>
