Blogging 102 Breaks

Peg over at www.pegspot.blogspot.com wants to know how to put a blank line in HTML. She noticed that actually putting a blank line in the code doesn't do anything. I noticed that when I first started, too. I found the answer by using a little trick that Elliot over at www.lifeintheusa.com taught me. When you want to see how something is done on a web page, right click on the page and choose View Source. Then scroll down to some words you recognize and see how they coded it. That's how I found two ways to put a blank line in: < br > or < p >. Note: There are no spaces before and after the br and before and after the p, I just put those in so it wouldn't create blank lines. Thanks for the question, Peg!

Thanks, Marianne!

Now I feel smart, cuz while I waited for your response, I already figured out the < br > by my own little self! Yay, Peg!

Didn't know that < p > would do the same thing tho - thanks again!

PS I just changed my blog to make comments moderated, after I got a comment with a link to a sex toys website (!). Can't remember if you've addressed this issue yet or not, but it might be worth a word in the future. I hated to do it, but I hate worse to have pornography on my blog!
