experiment with creating a link from HTML code

Yesu

Arcane becomes a Dragon

If you are a blogger at blogger.com (blogspot) you can copy the above links to compose and then click on "HTML" to see what I did coding wise to create the above "Arcane becomes a Dragon" link. This way you can create your own links if Google won't let you have them directly regarding your site or another one. All you need is a URL to generate a Link and using the code and a name you want to call your link. But, you have to write it in HTML to do this and then you can after you write it go back to "compose" and save it and see if it works right.


NOTE: If you are in Chrome you don't have to do this or be a blogger at all to see how I generated the code. Just go up in Chrome to "View" then scroll back down to "developer" then slide over to "View Source" and see if that shows you what the code looks like if you want to see it.

However, when I looked at it I was pretty confused by it because it appears that not only this article is displayed in the source but also everything on the main web page too. So, this becomes more difficult to unravel since a good part of it is generated in Java which I don't understand at all from the Artificial intelligence encoders at blogger.com

Later: But, if you don't load the Yesu link in HTML and only the "Arcane becomes a dragon" link, you can easily figure out how to do this in HTML which is a greater than symbol, lower case a, h. r. e.f. (no periods) then an equal sign followed by quotation marks followed by http. and the rest of the URL you want to convert to a link or word button. After html or htm it is quotation marks, lesser than symbol, then the name you name your link that you want displayed, then greater than symbol, backslash symbol, lower case a and lesser than symbol.

This should create a link or word button from any URL you find or have at your site. And I also found you can do this direct into a "compose site" but after you type it in the code likely will disappear eventually but will still create a link when you save it. Because this is how the "compose" site works. to double check your work if the code disappears into compose simply click the "HTML" button to check your work. IF you do the code (exactly like I did with "Arcane becomes a Dragon" it should work for you in HTML it should work.

HTML simply means Hypertext markup language and was the first computer language used on the worldwide web.



HTML was designed first, then Java was an afterthought along with all the other versions of online code. So, when I first taught myself HTML it was just by viewing the source of a Yahoo page in 1995 and experimenting with a saved page of Yahoo until I understood what different things did. If you can program in one computer language it is pretty easy to learn another one. It is all about understanding the structure of all computer languages at core. There are things they all have in common. Once you master this you can then learn any computer language once you have mastered what computer languages are for and what they are doing and how they are doing it.
