If you were wondering why I don't have a new links page that I try to create about every 7 days or so. The reason for this is I spent 1/2 hour to 45 minutes creating a Links page for you and the system ate it leaving no trace. I sort of should have created a copy because this isn't the first time this has happened to me here at blogger.com. However, I didn't and so far I haven't had time to create a new one for you to find what articles have been read the most at my site over the last week or so.
The reason it takes so long to create a links page is that I have to create the page in HTML.
The blank template looks something like this before I put in the actual link text names and the URLs:
Here is more HREF blank code to make more links pages for you
<p> </p>
<a href="url">link text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="url">link text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="url">link text</a>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<a href="url">link text</a>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<a href="url">link text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="url">link text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="url">link text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="url">link text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="url">link text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="url">link text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="url">link text</a>
<p> </p>
However, to actually use this template in HTML you would have to convert it to an actual HTML links page because it isn't in that format right now because it is in compose at blogger.com.
I like the orderliness of how I organize and think better with the coding template organized in this way. it's easier to think about when it's orderly for me and not just a relatively infinite line of code all jumbled up forever along a page of code.
HREF coding like this creates links in your completed links page eventually.
Hints for speeding up creation of your HTML links pages:
First use your Edit "Copy" and Paste to copy link text names and URLs. What I personally do is go to the actual page as it appears printed out at my site. Then I copy the name of the article into the "link text" areas by grabbing it by blueing it out and copying it directly to the Html page. Then I do the same for URLs until the page is completed. Then I test the page to make sure it works.
However, this last time (and a couple of times before along the way) the system ate my links page leaving no trace behind. Because of this if you make a links page (or any page in HTML) it's good to make a copy of it before you save it and finish it because this can and does happen sometimes. So, any time you copy an HTML page and save it permanently you want a copy. So, let's say you are going to save your copy because it already ate it once. Make a copy of your copy and give it a different title name so it distinguishes from the original so if it eats it again you still have a copy of your work intact.
