I was wondering why I couldn't using the edit function move a URL from a page to the HTML links page.
What I found out is that now for some reason you have to wait to click on where it says "Link" (putting a purple or blue line through it) on the HTML page until after you have grabbed the URL or else it won't allow you to copy it to the HTML page.
I'm not at all sure why this is now the case but it wasn't that way before now. It might be that it is a way to encourage bloggers to use a link instead of a URL for their readers when bloggers quote since most readers might not know how to use a URL to actually find an article. This is what I'm presently thinking in regard to blogging here at blogger.com (blogspot).
It also encourages me whenever possible to copy a link to my webpages for readers to more easily find the source article because all readers usually know how to access a link by clicking on it.
When I build a links page I usually start with a template rather than writing the code down for myself because it is too time consuming. also, you can duplicate code also with your edit function by simply copying many lines of blank code at a time by drawing a purple or blue line through it and then pasting multiple blank lines of code directly into your HTML page.
However, the way you actually know if you are in an html page and not "compose" is that you will see writing in red, green blue and black. This is what tells you that you are actually in a real HTML page where you can build a links page. Also the lines vertically are numbered down the left side of the page.
This is what blank links code looks like:
<p> </p>
<a href="link">text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="link">text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="link">text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="link">text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="link">text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="link">text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="link">text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="link">text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="link">text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="link">text</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="link">text</a>
<p> </p>
of course this is a "compose" version of the code if it were in an html format you would see blue, red, green and black print and you would see numbers on the left side of the page. So, this is just the code but not in a real html format with colors and numbers otherwise.
