The Text Wizard will accept simple HTML codes. Your website may benefit from using text effects, such as bold and italics, or symbols, such as bullets. These highlight information and guide your viewer's eye to important points of interest. You may also add links using HTML to areas other than the News & Links section.

Directions:
1. Copy the code from an example provided below.
2. Paste the example into your Text Wizard exactly as shown.
3. Replace the BLUE example text with your own text.
4. Save the entry and go to your website to be sure that it is showing as intended.
Important: Be sure you never accidentally erase any of the code, including the carrots < and > and any quotation marks.

• All HTML code is highlighted in RED and should not be removed or altered in any way. It will be invisible on your website.
• Example text, shown in BLUE, should be replaced with your own text.
• Symbol codes can simply be copied and pasted directly into your Text Wizard. They will show up on your website as symbols.

A Word of Caution : We do not provide assistance for HTML. Codes can cause errors on your website if entered incorrectly - a page might lose its layout or go missing entirely. The good news is, this is not permanent. You can simply erase the code and try again, so feel free to experiment!

Our staff is available to enter codes for you at our normal text entry fee of $25/hour.

BOLD:
<b>EXAMPLE TEXT</b>

ITALICS:
<i>EXAMPLE TEXT</i>

BOLDED ITALICS:
<b><i>EXAMPLE TEXT</i></b>

LINKS:
<a href="http://www.EXAMPLEDOMAIN.COM">EXAMPLE LINK</a>

Notes about Links:

• The code for links is invisible. In the above example, the only thing showing on your website would be EXAMPLE LINK. Nothing else is visible, including exampledomain.com.

• The actual destination of a link is determined by the EXAMPLEDOMAIN.COM address located in the invisible code.

• The EXAMPLE LINK text does not need to be an actual web address. It can be anything you want. Often websites say Click Here, but you can also include links in the body of a sentence.

For example: "Welcome to my website. View my Portfolio!"

In your Text Wizard, this sentence would look like this:
Welcome to my website. View my <a href="http://www.portfolio.com">Portfolio</a>!

• Unlike text effects, creating a link requires two steps. You must include both an address in the code (EXAMPLEDOMAIN.COM) and the text for your visible link (EXAMPLE LINK).

Notes about Symbols:

• To use a symbol, simply copy the code in red and paste it directly into your Text Wizard.

• Use symbols with caution. Not all browsers recognize all of them.

• The Internet does not recognize multiple spaces together, such as the double space normally used between sentences. Similarly, a tab at the beginning of a paragraph must be created using multiple Space codes.

It is possible to add an image using the Text Wizard. However, this is more complex in nature than the codes above because any image visible online must first be actively hosted on a server. Thus, you must be able to get your image online and be able to ascertain what that image's specific address is. Unless you feel very comfortable with HTML codes and image hosting, we do not recommend inserting images. However, we have provided the code for the adventurous.

IMAGE:
<img src="http://www.EXAMPLEIMAGEADDRESS.COM">

For the very daring, you can try to link to another website using an image instead of text. This is accomplished by combining the LINK and IMAGE codes.

IMAGE LINK:
<a href="http://www.EXAMPLEDOMAIN.COM"><img src="http://www.EXAMPLEIMAGEADDRESS.COM"></a>

Good Luck!
