- I just cannot find any code in any of my modules that have that tag! It was suggested that it may have been from one of my Amazon modules but when I look in there, again, I see no html at all. So how do I find this tag if when I go into edit mode in each module, there is no html other than the hyperlinks I added?

Trekkiemelissa Feb 26, 2010 @ 4:08 pm | delete
- If it is and I think it is, I can't find the problem in the code. Everything looks right. I suggest to file a bug report on this one and see if they can fix it. Also double check your amazon module before doing that though. On where the products are double check you don't have any bold html codes in that section before you do that.

I'm going to go ahead and submit a bug report and cross my fingers someone can help me fix this. You are awesome and I will definitely give 5 stars for your dedication and responsiveness. Thanks again!

- Hey Melissa,
I'm doing the 30 day challenge, and I tried making my first post in squidoo, and creating an html link, but the link that I typed in is not the link that shows up when the post is published
Here is my page: http://www.squidoo.com/strengthandconditioningtraining
When you click the links, they are supposed to go to www.strength-and-conditioning.net
Things I've already tried:
- entered the HTML code by hand instead of copy and pasting
- cleared cache and cookies
Neither one of those worked. Do you have any suggestions?
-
-
-
Trekkiemelissa Dec 21, 2009 @ 9:45 pm | delete

Something that I do and others can do it too. If you see alense that has a feature you like in regards to creating interesting stuff in modules, view the source code of the page and then scroll down to the particular article or module ans see how it was done. Most times you can figure it out. Then you can play with modifying it to suit your lens.

- Yes thanks I did read about that and my image is hosted on flickr.
I was able to make my image clickable, I just wasn't able to do it when I use the upload box.
So if I don't upload anything to the box it won't (the box) show up on the page is that correct? By the way thank you very much for the help!
-
-
-
Trekkiemelissa Aug 5, 2009 @ 8:32 pm | in reply to golfgurugps | delete
- In order to make an image clicable online, you need a place other than squidoo to host the image like photobucket.
so you put url of site you going to with the a href code, you would put the image url with code with img src tag and then end it with the /a tag.
If you don't upload anything, nothing will show up

The box at the bottom of the of the text area where you can upload an image from your computer, will it still show up (empty because I didn't use it) next to my headline text?

This probably sounds dumb but I have just saved my first lens ( and web publication) ever but have not published yet as I cannot add 'live/working' links to the article.
I have read your 'codes' as above but they dont mean anything to me, as a complete novice - I have no idea what to do with them.
Help, Please, if you can!
Many thanks,

I have found the code for creating a table, and I can put links into it just fine, I just can't add pictures. This is something that I have seen on a lot of lenses, and I really like the look! Does this make sense? Can you help me? Thank you!

- Take a look at the image and link section of this lens. It explains how to add links into your lenses. They work for both external and internal.

- hello I need to know how to enable basic html on my lens so I can add links to my text for linking to other sites? I thought when I started to build my first lens there was a question enabling basic html and I did not enable it, is this my problem?

- Mmmm... I did try the code for text in color and looking around elsewhere, I found different codes. None work for me.
With the , if after the word(s) we want in color we put , it cut the sentence into a new paragraph. So, I would say this would be good for something like a sub-title inside the text.
For coloring a word inside a sentence, I opted for . As I write here, I don't even remember (as I have played with this and search for days...) if after the word I have put or .
I can just suggest - you newbie, like me - to try and see which one works.

- Thanks from a newbie struggling with HTML for this helpful lens. I think CSS is WAY advanced for me yet; I just need to get basic html down :). Took me an entire day to add some extra pix in a new module this week and place the pix where I wanted them, THEN get the text to flow around the pix. After much, much trial & error, I finally got it pretty much the way I wanted. It proved to be a good learning experience. Hopefully this will all become 'second nature' as I progress in my Squidoo journey. A 5* thank you. Now off to read other mentoring lenses~

- Mmmm...rounded corners! I just tested it on my Best Sellers lens and it looks great. It goes so well with the Amazon buttons. I looked at it in IE and saw no rounded corners, which I expected, but it just looked like the boxes currently in use, which is good - Firefox rules!. 5 stars, favorited and bookmarked, plus I've already saved the code for the rounded corners.
Thank you!
