Article HTML Tips: Creating Simple HTML within your article content

Generally, EzineArticles.com advocates minimal use of HTML in an article; however, sometimes it can be to your benefit.

Here are some HTML tips to get the results you are looking for:

1. How to Make a URL/Website Address "Linkable":

This code: <a href="http://www.Your-Company-Name.com/">http://www.Your-Company-Name.com</a>

will make "http://www.Your-Company-Name.com" a clickable link.

Just substitute your website address into the above code and now you know how to "link" up a website address.

2. How to Create an Anchor Text Link:

This code: <a href="http://www.Your-Company-Name.com">Your Website Address</a>

will make "Your Website Address" a clickable link.

Use anchor text links sparingly when submitting an article. Many Ezine publishers have anchor text link limitations. At EzineArticles.com, you can have one URL in an article to any one site. Duplicate URLs in an article body could lead to your article being rejected.

3. How to Make Something Bold:

This code: <b>Make my words bold</b>

will make the words between the <b></b> code bold.

4. How to Make Something Italic:

This code: <i>Make my words italic</i>

will make the words between the <i></i> code italic.

5. How to Make Something Underlined:

This code: <u>Make my words underlined</u>

will make the words between the <u></u> code underlined.

6. How to Make a Bullet Point List:

This code:

<ul>

<li>First bullet</li>

<li>Second bullet</li>

<li>Third bullet</li>

</ul>

will create a list with round bullets.

7. How to Make a Numbered List:

This code:

<ol>

<li>First point</li>

<li>Second point</li>

<li>Third point</li>
