Guest Growley Posted February 19, 2002 Posted February 19, 2002 O.K. its time to admit to all you experts that I know nothing, thats right NOTHING when it comes to HTML coding. I see all these caches with multi-colored fonts, etc. I want to be able to do that too! Does anyone know of a link or website where I can get a list of basic commands that would allow me to make my cache pages (all two of them) look better? Thank you [This message has been edited by Growley (edited 19 February 2002).] Quote
Guest Ttepee Posted February 19, 2002 Posted February 19, 2002 Give this one a try http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/basics.html Quote
Guest Dutchboy Posted February 19, 2002 Posted February 19, 2002 You might have a copy of Microsoft Front Page on your computer. I use Front Page to make the page, then copy and paste the html code. DutchBoy Quote
Guest Markwell Posted February 19, 2002 Posted February 19, 2002 I also use this one. ------------------ Markwell My GPS Activity Page Non omnes vagi perditi sunt Quote

Guest TresOkies Posted February 19, 2002 Posted February 19, 2002 And when you are ready to tweak your tags... http://htmlcompendium.org More of a reference site, than a beginner's section, but highly useful once you are ready to go beyond the basics. -E ------------------ N35°32.981 W98°34.631 Quote
Guest E=Mc2 Posted February 19, 2002 Posted February 19, 2002 Just want to say Thanks for those sites. As I do not use HTML with geocaching(yet) I do on wheresgeorge and when I asked got a few sites that really did not help that much. Peace and Have Fun!!!!

+TeamAO Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 I tried using the codes for linking a word to a website, and the cache page must not be recognizing it, because nothing happens. I'm still working on the cache that's waiting to be approved's "visual". I'm lost in HTML. Quote
+sbell111 Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 Did any of the above sites still exist? Did they help? Was there any reason at all to bring this ancient thread back from the dead? Quote
+TeamAO Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 Did any of the above sites still exist? Did they help? Was there any reason at all to bring this ancient thread back from the dead? Right now I'm making my first hide. And I want to link a local cache that ties into the history of the place my cache is located so if the finder is interested they can grab that one too and have it "tie into the theme"...the sites have me doing a code that is <A HREF="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=2837f474-b6de-4964-9889-642487800846">Darr Mine</A> But when I place it in the listing, nothing comes up at all. I know someone here has a way to link to the site via HTML. Quote
+Miragee Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 Did you check the little box stating you were using HTML? If you didn't, all the codes got stripped out. But if you did, you have to use HTML throughout the page. HTML is relatively easy to understand. Check out this site Just remember you need to close any tag you use. If you use the <Center> tag, use the close Center tag after that centered portion </Center> The '/' is used to close codes such as the <P> = Paragraph. <Font color> = just what it says, font color. Keep the code very simple. Using a text editor is the best way, then save the file and open it in a new page in your browser to see how the formatting looks. Quote
