Free HTML Resources for Bloggers

Posted on by

codeLearning HTML isn’t rocket science and most bloggers who do know how to code are self taught.  As it’ s quite  easy to learn and most bloggers may find they do quite well by learning less than 20 HTML tags and a few CSS tags through the use of free online HTML resources.   There are many free tutorials on the internet, as well as, online courses, HTML cheat sheets, tips, and tools that any blogger can use to learn basic HTML and CSS.

If you blog at WordPress.com you will not be able to edit your template. If you are using WordPress.org software on your own domain, or if you have a Blogger (blogspot) blog  then you can edit the underlying template.

Learning basic HTML will produce these benefits:

  1. Learning HTML provides you with the advantage of  and taking full control of your blog, as you will be able to make changes and additions, and add new pages without having to hiring someone else to do it for you.
  2. Learning HTML and CSS will give you greater control over the appearance  of  of your theme. By using a basic template and learning some HTML and CSS  you will be able to to tweak the design and layout more precisely to customize and personalize it.
  3.

  4. Learning HTML, means you won’t be tied to using specific software and  if something happens to your software or your computer, as long as you have access to any computer with internet connectivity, you’ll always be able to make changes to your blog no matter where you are.
