What do you think of HTML in Wizzley?

Yup, used appropriately will help!

  • I'm a big fan of html. I'm struggling with Wizzley though. For some reason, I can't center a captioned image. I have to either float it left or right. And that's frustrating.

  • Lakeerieartists

    You might not deem it necessary for you, but we others appreciate this and just for the record, code like this does not add to page loading speed. HTML code is html code, so if you just use the standard one or a more sophisticated one like this doesn't make a nano second of difference in page load speed. What does make a difference is overuse of Amazon modules etc that have to be loaded from a third source etc.

  • I think it does help to use some html, as long as it's not overdone and done with taste.

  • I did not know this could be done. Thanks for the wizz!

  • I like the way you have used it and I love having the mystery taken out of these things for me.

Nope, I'm a simple one

  • While I appreciate that you have taken the time to show us these colored borders, I do not think having all the extra html on a page is a good idea, because it will burden the page with extra unnecessary code. One of the things that I love about Wizzley is the fact that we do not need any of this and we can create pages quickly. I think by adding all of the jazzing up it just distracts the reader from what you have on the page.

  • I like Wizzley because it has some color (unlike the dullness of Hubpages) but doesn't go to the loud extremes that Squidoo does. I prefer to keep it that way!

I'm bookmarking this page - I can see myself using the borders to highlight key points for example. Thank you for this

Sheri_OzSep 21, 2012

Thanks for this. I have bookmarked it for future reference.

BhaveshJan 22, 2012

Excellent tutorial and reference for Wizzley HTML. Thank you so much for putting it together.

JoHarringtonJan 21, 2012

Wow! I didn't know about any of this. Thanks!

I really should experiment more in the source box, instead of being lazy. :)

lakeerieartistsDec 23, 2011

The information is good, but I do not think it is necessary. See my comment above.

almirahDec 22, 2011

@emeraldine: I'm sorry not giving you the best answer. The answer to your question is actually to press Shift+Enter from your text editor (not html mode) at the end of each paragraph, or from html mode insert </br>

almirahDec 20, 2011

@emeraldine: the technique is just similar. The code will apply to all the texts as long as they are before </p>. Make sure to check with in your html mode text editor

emeraldmileDec 20, 2011

How would you add a border on Wizzley if you wanted the entire border to cover two or more paragraphs. I find each paragraph has to have a separate border. Can you share any tricks?

MichaelaDec 19, 2011

Thank you for all the effort you put into this article - I find it very helpful.
I've often wished I could use borders to highlight certain areas of my article.
Thanks! :)

GuestDec 17, 2011

Whether we use these borders or not, it's nice to know how it's done. Thanks for the information.

fanfrelucheDec 17, 2011

The dash border and double border looks nice, I may eventually use them. But not too much, less is better I think.

almirahDec 17, 2011

@Jimmie, thank you for bookmarking... This is my first page here at Wizzley, so I'm still learning and exploring the platform. Yes, I hope some people will find it useful. Rich texts and and nice appearance some times is a good match for many eyes :D

JimmieDec 17, 2011

I've tried hard not to get involved in HTML tricks here at Wizzley. It's easy to go overboard and get too fancy. I'm sticking with simple. But with that said, there may be times when some of your pretty borders are just what is needed to draw attention to a certain idea or link. So I'm bookmarking. :-) Welcome to Wizzley.
