Riding on the trailer:
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God"
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God"
That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
In my last post about HTML I covered paragraphs/line breaks and bold and italic writing. This post covers links, pictures and colours.
In the above paragraph, I made the words “last post” a link to my previous HTML post. The way to do this is to put link tags around the words “last post”. The code for link tags is “a” and we put pointy brackets around the tags and use a start and end tag just like before. However, the start tag contains some extra information to show where the link is to:
In my <a href=”http://sinnersavedbygod.blogspot.com/2008/02/basic-html-part-one.html”>last post</a> about HTML…
This would produce the result shown in my first paragraph.
Colour can be used for various things such as text and background. The colour can be defined ;ocally (in a similar way to the way bold and italic are done) or it can be predefined near the beginning of the page (for example, heading, link and “visited” link colours can be defined so that they all come out the same colour).
For now I will just discuss how to define colour locally. To do this, we use “font” tags. These would be <font> and </font>. Like with the links, we put extra information in the opening tag. This information is called an “attribute”. (We can also define the size and font of the writing but I will cover this another time.)
Here is how we can do it:
I like <font color=”red”>red</font> writing.
This would come out like this:
I like red writing.
Note the attribute “color” uses the American spelling.
Using a colour name we can choose a limited range of colours (red, yellow, green, blue, black etc.) but using a six-digit hexadecimal code number we have a choice of over 16 million colours. The code follows the format #rrggbb i.e. the first two digits define the amount of red used, the second two the amount of green used and the third pair the amount of blue used. “00” is the smallest amount and “FF” the largest. To explain a bit better, here are some examples:
#FF0000 = red
#00FF00 = green
#0000FF = blue
#000000 = black
#FFFFFF = white
Because it is designed for computer monitors which emit light, it is designed for mixing light (red, green and blue are the primary colours for light).
If I wanted to do the earlier sentence using the colour code I would write:
I like <font color=”#FF0000”>red</font> writing.
Of course it would be pretty difficult to work out the code for every colour you might want but definitions can easily be found:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors
http://www.logoorange.com/color/color-codes-chart.php
I found these fairly easily by searching for the keywords HTML, color and code in a search engine.
I will return to this on a later date.
The code for a picture or image is <img src=imageURL>. Where I have written "imageURL” you would enter the URL of the image. For example:
<img
src=”http://photos-d.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sctm/v162/218/49/865750507/n865750507_1956555_4111.jpg”>
Results in this:
If I remember correctly (I’m revising this from notes I made
five years ago) the image tag is the only one where an end tag is not required.
Next time I will cover a little bit of JavaScript which may
be helpful before returning to HTML.
"The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed."Titus 2v3-5
My husband and I are currently considering what exactly the outworking of these verses is. In particular, what is meant by "keepers at home"? The Greek word is οἰκουρούς. I know that οἰκος means home/house and my Greek-English interlinear new testament translates the word literally as "house workers". I have had a brief search on the internet but presumably it is not a word used in modern Greek as everything I found relating to this word was about Titus 2.
I'm off to finish making fisherman's pie for dinner. :o)
Our fortnightly fruit box arrived just after lunch (we get a veg and a fruit box delivered alternate weeks) but it had the list for the veg box in instead of the fruit box. We got oranges, apples, lemons, bananas and grapes which I could identify but what are these?
Fortunately they finished a day early and in two days I was able to transform the living room from this:
To this:
"Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
I can't say that the overall plot is that amazing as a story but there doesn't seem to be anything objectionable in it so we will most likely keep it but I don't think we would have it at the top of the reading list.
The next book I will be looking at is The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins.
And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Mark 7:18-23
What is HTML? One Christmas one of my brothers was writing a thank you letter to an elderly relative. In it he wrote that he had got a book about HTML for Christmas. My mum pointed out that they would have no idea what that meant so he proceeded to add in brackets “hyper text mark up language”.
Unfortunately this didn’t make things any clearer. This is how I describe HTML to people: HTML works a bit like a word processor. In a word processor you enter your text and then you tell it how the text should be formatted (tables, bold, font, text colour text size, left or centre justified etc.). This is exactly what HTML does except that instead of clicking on buttons, you have to enter little bits of “code” or “tags” to tell the web browser how to arrange the text.
A full page of HTML consists of a “head” and a “body”. The head contains various information such as what version of HTML is being used, labels for search engines (called “meta” tags), the title of the page (if you’re using Windows Explorer, this shows on the title bar of Explorer and on the toolbar) and various other bits and pieces. If you are writing bits of HTML for a blogger blog, you don’t need to worry about the head.
The body is where you have your main text of your website and various tags can be used to arrange and format it.
An important thing to tell the browser is when to start on a new line. Even if you have pressed “Enter” between your paragraphs, they will be displayed in one big lump unless you enter the right code. The two easiest ways to do this are either using paragraph tags or line break tags.
The paragraph tags go around the paragraph like this:
<p>This is a sample paragraph.</p><p>This is the second sample paragraph.</p>
These should then display like this:
This is a sample paragraph.
This is the second sample paragraph.
Note you need to have a start tag and an end tag (with the /
before the p).
The line break tag is unusual in that you don’t have start and end tags. To achieve the same paragraphing effect, I could have entered the following:
<br>This is a sample paragraph.<br>br>This is the second sample paragraph.
Once you have your text arranged, you may want to use bold or italics. These are fairly straight forward to do:
I want to use <b>bold</b> and <i>italics</i>.
This should come out as:
I want to use bold and italics.
In my next HTML post I will try to cover links, pictures and colours.

I am a Christian, wife, mother and homemaker aiming to live up to the standards set out in Proverbs 31 and Titus 2. I breastfeed, use cloth nappies and practise elimination communication. I like to cook from scratch and am learning to cook "Nourishing Traditions" style. I aim to be a good steward both in terms of the resources God has given my family (frugality) and in terms of the resources God has given to everyone ("green" living). Above all I aim to glorify God and obey his will. My blog is about these things.
