	What to Do When Preparing Copy for the Web Trina L.C. Sonnenberg Do you visit web pages, blogs, or receive email that have crazy looking characters in them? I'm talking about strange symbols and characters that seem to take the place of punctuation. (You know... these things: â € æ ) These characters can make it difficult to read the copy. That being the case, if you are posting content, or sending email, you should take special care to avoid this situation, and it is easier than you might think. First, you should know how these characters come into your copy. If you are using a word processor application, such as MS Word, to write your copy, that is the culprit right there. Therefore, the solution is to use a different method/software for composing your copy. You see, those characters are added by the program you are using, and you don't see them until you have pasted and posted the copy. Copying and pasting directly from MS Word is not a good idea. For one thing, it can really screw up your links. If you are using such a program because it will paste live links into your copy, stop. There are many ways to post live live links, you just need to do a little extra work. The best thing to do is find an HTML editor and start using that instead. HTML editors can be found for free all over the place. My personal favorite is EditPlus2. It works great, and allows you to preview your HTML work exactly as it will appear to your readers, before you post it. Not only that, but the preview you see can be copied and pasted to web pages, blogs, and email, with live links that work and no special symbols or characters are added. Learning how to write HTML tags is fairly simple on its own, but most HTML editors have tool commands that will guide the novice in the right direction. Here are some basic HTML tags: To create a live link use the HREF tag: < a href="URL GOES HERE" >WHAT THE READER SEES GOES HERE< /a > The < a href=" > is the opening tag, and the < /a> is the closing tag. All open HTML tags must be closed, or it will really mess with things. If you want the link to open in a new window, you simply add a target to the tag. Like this: < a href="URL GOES HERE" TARGET="_BLANK">WHAT THE READER SEES GOES HERE< /a> A font tag looks like this: < font face="tahoma" color="#0000" size="2">< /font > Bold = < b >< /b > Italics = < i >< /i > Underline = < u >< /u > For an easy to understand tutorial, please feel free to visit this page: http://tlcpromotions.net/web101.php Just scroll to the bottom of the page to get it. You can't miss it. Remember, everything you post or send through email represents you, and if your copy is difficult to read because of strange looking symbols, chances are people won't read it. **NOTE: When creating these tags, do not include the spaces before or after the < > symbols, as shown in the examples.

	Thank you, Peter. Do you see all the raw code in your post? The reason for this is that the opening tags are incomplete. You must not have copied the correctly. The only reason I am allowing your ad to appear (I don't allow ads in this forum) is because of the fact that this code was copied and pasted properly, and it serves as an example of a positive end result. However, please do not post ads in this forum. Trina
