On the last webinar we discussed HTML coding. When you are editing your WordPress website as with most website editors you have the choice of working in the visual mode which shows your work as it will look on the site when it is published and you also have the ability to switch to html which stands for: HyperText Mark-up Language
The HTML is code that tells your website what to do.
This Is The HTML Code For H3 Headers
The first coding that a new WordPress website owner should learn is header tags. There are different sized headings and the search engines look for headlines in a cascading style or CSS (cascading style sheet). The progression is a series of headers or headlines that work together. The blog title is an H1 tag, the title of this post is an H2 tag and the title of this paragraph is an H3 tag. Put the code into your blog posts so that they cascade down from the top. This is the code that you enter to create an h3 headline.<h3>Your H3 Headline</h3> When you enter that code into your HTML editor (not the visual editor) it will create this headline:
Your H3 Headline
Your headline should indicate and include key words that follow in the paragraph below it. So now you have a cascading style from the blog title to the page title, to the paragraph or section titles and then the words in the paragraphs that follow.

I have a squidoo lens and have wanted to build a website to share with more people on how Deb changed my life. This WordPress thing looks easier than Squidoo. The webinar was very easy to follow and now I am really comfortable with getting started. Check out my Squiddo link and see how much weight I have lost. Thanks, Deb
Thank You for all the calls tips about web site design I am really green in it but it was very helpful and I just wanted you to see it done…..ok semi done still need to tweak it.
It’s great to see the basics covered. It’s amazing how often it’s the little stuff that trips us up. When there’s one thing we don’t get how to do, it’s can stop the whole process.
It was great to meet you at the DSWA and now have this wonderful added resource!
Thanks,
Jan
