For Tech Camp…
Adding text to your widget sidebars is fairly simple. You can also format it using html tags.
- From dashboard>design>widgets, choose to add a text widget to your sidebar.
- Click “edit.”
- Add a title for the text widget if you choose, such as “Disclaimer” or “Welcome.” It all depends on the content you want to add.
- Add your text into the box and double-check.
- To format text, you can put it between html tags.
Example html tags
BOLD: <b>this is an example</b>
UNDERLINE: <u>this is an example</u>
ITALIC: <i>this is an example</i>
CENTER: <p align=”center”>add your text here</p>
Using more than one tag requires that you nest tags. For example, centered and bold would look like this:
<p align=”center”><b>this is an example</b></p>
Other html tags you might want to know:
paragraph: <p></p>
break or return: <br>
link: <a href=”http://…”>link name</a>
link that opens in new window: <a href=”http://…” target=”_blank”>link name</a>
image: <img src=”http://…”>
image link: <a href=”http://url to link to”><img src=”http://url of image”></a>
