I have finally conquered my fear of Photoshop, and made this badge to promote MomReviews. I know it’s not fancy, it could certainly use a jazzier font, but it’s a start! And big thanks to Loretta at Just Not Martha for giving me the code that makes the box with the code you can copy! Two years of blogging and I finally feel like code isn’t so scary anymore

Ever since I started using Wordpress, one thing that has baffled me is sidebar widgets. I understood the heading and the text, but I didn’t know how to style any of the text itself.

And then one day I copy pasted a recipe into the post area on another of my blogs, and when I looked at the code, I saw that around the words “Ingredients” and “Directions” were the letter “h” with tags around it. A lightbulb went on in my head, seriously. So THAT’S how you make larger text within a widget!

I still have to really look at the stylesheet to understand it for sure. Does the “h” tag use the coding for titles? On my blog Table for Five, h1 is large dark grey letters, but h2 is light purple, and I’m not sure why. But I figured it out, all by myself. Go me!

This is the h1 tag

This is the h2 tag

This is the h3 tag

This is the h4 tag
