MINI-HOW-TO-STEEMIT-GUIDE #3 - MAKING TEXT BLUE

The Bluer the Better

Have you ever wondered how to make clickable blue text on your posts or comments? In my last MINI-HOW-TO-STEEMIT-GUIDE we talked about anchor tags for adding links to images.

And guess what? Anchor tags will work for text too! But with markup, there is an easier way!

Let's get right to it - the markup secret is brackets-parentheses. [] followed by () - they have to be touching, and they should contain the text and the link respectively.

Lets take a little bit deeper look at that.

1. Put the readable text you want to turn blue inside the brackets.

2. Put the link that you want the blue text to direct people to inside the parentheses.

3. Marry the two by putting nary a space between!

Now you can improve the quality of your comments and posts by avoiding large and unsightly paragraphs when you link drop!

Here's the proof....that I know this?
