Having fun with codes
The other day Amy tried to explain how to do hyperlinks and it didn't work very well because the explanation itself turned into a hyperlink! It's all to do with html codes. You write something in code and it gets reinterpreted, appearing as normal text, but modified to italic, bold, hyperlink, etc, depending on the code you use. Examples:
italic
bold
strike
Text appears small.
Text appears big.
click here
The Blogger interface looks like this:
There are buttons on the top that apply the code to any highlighted text. When you click on HTML, the box changes and the html codes appear:
I had to take a screenshot of the html codes, because if I had tried to copy and paste it, it would be immediately reinterpreted and appear exactly as in the list of examples, minus the codes.
The last example is a hyperlink. If you want to make any text appear as a clickable link, all you do is write everything exactly as above, but instead of "http://whattimeisoclock.blogspost.fr/" you paste the address of the site you want to link and instead of "click here" you write what you want to appear in your comment, such as "Cool site" or anything you that takes your fancy.
The codes for italics, bold, strike, etc, are quite easy, but must be applied exactly as they are above. Simply use your own words instead of italic, bold, etc, between the opening and closing tags.
Try these simple codes in your comments. It should be fun!

Old age etiquette
My sister Dora sent me a video by email, saying she was sure I would enjoy it. I replied that she had shown me the video when she was here last July.
I loved her reply:
"Well, if I forgot I had already shown it to you, the very least you could have done was to forget that you had already seen it!"

I love you, birthday guy
Today is my wonderful husband's birthday. He's a busy guy, crossing oceans and continents to deliver prizes to our competition winners. Yes, I know, I know, he stops for pie and loses the plot. Still, I love him!
Peter likes his tea, so this is the perfect cake for him:
Go on, make a fuss of him, he deserves it!
