Don't Fear html!
Most web pages are written in or include coding written in html (hyper-text markup language). There are a few simple commands in html that you can easily incorporate into your blog, but it helps to understand a couple of the "grammar" rules that make it work.
The first thing to know is tags. Html is all about tags:
"So what are all these "<" and ">" things doing here? When you place a certain thing within these you are making something known as a tag. For example the tag is saying to start bold text, and the tag is saying to stop bold text. The tag with the slash (/) is known as the closing tag. Many opening tags require a following closing tag, but not all do. Tags make up the entire structure of an HTML document. "
try this: take a sentance you wrote on your blog and insert the bold tag as described above to highlight one of the words.
