Style Guide

Small's Clone Industries uses Little Logger software to manage the weblog. Postings are processed in such a way so as to allow for considerable flexibility on the part of the author. To use this flexibility, however, a little knowledge of HTML is needed, so this guide has been created to assist the great unwashed.

Paragraphs
Making paragraphs is very simple. Just put one empty line between them in the text field. For additional empty lines, use the <br /> where appropriate. Please do not use <p> tags.

Quoting
If you want to quote a large block of text, you can offset the block by

<blockquote>
surrounding it with these tags.
</blockquote>

Links
In HTML as in a Small's Clone posting, a link can be created with the following code:
<a href="http://www.smallsclone.com">Click here!</a>
You would, of course, replace http://www.smallsclone.com with the address you want to link to. This above example would come out looking like this: Click here!

Italics and Bold
Sometimes you may want to emphasize something. Sometimes you want to emphasize a lot. To make text bold, surround it as follows:
<strong>This is bold<strong/>
To make something in italics, surround it as follows:
<em>This is italics<em/>

Images
If you'd like to use an image from the web and you know its address, you can insert it with this tag, surrounded on each side by a blank line:
<img src="http://www.address..." />
Do not use images wider than 300 pixels, and please restrict yourself to uncopyrighted images at permanent addresses. For the moment, you cannot upload pictures directly to smallsclone.com, but that feature should be forthcoming if there is enough interest. In the meantime, you can email us a picture and we can insert it into your post manually.
