Make More Memorable Lenses With Basic HTML and CSS (It's Easy!)

Although Squidoo is designed to give anyone an opportunity to create great web pages without knowing a lick of programming code, there are advantages to knowing at least a little bit. I'm sure you've seen some lenses (including a few of fine) with features like tables and modules with different colored text or backgrounds and wondered, "How'd they do that?"

HTNL and CSS is how ;-)

You don't have to go to ITT Tech for a Computer Science degree to do that kind of stuff, though - HTML and CSS tags can be copied and pasted into Text/Write modules. So, you can look like a computer whiz without really knowing how to do much more than cut and paste.

It is a good thing to learn basic HTML and CSS for real, though...you know, when you have some time :-)

Until you do have time, however, here are some lenses that I use to spice up my lenses - you should use them, too!
