I blog’d yesterday and had the frickin’ thing up for 24 hours before someone pointed out that both the URL were wrong (now fixed) and the code was missing (because I didn’t use the proper HTML character codes in the posting).
It made me realize I had info to share to others. So here we go:
When you write HTML code into something, let’s say: a blog, that renders inline HTML as HTML, you need to be careful. Instead of displaying code, you’ll tell the browser to do something. In this case, it was to change the RSS feed of the page. Woops.
Its easy to fix. Simply replace the HTML (such as a less-than sign) with an HTML Character Code that represents it. When the HTML is rendered, it’ll look at the character code and display what appears to be HTML source code right on the page.
Need to know what codes to use? Yeah, I do too. Try this resource.
There. I was able to blog about something other than The Apprentice, the day after a new episode aired. Phew.
What people here are saying…
