My Favourite CSS Tricks on Squidoo
Simple Tweaks to Spice Up Your Lens
The basic tools provided by Squidoo will do pretty much everything you need to get your content out to your audience. But sometimes you want to format it a little differently, and this is where inline CSS comes into play. Here I show some of the tricks I use on my lenses, and the code that does that. If you haven't used inline CSS before, you should first read Basic HTML and Advanced HTML. These explain of the basic principles of using CSS on your lenses.

HTML Tips for Color
Color!
Color can be applied via HTML tags to fonts, borders and backgrounds. squidoo.com/basichtml and squidoo.com/advancedhtml show how to implement these colors. This lens however isn't going to show how the code is applied, but is a repository for the lists of colors in both the name and the hexadecimal value. So be sure to add this lens to favorites so you can drop by and pick and choose colors and color themes to your hearts content while using any of the How To HTML lenses here on Squidoo.

Bulleted and Ordered Lists
Lists
You can easily make bulleted or numbered lists in the Text List module. Too easy! But if you want more control and more of a say on how the information is presented you'll need to learn to use three HTML tags. Lets say you want to display a list in the middle of a slab of information and then continue writing without having to add another Text/Write Module (and feel obliged to have a new heading) you can. On top of that you can tweak the look of the bullets. Or indeed get very clever with ...

HTML, CSS Backgrounds on Squidoo
CSS and HTML Resources
I am constantly striving to beautify my lenses. Just like many Squidooers starting out, my first lenses are a little plain looking. However there have been vast improvements within Squidoo itself since I began Squidoo in July 2008. For instant, "Text with Big Picture" didn't exist. I didn't know how to add images from other sites into my lenses. And the images that were uploaded from my computer ended up to be small pictures on the lenses. Though content is what should count, beauty is what ...

HTML Text and Image Squidoo Tips
HTML Text and Image Resources
I am constantly working on improving my lenses to make them look the best that they can be. I was a Newbie when I joined Squidoo, July 2008. I wasn't familiar with how different type of text formats worked on Squidoo. For one thing Squidoo is a different type of sea creature. What might work on your website or blog doesn't necessary work on Squidoo. So far I have only worked with different colored text and making certain text bold. Now with this resource all in one place, I can start testing...
