    How do you write HTML for a blog? I wrote some text but it won't display on the blog. I can do CSS and HTML for regular web pages.

    Do you write the HTML code for the blog exactly the same way as with a page?

    For example, do you use the opening and closing html, head, and body tags etc..? I think that's the problem.

    What do you want to do exactly? If you just want to publish a post, you don't need to fuss with html coding at all.

    html code is no different for blogs it works the same.

    You may have to be a bit more specific about what your trying to do. For instance in Wordpress if you want HTML in a post, you have to toggle from graphic view to HTML to put in HTML or it just comes out as text.

    I need the HTML in the sidebars not the posts. I can't get the sidebar HTML to display.

    In blogger, click on the Add a Gadget in Layouts and choose HTML/Javascript. you can add HTML to any position in blog.

    Actually my blog uses blogcast. But maybe it's similar to blogger. Once I get access to a high speed connection then I'll look for some gadget and see if I can get the HTML to display.
