Google Docs: HTML creation made easy

[Lostby7Participant]

***POSTING HERE IN ADDITION TO THE HELP SECTION***
I was looking for an easy way to create HTML which I could pass along to folks who are not HTML savvy and of course Google has this covered. To start you will need a Google account. The best part about this set of programs is that it is saved on the net not on your PC so you can access the information from any computer.

In a few short steps you too can create vivid HTML cache pages. Follow these simple steps and you are on your way.

First go to Google docs and select the word processor.

Next create the page you want.

Now see it in HTML:

Finally copy the HTML code and paste it onto the cache page (making sure you check the “HTML” box on the cache submission page.

Yes it is really this easy.

Images insert nicely as a document but when you look at the HTML code of the page the HTML Image code changes so that it doesn’t show up right as a web page so you’ll still need to add the image code by hand.

There are actually lots of ways to add an image…one way is:
FOR CENTER of an image the following can be pasted in the HTML:

FOR ALIGN LEFT:

To find the image location right click on the image (then you may have to click on “properties”) and copy it’s location. In the above example substitute the “http………………jpg” part for your specific image’s address.
