In which we link to our other HTML Documentation Diaries, because our signature cannot hold them all.
These are best read in order. Don't try the advanced until you're comfortable with the basics, is my advice.
Oh, and feel free just to ask questions in here in the comments. My plan is to keep this a running Diary, adding to it when I write new articles on the subject..
Should be a link in one of the places
by kowalski
These should be a link somewhere in the homepage. Indispensible.
I'll second that. And
by BrooksRob
I'll second that. And thanks, Neil.
Neil, the Door's Exploded!
by kowalski
I'll third it.
Even though "thirding" it really means that I'm "seconding" myself, so really I'm just adding to my first post, but only if there's an official scorekeeper, which there isn't, but if there was, they'd say thirding myself was probably illegal, or at least unfair, unless I SAID IT IN A DIFFERENT VOICE, which I will.
And you did just say that you were just secondig yourself as according to the seconding rules.
So I will take the option away from you and Thir it myself. So HA!

Click on "my account" and then "track". It will list every blog you've posted on.

Nothing beyond what Scott said

It'd take a fair bit of custom Drupal coding on the server to get a Scoop-like Your Comments page.
It would be nice
by Raven
After all, the Devs keep saying they'll do it. that it's just around the corner.
We're still waiting...

Well there's new ownership
by Neil Stevens
It wouldn't surprise me of RS's new overlords are going to pump a little money into their investment.
When'd that happen?

Eagle Publishing swallowed RS a while back. Early this year or late last year?

Fixing unclosed attribute tags.
by Socrates
If you (or someone else) leaves an attribute such as <i>, <u>, <b>, <sub> <super> <strike> or <em> open by forgetting to </tag>, here's how to fix it:
Reply as close to the offending post as possible. This means either posting a reply to the offending post, or if it already has a first comment, to that first comment.
Reply with:
</tag> Not fixed, <tag> not fixed, </tag> fixed.
The text is not important, and can even be white space. Just be sure to close, open and close again.

I don't recommend people do this
by Neil Stevens
I don't recommend people do this unless they're willing and informed enough to be able to read the source of the broken comment and find exactly what the dangling element is, heh.
Bless you for this!!!!
by QueenOfCups
Will you please keep it somewhere on the front page - even if it is just as a link?
If I could, I would
by Neil Stevens
The best I can do though is just keep commenting, and put it in my signature. Which is why I put up this collection diary to begin with: Linking to all three in my sig won't work because of the size limit of the signature field of the profiles here, but making one diary lets me link to that just fine.
Neil, since I have you here...
by QueenOfCups
I have asked this question before and do not think I have gotten an answer... is there an index somewhere on the site that shows the categories and a list of articles contained in each? Or is it simply just going to the blogs and going backward and backward?
Second Question: when there are more than one articles on a certain topic, is it possible to have them linked or threaded somehow in the order in which they were originally posted? I know it's not a today thing, but can we put it on a wish list?
I just saved this diary to my favorites - hopefully that will do the trick. Your tips really came in handy - a couple of weeks ago, I published my first diary and used the block quotes, and bolding. I was so proud of myself!
Glad to hear it helped
by Neil Stevens
As for your other stuff, I really don't have any special hints. My use of Red State tends to be pretty now-oriented, with me only digging back to look up specific things I or someone else said once in the past. For that I'll usually just use ask.com searches, since they work better for me than the drupal searches.
Neil, thanks for the diary.
by Flagstaff
I found it from your signature line.
We've traded our National Sovereignty for cheap roofing and yardwork.
Tying tag lines to the bottom!
by From ME to you
Neil,
1) Thanks for this whole area!
2) Is there a way to tie a tag line to the bottom of the post so that when you tab from the subject box to the comment box that the cursor would jump in front of the tag line instead of after?

Lots of changes coming
by simpson316
RedState 3.0 is in production.
BTW, I use Safari and it always puts my cursor at the beginning of my tagline. FireFox and IE don't for some reason.
Now also found at The Minority Report
Thanks
by From ME to you
AH! Just another bungled Microsoft attempt to take over the world! I thought there might be a tag that would insert a 'soft space' waiting for an input.
