Learning some “code” is quite possibly the most scary idea for new bloggers who aren’t very tech-minded. But don’t worry, you don’t have to be a tech genius to become a successful blogger—however, a afghanistan telemarketing data understanding of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), the standard language for all documents designed to be displayed in a web browser, is extremely helpful.

In essence, HTML is a way of changing plain text into something new or different. You can add headers, sub-headers, italics, bold type, colors, and more. WordPress allows you to do many things in your backend editor without ever needing to touch the code, but you can fine-tune these things to a great degree by understanding how a little bit of HTML code functions. HTML can also be used for images, graphics, and videos.

To access your HTML version of a blog post in the classic WordPress editor, select the “text” tab at the top right of your editor window. Here’s what an image would look like with the visual editor:

And this is what it looks like when viewing through the HTML editor:

Accessing the HTML editor version of your text can help you fix errors within the more limited (simpler) visual editor. If something doesn’t appear correctly when you preview the blog post, you may be able to fix it with some HTML tweaks—and don’t be afraid to Google search for some HTML customization snippets; you’ll be surprised at what you can do.

Examples of HTML (as a Useful Blogging Skill)
HTML can be used for several helpful things on your blog. Here are some examples of ways to use HTML:

1. Nofollow links
A nofollow link allows you to add links within your blog content without passing page authority through that link (which affects a Google ranking). For example, if you were to include a link to a resource on a competitive site, you wouldn’t want to help them rank higher in a Google search because of your link—so you’d like to make that link nofollow.

To change it to a nofollow link, go to the text editor in WordPress and find the link.

Add a rel=”nofollow” attribute tag to the link text.

For more information on how to do this, you can see my detailed guide to adding a nofollow link.

2. HTML Headings
You can also use HTML to change the heading sizes of your text. With most WordPress themes, headings range from H1 to H6.

In HTML, that looks like this:
