Part 3 - Lists, Links, and Images in MINDS Blogs
Part 3 of MINDS Blogging Documentation for the Browser: Lists, Links, and Images
Lists
There are 2 types of lists in MINDS blogs: bullet list and numbered list. Use lists in your blogs to make them easier to read.
Bullet Lists
There are 4 types:
- Default (like this one)
- Circle
- Disc
- Square
Numbered Lists
There are 6 types:
- Default (like this one)
- Lower Alpha
- Lower Greek
- Lower Roman
- Upper Alpha
- Upper Roman
Nesting lists does not appear to be possible.
Images
Most people like images. I know I do. I love to see images in blogs. It makes them more appealing to me. Use the "Insert/edit Image" icon in the menu bar to insert an image.
You will then see the following dialog box:
Enter the URL of the image, and description. The dimensions will be automatically filled in, but you can change them. In fact, you will want to change them if they are too large to be displayed properly. I recommend leaving the checkmark to constrain proportions!
Other users claim that images inserted in blogs can be stored in the MINDS Images folders. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. If you know how to do this, please share in detail on how to accomplish this. Fortunately, I subscribe to 500px where I can store these images.
Links
Links to other Web pages from text and images can be easily added to MINDS blogs. Use the "Insert/edit Link" icon from the menu bar.
If you are linking from a text, the following dialog box will be displayed:
If you are linking from an image, the following dialog box will be displayed:
Enter the URL of the page to link to. I believe the title is the "alt" and the target is the "target" attributes of the HTML anchor tag. The target is limited to "None" or "New window."
This is the last part of this series on MINDS blogging. It is not the intent of this documentation to teach you HTML. The other formatting controls in MINDS blogs require that you understand HTML.
