It’s been six months since I first clicked the publish button on this little blog!
When I started blogging, I had no idea how much is involved to continuously write, design, publicize, and maintain a blog. I’ve been on a steep learning curve over the last six months, and I continue to learn more each day. I enjoy new challenges, so it’s been a fun and rewarding experience!
One of the things I’ve had to figure out along the way is how to use HTML coding.
With WordPress.org as my blogging platform, I can do a lot without having to dive into HTML. Thankfully, it’s easy to get started and publish simple posts. But I’ve needed to go beyond the standard visual post editor on a few occasions, and that required learning some basic HTML.
Searching online, it’s been easy enough to find what I need to know. I don’t use HTML often enough to memorize all the codes, though. Along the way, I bookmarked sites and scribbled notes for myself.
Ultimately I decided that I needed a solid list of basic HTML codes for reference to speed up the process. Since I like things that are handy and pretty, I put it together in a nice, colorful, printable list that I can keep in my blogging binder.
I’m happy to provide my list of basic HTML coding here as my first free printable! I hope it’s helpful for other newbie bloggers like myself who need a little cheat sheet for HTML.

Are there other handy HTML codes I haven’t included on my basic HTML printable that you use regularly?
Note: I also had to learn how to add this basic HTML printable to my blog. Thanks to Becca at Amuse Your Bouche for her post with simple instructions!
I shared my basic HTML printable at some of these link parties.
This is awesome! I’ve thought about making something similar lots of times but now I don’t have to! Really glad you found my post helpful!
Your post was exactly the tutorial I needed, Becca! Thanks for posting it!
What an awesome printable and idea! This is something every blogger should have by their desk too.
Thanks, Korilynn. I hope it’s as helpful for others as it has been for me!
If it makes you feel any better, I’ve been blogging about 4 years now and didn’t have a clue about HTML. Thanks so much for the printable. Plus I’ve pinned your post on Pinterest so I can visit Becca when I want to insert a printable You wouldn’t know anything about Feedburner, would you? Mine has quit sending out my email subscriptions (again!) and I haven’t got a clue!
I don’t know much about Feedburner. I haven’t been using it. Sorry I’m no help on that topic!
What a fantastic resource! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
I hope it’s helpful! Thanks for stopping by!
I was so scared of coding… HTML gave me the willies! Learning the basics was uphill for me…maybe my brain is not wired that way. Your printable is a great resources. Already printed! Thanks.
It’s definitely like learning a new language! I’m glad I don’t have to deal with HTML too much! I hope the cheat sheet helps you like it has helped me!
I really needed this -html bakes my brain Thanks for sharing x
I’m glad it’s helpful!
I’m visiting from Krafty Inspiration. I love your little freebie! I’m in the same boat as you with html coding. When I find codes I need, I paste it into a Word document. Then whenever I need it for a post, I can copy and paste it into my blog post and change the coding where it needs to be changed.
