Dabbling with HTML coding

It had been five years since I last worked with HTML coding on any web page. Today, I decided to create links on my blog so that whoever reads my blog knows that I rely heavily on the blogs of other librarians to keep my technology know-how fresh. I typed the code in notepad and then copied it over to Blogger's template. A problem occurred when Blogger decided that the quotation marks that I copied over were not proper coding. When I realized this, I merely backspaced the old quotation marks out and typed in new ones.
BTW, JS-the demonic librarian, is playing around with his blog. I am not sure whether he will take his as seriously as I do mine. I did encourage him to work with LC to start a "writer's" blog since LC is an accomplished author and JS aspires to be.
