Learn a little HTML ...

Pat Thornton, who like me is a native of the Cleveland area (although he was born while I was in high school), publishes a blog under the name "The Journalism Iconoclast."

Today's topic is A little HTML never hurt anybody, and I heartily second that.

His contention is that journalists should, at a minimum, know how to bold-face, italicize, and embed links.

But of course, y'all know how to do that, right?

Summing up his post: "Many journalists are already being asked to blog. Can you imagine blogging without knowing how to make a proper link?"

I'm resisting the urge to make a snarky comment, so let's shut it down for the week.

Talk to y'all later ...
