Make a Bullet and Numbered, or Unordered and Ordered List
Many of you have seen the awesome ability that some myspace members have to make a bulleted, numbered, or ordered list on their myspace profiles. Many put these in their About Me section or Who I’d Like To Meet section to list certain traits of themselves or others. Some people find it handy to list their music section, movies section, or heroes section with bullet lists so that it is easily readable for their friend’s when they view their profile.
To learn how to make a bulleted, numbered, or ordered list, you will need some knowledge of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). But do not worry, I will guide you through the process of making a bullet, numbered, or ordered list for your myspace profile. Follow this easy tutorial below:
Making an Ordered (Numbered) List in HTML
The ordered list is perfect for providing instructions that are step by step that show others how to complete certain or particular tasks.
To create an ordered list. First start off with the <ol> html tag that tells your page to start an ordered list. To begin the first detail in your list, you will need to put an <li> html tag and then type the word or sentance that you want to be displayed on that line. When you are done with that detail, mark it with the ending list detail html tag which is </li>. (without the period mark).
When you are done making your list, declare it in your code with an ending ordered list tag which is </ol>. (without the period mark).
An example of the use of the ordered list that you can use as your template can be seen here:
<ol>
<li>This is the first detail in the list</li>
<li>This is the second detail in the list</li>
<li>This is the third detail in the list</li>
<li>This is the fourth detail in the list</li>
<li>This is the fifth detail in the list</li>
</ol>
The previous code will be show as the following once you post it into your myspace profile or website.
- This is the first detail in the list
- This is the second detail in the list
- This is the third detail in the list
- This is the fourth detail in the list
- This is the fifth detail in the list
Now you know how to make an ordered (number) list in HTML code. You can use this on your myspace profile or anywhere else where HTML is accepted such as your very own website or webpage.
Making an Unordered (Bullet) List in HTML
Unordered lists are great for providing facts, objects, or statements that do not need to be specified in any certain order. They will be displayed as a bulleted list. These are very common all throughout the internet. You will find these all over as they are a great way to show certain traits that someone may be trying to get across. Unordered or bullet lists also look very clean and organized.
To create an unordered or also known as a bullet or bulleted list in HTML, begin your code with a <ul> tag. This stands for unordered list and declares the beginning of the unordered list and lets the document know that one is about to begin. Next, you want to type <li> to declare a trait that you want to be listed. For each <li> tag that you declare, a new bullet or black dot will appear, thus creating a new trait. After you declare the <li> tag, you will need to write what you want to be listed. Once you have written all that you want to be listed for that bullet or trait, you can close the tag with a </li> tag. You can list as many bullets or traits that you want, but once you are done listing all that you need to be listed, you will then need to tell the document to stop the list. Do this by ending an ending unordered list tag which is </ul>. (without the period mark).
An example of the HTML code that is behind an unordered or bullet list can be seen here. Feel free to copy and paste this for your very own use.
<ul>
<li>This is the first detail in the list</li>
<li>This is the second detail in the list</li>
<li>This is the third detail in the list</li>
<li>This is the fourth detail in the list</li>
<li>This is the fifth detail in the list</li>
</ul>
The previous code will be show as the following once you post it into your myspace profile or website.
- This is the first detail in the list
- This is the second detail in the list
- This is the third detail in the list
- This is the fourth detail in the list
- This is the fifth detail in the list
Now you have the knowledge and ability to make an unordered or bullet list wherever HTML is accepted. These are perfect for all sorts of things.
