If you’ve ever had a hankering to create your own cheer in HTML, then you’re in luck! It’s actually a lot easier than it sounds – though there are a few important tricks you need to know to master it. Allow us to break it down for you in this creative guide; by the time you’re finished reading, you’ll be creating cheers online like a pro!
The Basics
Creating a cheer in HTML isn’t much harder than writing an email. In fact, to do so, the first thing you should do is open up a word processor, like Google Docs. From there, you can type out your cheer in words. Next, select all of the words, and go to the ‘Format’ menu and select ‘Heading’. This will make all of the words bold and properly sized for a cheer.
Once you’ve done that, hit ‘Save as’ and choose ‘HTML Document’ from the drop-down menu. This will generate a file with the HTML coding needed for your cheer. Previous that, you’ll see some ‘style’ coding. This is how you’ll get the words formatted exactly how you want them. The key here is to adjust the ‘text align,’ ‘font-size,’ ‘color’ and ‘background-color’ values until you have what you want. If you’re having trouble with the coding, you can always find other HTML cheery examples online and copy their coding.
Decorating Your Cheer
Once you’ve got the actual cheer set up and saved as a HTML page, you’re all set for the fun part: decorating. Here, you get to explore the customization options and further flesh out your cheer! Plus, you don’t need to do any coding – you can simply copy and paste pre-styled images and symbols into the HTML page.
To find images and symbols to include, simply do a quick Google search. Be sure to select ‘free to use’ options and to save them as a JPEG, PNG, or GIF file format. If you prefer something with a more handmade feel, you can always draw your own symbols and then scan them into the HTML document as you would any other image. And don’t forget to find a jazzy font to use as well!
When all your images are imported, it’s time to add the finishing touches. These include linking in an accompanying song or video, or any other background feature you’d like. You can also pick a color theme and add other HTML elements and animations – like GIFs – to give your cheer page a more personal feel.
Sharing Your Cheer Creation
Creating a cheer in HTML isn’t just for your own enjoyment – it’s also a great way to share your creativity with the world. To do so, you’ll need to upload the HTML page to your own website. If you don’t have your own website, you can upload it to a free hosting service, like Weebly or Wix. All you have to do is register an account, provide some basic information and start uploading your creations.
Once your cheer page is set up, you can use social media platforms to promote it. Just create a post or tweet that links to the webpage and watch the engagements roll in! Speak proudly of this cheer creation of yours and invite others to join in the cheer-making fun. Most importantly, don’t forget to congratulate yourself for your courage and creativity!
Adding Interactivity To Your Cheer
You can take things one step further by integrating interactive features into your cheer page. The most popular way of doing this is to add simple HTML clickable buttons, like ones for liking or for sending a tweet. If you have some coding skills, you can also consider adding JavaScript and jQuery effects, like a parallax effect, to give the page more motion.
Another popular way of making your cheer page more interactive is to include a countdown timer. All you have to do is insert the HTML code for a countdown timer, either from scratch or using a program like Coundown Clock Generator. You can customize it as much as you’d like, modifying the font and color, or even setting a specific starting and ending time.
