Entering Your Resume or Review Excerpts There are two ways to enter your resume or review excerpts:
This page also includes the list of available HTML tags. See available tags>> The Easy Way - Typing Your Information in the Text Boxes The easiest way to enter your information is simply to type it or paste it into the text boxes. You can get a good looking result without using any fancy programming. Just set off the titles of your works with quotation marks or capital letters the way you would on a typewriter. If you would like to use boldface, italics or other formatting features, it is really very easy. You just need to enter short "HTML tags" before and after the words you want to format. There is a list of the available formatting features below with samples. You can use any of these tags that you want in your resume, review excerpts or in the text fields on your main profile page. Note: If you are typing in your text, you do not need to use the HTML tags <P> or <BR> to create new paragraphs or line breaks. When you press the Enter Key, the program will recognize it as a traditional carriage return, i.e. the cursor will move to the beginning of the next line.
Uploading Your Resume or Review Excerpts as HTML Files If you have an .html or .htm version of your document on your computer, you can upload it. If you entered the HTML tags yourself, or created the file with an HTML editing program, this method will probably work correctly. We do not recommend trying to upload HTML files created from Microsoft Word files by using the "Save As" command, since Word seems to add many extraneous spaces and codes. It is easier to paste the text from Word documents into the boxes for your resume or review excerpts. When you paste the document into the boxes, you will lose boldface, italics, indentations, and other text formatting features. If you need those features, you can add them back using the HTML formatting commands described below. Please note that some HTML editing programs use HTML commands which are not universally recognized, and the WomenArts Network software only recognizes the commands listed below. Other commands will be stripped out of your file when it is uploaded. Once you have uploaded your file, you can use any of the available HTML tags to edit your file in the text box. See available commands>> Important Note about Line Spacing: It is important to note one quirk of the WomenArts Network concerning line spacing. The program is set to recognize the Enter or Return key as a traditional carriage return, (i.e. if you are typing in your text, and you hit Enter, the cursor will move to the beginning of the next line) EXCEPT if the program encounters a <p>, the HTML tag for a new paragraph, or a <br the HTML tag for a line break, it assumes that the user is setting all of the line spaces with these tags. The reason for this quirk is that we wanted women who are unfamiliar with HTML to be able to type their information directly into the text boxes without worrying about any formatting issues. However, when word processor files are converted to HTML, extra lines are often inserted. If you have uploaded an HTML file, and you find that the lines are spaced too far apart, try looking at the file in the text box and removing some of the tags that say <p> or </p>. If you remove all of the tags that say <p>, </p>, or <br>, then you can space your text in the text box using the Enter key as you normally would.
List of Available HTML Tags on the WomenArts Network You can use the HTML tags listed below
anywhere in your personal statement/mission statement, current project description,
short bio/history, resume, or review excerpts. The WomenArts Network program
will not recognize any other codes at this time. You can use these tags in combinations, you just need to remember that when you enter a tag to turn on boldface, italics, underlining, centering, or the beginning of a list, that formatting feature will stay on until you enter the tag to turn it off. If all of your text is suddenly formatted in bold or italics or bullets, it probably means that you forgot to enter the tag to turn that feature off. If this happens, save your file and then go back to edit it and enter the appropriate closing tag. Two ways to do boldface <b> and <strong>
