HTML: The Definitive Guide is aimed at beginners as well as those who have more practice in Web-page creation. The authors assume at least a basic knowledge of computers, including how to use a word processor or text editor and how to deal with files. They teach you that learning HTML is like learning any other language and that reading a book of rules can only take you so far. Readers begin writing what may be their first Web page just two pages into the book's second chapter. From there on, they provide a wide range of HTML coding to allow readers to learn from good examples. The book includes a handy "cheat sheet" of HTML codes for quick reference.

Matthewbuchanan:

The Tumblr folks have released an integrated search for individual tumblelogs. I’ve implemented it here and it works superbly. I use a few lines of JavaScript to convert the standard textfield into an OS X-style search widget for Webkit browsers like Safari.

Here’s the code required to add a search form to your theme:

    <form action="/search" method="get">
        <input type="text" name="q" value="{SearchQuery}"/>
        <input type="submit" value="Search"/>
    </form>

Check the Staff post above for some new custom theme tags. A slight hack is required at present to get {block:NoSearchResults} working — check out Jacob’s site where he includes an inline CSS rule to prevent duplicate content when using this tag.

I’ll add search support to the next release of my Vertigo theme.
