Quick Text Hints for Plurk

Plurk HintsWhen typing the text for your Plurks you’ll find there are many ways to clean up your threads by using simple text tricks. You can use these to go bold, use italics, hyperlink text, underline text, and link to Plurker profiles.

Hyper Linking in Plurk
This is a big one. Plurkers, including myself, should try and get in the habit of cleaning up URL’s and using text based links when Plurking. To do this, add both your link title as well as the full URL. It should look like this when typing it: http://www.plurkable.com (Plurkable)

Making Words Bold
Simply add the ** asterisk symbols before and after a word like this: **word**. Use bold to emphasis words or phrases in your thread replies and Plurks.

Linking User Names to User Accounts
This works the same as Twitter in that you simply use the @ symbol like this: @Username. This will generate a link in the user name that goes directly to the user account/profile.

Underlining Text in Plurks
I’m not exactly sure why you would want or need to do this, but it can be done. Add a double __ underscore symbol before and after a word like this: __word__ will.

Using Italics In Plurks
Italics are another way to emphasis words or phrases, and Plurk allows you to use them whenever you need. To use it just add the * asterisk symbol before and after a word like this: *word*. It’s quick, easy, and works like a charm.

Enjoy!

    Wow! I knew the URL thing, but not the others. They need to add more quick-code functions like that!

    I like the tips too but I don’t see the “upside down writing” tip.

    I’m wondering how to link user names with more than one word? If you use @Mark Lim, only the mark would be hyper linked, and that’s a different user.

    Hiya, i have seen your site when searching a few weeks ago and i really love the design! I just bought a new 3 character domain (cost me a packet) for a niche review blog, and i was wondering if your design is a free or paid one? I’m new to Wordpress and about to set it up, and i would really like to get something with a similar look to yours. Any ideas where i could download or buy something similar? Thanks for your help! :)
