The wonders of HTML

[chickenfeet]

I have been wondering for a while how clever people get the lj-user image and link to appear with something other than the user name as text. I assumed there must be some parameter setting on the lj-user tag. Apparently not. It appears that if you want John to appear instead of chickenfeet2003 you have to use the following:

<a href="http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=chickenfeet2003"><img alt="chickenfeet2003" height="17" src="http://www.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif" border="0" width="17" align="absmiddle"></a><b><a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/chickenfeet2003/">John</a></b>

instead of

<lj user="chickenfeet2003">

Who'd have thunk it!

In the Semagic client you can do it just by filling in a form. :-)

Happy Birthday, btw. This time it's timely. ;-)
