There are several characters that you cannot type directly into HTML. You must use code to represent those characters. you can use either the entity number or the entity name in your code.
| Character |
Entity Number |
Entity Name |
Description |
| “ |
" |

quotation mark |
| ‘ |
' |
' (does not work in IE) |
apostrophe |
| & |
& |
& |
ampersand |
| < |
< |
< |
less-than |
| > |
> |
> |
greater-than |
You embed these codes into your HTML:
110 < 150 & 150 > 110
To give you:
110 < 150 & 150 > 110

I apologize. This blog had a major meltdown the past couple of days. I had to reinstall Wordpress, and this resulted in some of my posts getting corrupted. Please be patient with me while I update the nonsensical code found on some posts.
In addition, some of the most important plugins were the naughty bits of code that totally busted links all over my blog. I have disabled them, and I will slowly be re-enabling them as plugin developers catch up with the latest update to Wordpress and/or as I write the plugins myself.
Thank you for your patience!

I see many blogs and articles that teach you how to use the latest technology tricks and how to use marketing techniques on your site. However, research on human-computer interaction has found that design of web sites should be based on user needs and goals. If you base your site design on user needs, then they will come back to your site over and over. I will be writing a series on various important issues you need to consider when designing web sites. These issues include:
- Psychology of your users
- Task analysis
- User goals and expectations
- User feedback
- Issues when updating the design on your site
- When to use the coolest technologies on your site
- Making your site “findable”
