Plurk 101 – Your Plurking Guide

Recently, I have been spending time on Plurk. First of all, It is a time well spent because I can interact with other people and I get ideas for new posts. Also I get to have some fun time. When I started with Plurk, I didn’t know how to do alot of things such as making a URL, or referring to someone. Making the text italics, or bold. Well I asked a question on Plurk, and found that someone already have wrote a guide.

I think it won’t hurt to have something on my blog like that as well, so next time I won’t be searching for a guide, I will directly visit my own site, and my readers will see it here as well. First of all fellas, if you want to make connections with other webmasters and bloggers.

JOIN PLURK NOW and add me as a friend because Balkhis Plurk Page is the Home for Webmasters and Bloggers.

Once you have joined Plurk, then you would use these guides below.

Inserting a URL in your Plurk

Just type in the format like this http://www.balkhis.com (Balkhis) so basically url.com (anchor text), and this will get you a text link.

Referring to a specific username

Alot of times when you plurk, two people ask you two different questions, so you would need to specify the answer to each of them, so just add @username so @balkhis will directly link to that user which means that you are referring to that user.

Making the Text Bold

Put double asteriks around a word will make it bold. So simply just put **Balkhis** will make it bold.

Italicizing the Text

Wrap around the text in one asterik. For example *Balkhis* will make the text italicized.

Underlining the Text

Use double underscore before and after the word. So make it __Balkhis__ will make the word underlined.

To show video

Just enter the url and plurk, and it will show a thumbnail.
