Craigslist HTML Guide:

As mentioned in previous posts, while almost all HTML tags are not allowed, there are still a few useful HTML elements and attributes that are supported by Craigslist. We recommend the following tags – use them sparingly for best results.

Bold:

Use bolding to highlight your single property Website address or the most important features. Bolding should be used sparingly:

<B>

</B>

E.g. Text between <b>and</b> is bolded.

Lists:

Lists are easy to read and are a great way to highlight best features. We recommend limiting your list to about 8 or 10 items:

<UL></UL> – Unordered list, this uses bullets not numbers

<OL></OL> – Ordered list, this uses numbers

<LI></LI> – Actual item(s) placed inside of <UL> or <OL> tags

E.g.

  • This is first list item
  • This is second list item
  • This is third list item

Headers:

Header tags are an excellent way to make a headline in the body of your ad. Be careful not to put too much text in your header or your text will wrap awkwardly.

<H1>

</H1>

E.g. Text between <H1>and</H1> is bolded and larger.

Note: <H2> thru <H6> is also supported but we recommend using <H1> to avoid too many sizes/variations.

Other Supported Tags:

<U></U> – Underline
<I></I> – Italics
<BIG></BIG> – Increase font size
<SMALLl></SMALL> – Decreases font size
<HR></HR> – Horizontal line
<P /> – New paragraph
<BR /> – New line

How To Post Your Single Property Website To Craigslist – Part 3

This is part three in our four part series explaining how to post your single property Website to Craigslist. The previous parts can be found here: one, two.

The following tips continue to help you create a great Craigslist ads using the AgencyLogic auto-generated HTML as a starting point:

4. Photos: All photos in your ads must now be uploaded using the Craigslist photo uploader. Definitely add photos! Each ad is allowed 24 photos but we recommend that you limit the number of photos to the best ones. Also upload photos that highlight details mentioned in your description. Also, you may want to point out many more photos they can expect to find on the single property Website (i.e. “55 more photos available on property site”).

5. Add a Screenshot: Consider adding a screenshot of your single property Website as one of the photos. Viewers be able to quickly recognize that you’re providing them with a source for much more information on the listing. Also, since there is no way to specifically add your logo/branding to the Craigslist ad itself (other than typing your company name), uploading a screenshot of your single property Website is a clever way to get your logo and branding into the ad.

6. Maximize the HTML: If you’re feeling adventurous or are comfortable with using HTML tags, use lists to highlight best features. Some HTML list tags are still accepted (<UL>, <OL>, <LI>). Tomorrow will will detail more examples and will provide a guide to other currently allowed HTML tags.
