I had to change the code, the font I had typed in. Using FixedSys as the font had stopped working. Or, maybe it never did except for my own web browser. Anyway, the description for the ASCII Art category in the Curlie directory is showing ASCII art again (in the HTML). It works!
Note – This was originally posted to a friend’s site in 2011. Her site is down now so I’ve reposted it, mostly for myself, here.
I’ve been working with ASCII Art again this year. It’s been awhile since I was active in the old ASCII art groups or wrote about it for WZ.com as a newsletter.… Read the rest
Some people get peeved because I don’t offer my art in a plain text file. I don’t like having my ASCII ripped off, as it so often and easily is. So, for the past few years, I only post an image file (a .png screen capture from NotePad usually). It still gets ripped off because people like to assume any ASCII art is free, like free software in price and availability.… Read the rest

You can add ASCII art to the source code for your own site or blog.… Read the rest
I found a blog posting ASCII art in small text files, cleanly. Quite a nice achievement. I took a look at the code and copied it, but it did not work the same way for me. So, I am looking into it. There may be more to the code than shows on the blog post HTML code.… Read the rest
Unfortunately, I can not find the original source I read for this idea and my image showing how I did get it to work is also lost due to moving my site around and losing post content. So, this post is a bit of a bust now. It should work but somehow I’m not getting it to load with the ASCII art in the alt description.… Read the rest
Just wondering how ASCII art will post in here. (It didn’t work). These are a couple of mine.
Why are there always weird little kinks when you post ASCII art in HTML versus using an image file. It is a lot easier to use an image file. I’ve tried but I have yet to find a reliable way to post them otherwise.… Read the rest
