Using Strikethrough Font in Blogger
Using strikethrough font in blogger is overrated and entails an extremely convoluted process helpful and very easy to implement. It uses a simple html tag, which is just code that tells your editor how to display certain things. Html tags have to be opened and closed. Tags are opened by putting a greater than sign (<), then the tag content, followed by a lesser than sign (>). They are closed by doing the same process except with a backslash (/) before the tag content.
To strike through a word, make sure you are on the "edit html" tab and then surround the word you wish to strike through with an "s" tag.
Substituting the "s" in these examples will perform various functions. For example, "b" for bold; "i" for italics; etc. Strikethrough will work for posts, but not for comments in blogger.
Now that you know how to strike through words, your posts will look pretty much the same as before certainly look innovative and creative.
Note: to use strike through font in an inferior blogging medium Wordpress posts and comments, replace the "s" in the above examples with "strike".

Thank you for this sir, much appreciated.
thank you very much, just what I was googling, er I mean, searching for. :)
oh, and I didn't have to click "edit html", I just put it right there in the text.
I wish there was a keyboard shorcut like for italics, underline etc.
Thank you so much, that was very helpful.
Thanks. That was quick and painless!

Thank you very much for this information.
Again, thanks!
Thank you for the advice but it doesn't help when Blogger no longer accepts strikethrough tags on comments (it used to, why no longer I wonder?)
I have to say I find it very funny that you would call Wordpress inferior when (on topic) you can use this tag in both post and comment on WP but for some inexplicable reason can no longer use strikethrough in comments on Blogger!
I'm a Typepad girl. I don't care about Blogger or WP especially. I just find your logic amusing.

You have indeed exposed a gaping hole in my logic. My preference for blogger over Wordpress is completely irrational and based on whim rather than proven functionality. At this point, I can offer no explanation for this behavior. :)
One must follow one's heart, I suppose!

I have been wanting to know about this. Thanks.
Thanks for the tip!
I think I love you! Just kidding. I finally googled this after almost 3 years of wondering your very clear and helpful post came up. Thanks a million!!! I am now officially very annoyed at myself for not doing it sooner. Like, 3 years ago! :)
