Free Craigslist Post Template

We have all see the Craigslist posts that stand out from others. The font is bigger and bolder and it just looks more professional. You may wonder how this is done. But the truth is, it is way easier that you may think. Craigslist allows you to use HTML just like when designing a web page.

The Craigslist on the left is created with an easily edited script that you can use just by copying the code and posting it in the "Posting Description" box.

You generally won't want to edit anything inside a set of brackets <> but if you need a longer list, you can add bullet points just by adding <li> at the front of the line and </li> at the end of the line. Make sure not to remove or edit the </ul> at the end of line.

You may also notice the ♥ in the front and rear of the "Posting Title". There are several images that use code to produce images. For example, the heart is made just by typing &hearts; at the beginning of your title. There are more HERE. NOTE: if you have to edit your Craigslist post, you will have to retype your image code in the posting title.

Going even a step further, you may have also noticed that some Craigslist posts have great big pictures instead of the puny stock photos. It is very easy to achieve this, but you have to have your images hosted elsewhere like PhotoBucket. Simply insert the following code where you want the image to appear. At photobucket, you will use the "direct link" and put it between the quotation marks. You can use as many pictures as you want this way, and you may choose not to upload pictures the Craigslist way. Hint: keep the image smaller than 1000 pixels wide.
