Favorites, thank you.
Usually after ten people yelled at you instead of closing it.
Italians be gone!
Speaking of which, what happened to the blinking tag function?
I defer to you to post that one.... :)
THANKS TONS.
1. I put the copyright list in Word in 3 columns and printed for easy ref.
2. The last month or so, “navy” as color can end up green when other colors are put below it. I have to use “000066” to get it to stay navy. I have no idea why.
3. I understand that fonts are a function of one’s browser and settings etc. However, clearly some of the Word fonts work and some do not even in IE8 . . . I don’t know about Firefox, I haven’t dinked around much with fonts and Firefox.
4. If anyone has a list of viable easy to read fonts that also have some uniqueness—that work on FR with IE8, I’d be thrilled to have such a list. Have gone through all the Word fonts I was interested and laboriouisly tried them on FR in IE8 . . . a small percentage worked. And now I’ve misplaced that list. Silly me.
Try the View Source command for items you are having trouble accomplishing.
Right click on any page that has an image posting done in a manner you wish to duplicate. Or for that matter, has any formatting you wish to try and learn.
One of the choices after right clicking is "View Source" which will open a page of text code for that HTML page on your web browser -- in other words, how that page and its code comes across in plain text with the HTML flags.
From post numbers you can (with some study) find your way to the exact image or effect and see the actual code used. Copy and past that code to a notepad or word file for plain text and then modify it for the URL picture you want to post a link to.
Be sure to include the quotes and also to remember that a picture you have on your computer can't be shown -- it must be posted to the web by you or someone else to have a URL address that can be accessed.
It would be great if you’d put the primer up on
TABLES
as well as colored borders for tables
. . .
as well as background colors with some attention as to easy on the eyes colors for backgrounds. Supposedly some research suggests that dark backgrounds and light text is physiologically easier and less tiring on the eyes. That’s why the founders of ATS (AboveTopSecret.com) use black background and grey text as their default. May be but I still like light background and black or navy text. LOL.
If you do the tables primer . . . it would be nice to also know how to size the tables and pair them so that a left side, e.g. which has a bigger paragraph is still kept next to a right side which has a short paragraph in some sort of reasonable proportion—if I’m making sense.
Thank you!

Good idea. I will look into that when I get home from work this evening—unless some other FReeper gets to it first.
Thanks for the helpful summary.
It would be helpful if you could describe how to include tables.
