To: The Ghost of FReepers Past

I work the graveyard shift so I get and read the paper 5 mornings a week. The problem is that as far as computers go I am as dumb as a stump. I tried to post an article from Rhonda lokeman on Ronald Reagan but alas I was too dumb.
You can ping me or FReep mail me anytime. A coordinated offensive would be better than what we're doing now.

Don't fret. You'll get better at the computer. Just take it a step at a time. Regarding posting articles: Go to the printer friendly version of the column, right-click your mouse, click on "view source," right click mouse again, click "select all," right click again, click "copy." Then come to FR and go to the posting page. Click on the body of the article section so that you see your curser, then right click your mouse, click on "paste," and you will see a bunch of gibberish. That is the HTML code for the printer-friendly format of the particle. Just fill in the rest of the info.

When it asks for article url you can back up to the printer friendly page again, highlight the url in your address box near the top of your computer screen, copy it, forward to your posting page and paste the address on the correct line. In fact, do that before you print the article just in case there is a problem. You can always just write the URL down on a piece of paper and type it in if you are having difficulty going back and forth between the pages.

I hope that makes some sense. Just experiment.
