A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

Mission Impossible

Good morning, Finest Readers - your mission for today, should you choose to accept it, is to *set a pretty table* by making at least one post using the html *table* text I have provided below. Just follow these instructions, and it should be quite interesting - and fun for all!

• There are SIX examples to choose from.

• Copy and paste only one example/group of html text into a comment post. You will have to preview it to see the backgrounds and borders.

• After you choose the one you like, please type a story, a joke, a poem, or whatever *into the space you will have when you delete THIS sentence*: "Delete this whole sentence and put your post here instead."

• A word of caution - if you use more than one paragraph for your post, DO NOT USE THE <P>!!!!! Use <BR><BR> between the paragraphs instead!

• Additionally, if you want to illustrate your post with a graphic, please use only one, and place it above any of your text.

One more thing about the graphics - for this *pretty table* to work right, please make sure your graphic is no wider than 400 pixels, or it will stretch all the backgrounds. If you don't know how to find the width of a graphic, right-click on the graphic you're using, choose "properties" and it will give you the diminsions, width first. It is always good to include the width and height of graphics in your img src command when you post them, too. If you don't include the width and height in your command, as we are reading, the text jumps around and we lose our place when the graphics begin to open from that little tiny square!

OK! Ready? Choose from these SIX!

Remember, it takes *all* the text between each divider for one *post*!

Unlike the *real* Mission: Impossible, this thread will *not* self-destruct in five seconds, so let's have some fun with it. If you'd like to try some other backgrounds/borders, you can do that, too. Change the urls, and you get a whole different look! (Sistahs, please feel free to do your own thing with a layout of *your* choice!)

Now the question is: "Who's going to be first to set their table?"

THIS WEEK'S THREADS 06-06-05 Military Monday

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

Excellent, jaycee! Lol, I Love those 2 Smilies in the 2nd Table; they're Adorable!

[MEG33]

Applause! Just keep it up..delete a table in preview just to see what will happen..leaving the rest..

[jaycee]

“delete a table in preview just to see what will happen..leaving the rest..”

To delete a whole table, where do I start exactly and end it, just to be sure I am removing only one part. You gotta understand this is hard for me....right now....it will get better, I hope! Maybe if you explain that, it will be clearer.

[MEG33]

Where it begins <table background = and ends with center after the tr td. Perhaps I am confusing you..Just stick with what you are doing for now .

[jaycee]

That may be a better idea for now, Meg!

I had to go to the grocery store. I was craving spaghetti again and the smell of it cooking is driving me crazy! I like to cook mine a good while, it only gets better as you probably already know!

I just blew my patio off....what a nightmare those leaves are! Do you have many leaves? We won’t be through with them for about six more weeks! Hope you are having a good day. I checked in at the Canteen and heard some of Norah Jones music. I didn’t have time then to try more!

[jaycee]

How pretty that is Kitty!

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you, my Sweet Sister in our Lord! He Created a Lovely Sky that Day!

[jaycee]

Yes, Everything He creates is beautiful, isn’t it? That is a sweet picture of Him you posted with a simple little table.

[jaycee]

By the way, your typed command worked perfectly for me, didn’t it?

[Kitty Mittens]

It’s Fun to Post Pics and Work on Tables, and you are Doing So Well, jaycee, and Learning So Much Faster than I did when I First Started! : )

[jaycee]

Good Morning, Billie. Do not know what I am doing!

[jaycee]

I do not know what was happening in my life in the posts above in (2007) but do you know I can’t hardly remember trying those? I believe I was so nervous that I blocked it from my memory...I swear its true.

The last one I just tried this morning....wished I would have tried a little larger gif. for the middle. If I can find some time, I will need to just keep trying and trying and maybe I could do some simple ones that you have laid out for us.
