Oops, I just discovered that 12 of the posts I thought I'd moved over here never made it.

Not a lot of content lost (not any, really). Sorry A5 and CalGal. Uh, my finger slipped. It is part of the conspiracy. And I refuse to be held accountable. If you don't like that, I'll kick your ass.

Yikes, the missing posts mysteriously reappeared.

Oh well. It was fun to think I was part of the conspiracy there for a minute.

Holy cow, more action in here than we've seen in a long, time, and I missed it.

If at first you don't succeed, try and try again.

So, what I am trying to link is:

The Mote

1184. janjon - 2/10/2000 2:42:58 AM

Well, now look at that. Not the same as my first disaster over in Technical, but a disaster nevertheless.

Any suggestions?

(um, please - refrain from the obvious ones as to telling me where I should go....)

1185. CalGal - 2/10/2000 2:43:32 AM

Very good!

The only thing wrong with your Times post was that you left off the other quote after target="new

This creates much weirdness--far out of proportion to the type of mistake. It's actually better to leave off both quotes than just one.

1186. CalGal - 2/10/2000 2:44:04 AM

WHy is that one a disaster? Unless you weren't trying to link in the Mote?

1187. janjon - 2/10/2000 2:49:52 AM

No, I was trying to link in the NY times article. What I did was type in the The Mote

Arrggh. All my residual insecurities about my technical deficiencies have arisen yet again!

1188. janjon - 2/10/2000 2:51:30 AM

wait a minute. Forgive me for creating all of this, but I didn't type in all the stuff you are supposed to that time. How did it nevertheless link to The Mote?

1189. janjon - 2/10/2000 2:54:31 AM

Let me go at it this way.

Just where does the http etc. for the (in this case) article I was trying to link go? Does it replace the stuff from 207 through asp" or does it replace the words The Mote?

I hope that is clear, but it probably isn't.

1190. CalGal - 2/10/2000 2:56:31 AM

Persevere, JanJon. I shall see you through this.

Your original link was missing a quote after new.

<a href="http://www.nyt.com/library/politics/camp/021000wh-clinton.html" target="new>

But the followup had the opposite problem--one too many quotes.

<a href=""http://www.nyt.com/library/politics/camp/021000wh-clinton.html" target="new">

Note the double quotes before http. Not good. Take one out.

You also want to change the text so it doesn't say "The Mote"

1191. janjon - 2/10/2000 3:02:55 AM

Well, even if I screw this one up, let me thank you in advance, Cal Gal.

Here goes nothing:

Hope EveryBody Likes Political Ads, Because

1192. janjon - 2/10/2000 3:04:22 AM

Yippee!!!


Now, where is that 109109. I have a few things to say to him about all those long (um, tedious in some cases) articles he regurgitates.

Thanks again, CalGal!

1193. sakonige - 2/11/2000 11:38:53 AM

Let's see how this looks....

1196. sakonige - 2/11/2000 11:42:41 AM

ooppss..

1197. sakonige - 2/11/2000 12:07:08 PM

Do you recognize this Roman woman? I found her portrait with Ovid's poetry.

1198. sakonige - 2/11/2000 12:10:02 PM

Have you heard of Metamorphoses?
