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!

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.

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"

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

Here goes nothing:

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!

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?

1200. bubbaette - 2/13/2000 3:35:02 AM

My *first* link. Cal Gal would be so proud of me!

1201. CalGal - 2/13/2000 3:44:14 AM

Well, I'd have been prouder if you used HTML and said:

"My first link."

But I am much impressed anyway. Good for you!
