611. CalGal - 11/14/1999 5:21:36 AM No, the close table is what starts the wrap. And I just learn this as I go along--it was Soup that started me on the right track. I'm a lazy coder, quite frankly. 612. CalGal - 11/14/1999 5:22:28 AM Oh, wait.
But consider that table align=left then takes the following text and moves it to the left.
The text following the table. Not the text in the table.
I am also a lazy tech writer.

CalGal - 11/14/1999 5:35:58 AM Looks great, no unsightly spaces, no wrapping. 616. JJBiener - 11/15/1999 1:14:28 AM This is a test 617. JudithAtHome - 11/15/1999 1:16:33 AM Great! It worked.... 618. Uzmakk - 11/15/1999 10:41:52 AM Dusty:
That Dec.5 book signing is at Harbor Center in Annapolis, MD and not the Inner Harbor, Baltimore, MD. Alas, I was looking forward to the possibility of meeting my first Motie in the flesh. Oh well. 619. Dusty - 11/15/1999 8:44:12 PM Ooops, sorry. That's not particularly close. Although I should get to Annapolis sometime. 620. dusty - 11/16/1999 2:20:15 AM | Engine | Status | When Active? |

MSN wants a description. I'll work on something, but I want feedback before I submit it. Lycos specifically notes that it does not use Meta tag info, while Altavista specifically does. (I can resubmit after we add the meta tag data.)
(Testing here, just to make sure I don't screw up the table again.)621. dusty - 11/16/1999 2:20:25 AM OK? 624. Dusty - 11/16/1999 9:04:09 PM Schehezarade
Yikes, what am I saying? Target="new" doesn't work for images.
What you want is the width command.
Width="xxx" where xxx is no greater than 425
Tell you what, I'll remove 622 and 623, and we can start over. 625. Schehezarade - 11/16/1999 9:09:19 PM Thanks Dusty! 626. Schehezarade - 11/16/1999 9:10:27 PM Dusty
I can see the photo, can you? I know it's enormous, but I'm still not sure how to reduce it. 627. Dusty - 11/16/1999 9:14:16 PM 
Here is the command (With an extra space so it will display, not execute)
< img src="http://earthstation1.simplenet.com/wwiipics/Hitler_Gestures_2_jk.jpg" width="300">
628. Dusty - 11/16/1999 9:19:50 PM Alternatively, if you want people to see the entire phote, but don't want to mess up the thread, use the following command (removing the two extra spaces):
< A HREF="http://earthstation1.simplenet.com/wwiipics/Hitler_Gestures_2_jk.jpg" Target="new">< IMG SRC="http://earthstation1.simplenet.com/wwiipics/Hitler_Gestures_2_jk.jpg"WIDTH=150>
(Click on image to see full-size) 629. Schehezarade - 11/16/1999 9:22:52 PM Is this (with the space) what I had originally linked?
< img src="http://earthstation1.simplenet.com/wwiipics/Hitler_Gestures_4_jk.jpg" target="new">
630. Dusty - 11/16/1999 9:24:50 PM Schehezarade
No
Note gestures_2 versus gestures_4 631. Schehezarade - 11/16/1999 9:27:13 PM Sorry about that, I went back to the website and clicked on a different photo. Let me see if I can do it the right way --
632. Schehezarade - 11/16/1999 9:27:59 PM Thank you Dusty! Is width 300, generally speaking, the desired size for the Mote?
