Which thread? I think I've lost the thread of the conversation.
I'm sorry I can't help out right now, but I expect to have more time in April. Let's see what's happening then. I might enjoy hosting a discussion of some aspect of the Americas. Including a focus on Spanish language usage could make a thread on the Americas more interesting and worthwhile. 973. CalGal - 2/2/2000 10:57:16 AM Relax, everyone. I'm not changing the format. We're just experimenting to see if what the max width is we could have with a thread consisting only of images. Sounds like 640 is too wide for most. 974. soupisgoodfood - 2/2/2000 12:38:24 PM The EM dash.
Learn it. Love it. 975. PelleNilsson - 2/2/2000 3:35:33 PM Sakonige
In the meantime, we can use the technique of linking the small picture to the larger original. Look here for an example.
The syntax is
(a href="ImageSource")(img src="ImageSource" width=300>(/a)
Replace the round brackets with angled ones.
width=300 gives the size shown in the example. You can use any value up to 425. 976. Uzmakk - 2/3/2000 1:01:47 AM How about this for a print advertising slogan--
Chat so good its news. 977. Dantheman - 2/3/2000 1:04:47 AM Uzmakk,
Not that it's my call, but it sounds good. It's needs an apostrophe, though. 978. Uzmakk - 2/3/2000 1:11:27 AM Quite right, Dantheman. 979. Uzmakk - 2/3/2000 1:12:33 AM Ofcourse, we will fancy up the typography a bit. 980. CalGal - 2/3/2000 1:38:21 AM Uz,
I'm not happy with referring to our discussions as "chat". I think that gives the wrong impression?
But I might have an atypical response to the word. 981. Uzmakk - 2/3/2000 2:46:18 AM I pondered that very point, Cal. "Talk", ofcourse, was the alternative word. But "chat" seems to be the generic term for what goes on at sites like ours. I don't think that it will be that off putting to the socially challeged, egocentric, arrogant, self-promoting, nerdy bastards that we are trying to attract. Remember, its only to bring them in. Whether they decide to stay, well, that's another question. 982. CalGal - 2/3/2000 2:48:58 AM Oh, I do think it will be offputting to that group, which is a key demographic for us.
It wouldn't be offputting to the more friendly sorts who don't think "chat" is a perjorative. 983. Uzmakk - 2/3/2000 2:53:51 AM Talk so good it's news. Sounds like a talk-radio commercial, but the meaning would be obvious enough with the web address. 984. Uzmakk - 2/3/2000 2:55:44 AM ehwwww!!! A talk-radio commercial. That makes "talk" a perjorative. 985. CalGal - 2/3/2000 3:04:13 AM Yeah, I agree--talk doesn't work. Discussion is too long; it needs to be one syllable. Hmm. I shall chew. 986. Uzmakk - 2/3/2000 3:12:20 AM How about "Be Part of a New Equation" for the Spence types. 987. CalGal - 2/3/2000 3:14:32 AM Hey, I like that better. Obscure but catchy. 988. Uzmakk - 2/3/2000 5:57:08 AM I recall you guys were throwing out slogans a while back. I liked--
"Come for the character assassination, stay for the mental abuse." 989. CalGal - 2/3/2000 6:48:46 AM Yes, I think that's good too. Maybe a bit milder, though, so as not to scare the timid? 990. OhioSTOPAS - 2/3/2000 7:11:36 PM (Just "practicing", to see if I've got the linking instructions right.)
Here is a link to "The Daily Howler".
991. CalGal - 2/3/2000 10:26:44 PM You are an excellent student, grasshopper.
