Things you can do to help Rayelan make RMN a super Web Newspaper and perhaps learn a new business/trade at the same time ... ABOUT.COM LEARN HTML http://webdesign.about.com/library/beginning/bl_begin.htm?PM=ss11_webdesign HTML AN INTERACTIVE TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS http://www.davesite.com/webstation/html/ Some Quick Tips on posting/e-mailing using HTML ... IMAGES 1 or 2 relevant images on a post helps readers to appreciate your post better ... example: Choose images less than 30Kb size for fast downloads - MAX 50kB Select images from edu/gov sites and not worry about copyright. USE a Search Google or Altavista or other under IMAGE SEARCH function to quickly select best that fits yr post. FONT It also makes a difference to readers when they see some variation in font size for long-er posts suggested sizes +3 2 to -1 Other effects BOLD ITALICS. :-) Simple html knowledge/skills usually achieves desired effect. ...and it makes you feel good to see a welldone page up too! Almost like Artwork ..it's relaxing. Am working on a Web Journal for the University where I am at (dropped out of the rat race ...poor but feel useful!) and that's how picked up these tips/tricks. - Aladdin (self-taught web journalist!) P.S. Rayelan - you forgot to mention all CAPS on Subject Headings.
