One good thing about the old thread, though, was that it had links to here (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/) and to here (http://www.ncdesign.org/html/list.htm).

Now try the <blockquote> tag again, not forgetting the hash marks:
But make no mistake about it, the public domain, that informational commons, free to all uses and users, has real social and cultural value. It's a creation of the very first copyright law, the Statute of Anne of 1710, and it's importance is reflected in the limited times language of the copyright clause of the United States Constitution. Discussions of the public domain which center on whether high quality reprints of classics cost more or less than cheaply produced mass market paperbacks trivialize the concept of the public domain by overlooking its more central function as the source to which the creative men and women of each generation turn for the materials they refashion into new and newly valuable works of imagination.

--Law Professor Peter Jaszi, Testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, September 20, 1995.

One more crack at it:

The limited scope of the copyright holder's statutory monopoly, like the limited copyright duration required by the Constitution, reflects a balance of competing claims upon the public interest: Creative work is to be encouraged and rewarded, but private motivation must ultimately serve the cause of promoting broad public availability of literature, music, and the other arts. The immediate effect of our copyright law is to secure a fair return for an "author's" creative labor. But the ultimate aim is, by this incentive, to stimulate artistic creativity for the general public good.

-- Twentieth Century Music Corp. v. Aiken, 422 U.S. 151, 156 (1975)(footnotes omitted).

I should delete it, but it's too cool to delete. I'll leave it for Max to delete. He doesn't like embedded images - but this is a practice thread, so the rules are a bit relaxed.

JON!! THAT IS SO KOOL!! I love the tune AND THE NIFTY HTML!! I am working on my own and Roger's websites, which are not up, yet. I find learning it to be tedious, but it's so fun once i figure something out!

I am sitting here just smiling listening! Thanks, kat

From: Jon Freeman

Kat,I don't know the HTML language - I tend to let other programs do the work and copy and paste from there. e.g. If Iput up a "blue clicky thing" I have almost certainly used Outlook Express and taken (and possibly modifed) the relevant bit of the HTML source from there.

I suppose the one thing that does make it easier for me is that to some degree, I can understand Pascal, Basic, C++,Java,SQL... ie.programming languages so it is reasonably easy or me to know which bit of the HTML I need.

To the best of my knowledge, that tune is traditional Welsh.

I will be playing this week at:

The Y.O. Ranch , on Ross in Dallas's West End on Fri Nov 12 from 7 to 11PM

The Celtic Quill, on Laws @ Munger, also in Dallas's West End on Sat Nov 13. I will be playing the Quill with my friend and occasional music partner, the dashing, the outrageous, the effervescent, Rene Lawrence (see pics link below).

As always, I will be at the Sons of Hermann acoustic jam on Thursday night. This is one of Dallas's oldest, and best sessions. It starts at about 7:30 and runs 'til the last player drops or the place closes at 1. If yer in Dallas on any Thursday, and ya love real live, acoustic music; Ya gotta see the jam at the Sons!

I have posted a few pics from last week's show at the Emerald Mist where many of Dallas's top Celtic and folk performers played a benefit for one of the Southwest Celtic Music Association members. There're also a couple of pics from Halloween. By the way, Jed Marum is the name I use for performance. If y'all are in Dallas and have a chance to stop by, I would love to see ya!

Benjamin, you have to place the font tag inside the anchor tag to make it work.
Otherwise this happens:
the browser sees the font tag which says to make the following text orange.
then the browser sees the anchor tag which says to make the link text the standard link color.

Just a suggestion to reduce these HTML test postings.

In your favourite text editor, create a new file and save it. The name of the file does not matter, but the extension should be .htm or .html
Now type whatever you want to test (what you would have posted here) in that file.
Now open this file in your browser (type the path to it in your browser's address bar). You should see the contents as a web page.

If you now save this address in your bookmarks/favourites, you can easily test whatever you write in your file.

Besides reducing the number of postings here, you can do this offline so you can save money doing this

This is just a suggestion, if you have problems with HTML I am always willing to help! But I think many of these postings don't need to be here...

Dicho, in the Twinkle thread you wrote:

On long urls, my eyes give out before I get it down. I won't bother with them in the future.

and I replied, "You're probably making the process much harder than it needs to be." I say "probably" because I don't know what sort of system you're using, what browser etc., and there are some configurations that will force you to copy URLs out by eye and hand --- but if like most folks you're using some version of Netscape or IE, and either one (as well as most other browsers I've seen) have an "Address" line right above the part of the screen where the webpage shows up. It may not be called "Address" (Netscape calls it "Location"), but whatever it's called, it displays the URL of the webpage you're currently looking at. It is possible to hide this line (to increase the usable screen space) so if you are using a common browser and don't see the URL displayed as I described, click on "View" and select "Toolbar" (in IE, or "Show" in Netscape) and make sure it's turned on (checkmark should show).

Now, if you click or double-click on the URL in the "Address/Location" toolbar line, it should be highlighted. Once it's highlighted, you should be able to "Copy" it (click on "Edit" and select "Copy", if you don't know the keyboard shortcut (usually Ctrl+C) to use for this). Once you've "copied" the URL you can "Paste" it wherever you want, e.g. into the space between the double quotes in the expression <a href="">Mozart</a> ... and voilà, you'll be able to copy URLs with about four keystrokes and no eyestrain, instead of whatever you've been doing heretofore. This is particularly handy in Mudcat for referring from one thread to another.

Let me know...
