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.

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.

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

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.

the <blink> tag is not in the standard html. It is a Netscape extension to the standard. It will not work in other browsers (same as Microsoft's <marquee> tag).
