#1 I had been considering emailing you some fun photos to use, but after learning about your large inventory will hold off on doing so.
As always, thanks for the tips.

#2 Shorter, not longer, titles.

I read that last part as titties at first. I'm glad we got that cleared up.

#4 Any way we can browse you inventory of photos when we are posting an article?

#5 I would like to make two recommendations, Fred, to make things easier for new visitors and those of us whose memory is suffering increasing age-related bit-dropping errors.

1. I suggest putting a link to this article, or a summary thereof, either in the yellow-colored side-bar or as a link in the article entry page.

2. While you're at it, could you put in a link to a page with the moderator color coding chart?

#6 AoS is clearly on the march.

But it might be wise to reconsider one assumption:

We assume y'all read other weblogs for the other news.

For many. Rantburg is the only reliable source of snark on the web.

Who is Lindsey Lohan?

#7 I like Ptah's suggestion and would add to it a 1-2-3 simple guide for how to post articles correctly (for us tech idijts). I know that once I coped a URL and placed it in the article but I did it wrong. Also, some of us are fortunate enough to have Macs for our creative work but unfortunate enough to have those same Macs for communications and text work; any suggestions on how to make formatting work from a Mac would be appreciated (can't underline, can't bold, etc.)

#8 Who is Lindsey Lohan?

Miss Lohan is that poor unfortunate who doesn't realize that the sovereign rememdy for a hangover is two Exedrin washed down with a bloody mary.

#9 Type in the html code, bold is < strong>text< /strong> (without the spaces)etc. Use the preview button to see if you got it correctly.

#10 To access the the picture archive:

Click on the Submit an article thingy near the top of page 1.

When that page pops up, look to the top left, and you'll see the word Photos. Click on that and you'll get thumbnails of the hundreds of photos/pictures/visual resources Fred keeps on file.

Nb: right below the Photos link at the top left of the page, in even bigger letters, it says Before you post, read this! Click on that to read Fred's rules for submissions.

#11 I have noticed that Mods allow 1 totally off-topic post per day. I suppose bratty, over-paid celebrities are Kultur Kampf material, but 1 is enough.

#12 Is there a way to check urls for dups? It can be hard to find them if the submitter snarks up the original title.

It would be nice to have a category for Iran.

#13 Thanks for reminding me! I got an e-mail at work last week with a picture that's perfect for Rantburg, but never got a chance to forward it for consideration. Done now.

Fred, it's up to you, but I think it would be useful for certain political stories ~~about Kennedy, Pelosi, Kerry, etc~~. :-D

#14 And how is Lindsey? I mean, two days of rehab and we've heard nothing! NOTHING!

#15 And we are blessed for it, #14 tu.

#16 We focus on the WoT and matters related to the WoT

The farther away it is from that, the less likely people here want to read it here on Rantburg

Dunno. Paris Hilton and the Rosie/Trump stuff gets lots of attention

#17 Thanks, NS. I simply gotta take an HTML course one of these days. I copied your comments and will keep them by my computer.

#18 It would be nice to have a category for Iran.

It's lumped in with Lebanon and Syria. At this point it's more appropriate*.

*Besides, regardless of how much Dinnerjacket sez how important they are, Iran doesn't deserve a category of its own IMNSHO.

#19 Only when I got to the 'Burg did I get style, and I thank ye for that.

#20 Here, here, fever!

Thanks to all of you here and guiding me to get some style too! Not the "leggings for men" type style, but a way to vent some steam at the idiocy that abounds in our own nation! Gives me hope that "We the People" will actually have a future on this here ground we live on!
