That's nice!
If you marked your web site with this URL and then kept updating it, in essence you'd have your own fic page.
Re: *guilty look at dusty book*
And if my dept. runs workshop on how to "capture" images from DVDs and VHSs to put in Power POint, no doubt I can learn more about visual stuff (though will NOT do Power Point). I have a strong philosophical objection to PP due to too many administrators thinking using it improves their presentations (which it doesn't).
Re: *guilty look at dusty book*
:-D
And yep, there's no substitute for content in presentations, LOL!
Re: *guilty look at dusty book*
And add some other links. Whole new horizons opening up. Link heaven!
Well someday I do want one, but it's slipped a bit down on priority list due to Other Stuff
Re: *guilty look at dusty book*
Though of course you do keep your fics on your memories page ... but I think people also tend to look at someone's web page more if there's a link since it seems more natural and people don't necessarily use their memories page to keep track of fic (or even know about it).
Thanks!
Eep, screwed up name above, it's
I do keep the fics on Memory Page, plus some posts of interest in the theory area, plus, ahem, pics (droolworthy ones I want to keep around for ahem inspiration), but have noticed people like the links, all in one place, easier I guess. I still haven't figured out why the 'command' is suddenly working--first it was, then it wasn't, now it is. Great mysteries of the computerverse, I guess.
Great!
Re: Great!
Re:
Don't know why, suddenly the href command started working when I accessed the pages from home. It wasn't earlier. I have no idea why. Innate perversity of inanimate objects around me. But now it is, so spent the last couple of weeks doing this in small increments.
Re: *belated thanks*
(Anonymous)
Re:
I'm impressed.
Also, baranduin obviously knows a LOT about this stuff.
Re: Thanks!
'm still used to thinking in flat earth terms, or paper terms, and of course the joy of the internet (and the frustration) is the hypertextual, the linking capacity. I did learn the command earlier--but when I'd post things (you might remember), it wouldn't work. Suddenly, and I know not the reason, it started to work. So, voila!
I think I just have to go back now and find "Fall of the Steward" and make it a link page, then connect to main page, and that will corral everything (get along, little fics!) in one place.
So to speak. Hypertextually that is....
But now off to do lots and lots and lots of grading....
