Testing: Attach a PDF file to your message

L-Curve: here’s a one-page pdf showing how YOUR “income” stacks up against both rich and poor. Click to view…

Testing uploads of included links - specifically, PDF files. This was not working previously, but now appears to work. I have no (#*$&% idea why. AFAIK the only thing I did different this time was to fill out the title and description… and it worked. I’m fairly sure I didn’t change anything else, so it’s a mystery at this point.

Links

Here’s a quick lesson on posting a link.

0. What’s a “link”?

A link is an entry in the text that gives you a place where you can “click here” to see another website (or another “page” on the same site, or download a file, or… use your imagination). Most of the time, these links are underlined; most of the time, they’re a different color than the rest of the text; most of the time, your cursor changes into a hand or a finger when you move the mose so the cursor touched the link; most of the time, when you click (or double-click) on the link, your browser will change the screen and go to the linked website. It may replace the screen you’re looking at, or it may open a new screen.

1. Make a comment.

At the bottom of this entry is a link called “Comment”. Click on it to get a place where you can type in your comment. Go ahead and describe the link you’re going to post.

2. Add the Magic Link code.

This is really just more typing, but with a little Magic. Here’s what makes the typing into a link:

A reference tag: <a href=”the http address of your link”> Text that will be underlined </a>

Here are the elements, of that link, one at a time:

1. the “less than” sign, followed by
2. “a” and a space, followed by
3. “href =”, followed by
4. the link’s http address in quotes, followed by
5. “greater than” sign, followed by
6. text that will be underlined, where you can click on the link, followed by
7. the closing reference tag, which is just “</a>”

Here’s an example. The place this link will send you is to the “antiwar.com” web site, and we’ll make the text to be clicked on be “no more war”… what you will type in, in the comments will be something like

<a href=”http://www.antiwar.com”no more war</a>

and what will show up on the screen after it’s saved will be this:no more war

TRUE BELIEVERS

Don’t Think. Do What We Tell You.

Years ago I read a book, WILL, by G. Gordon Liddy. It provided a look into the thought processes of a True Believer, a “right man”, someone who makes an excellent enforcer because he knows that his beliefs are True.

True Believers can also be saints, when their belief does not include a built-in requirement that everyone else must be forced to the same beliefs.

There was supposed to be a picture here, but I haven’t been able to get it to upload, yet. Wait a minute…. here it comes…
