Mon/Tues 2nd Chance Clearinghouse For Posts Deserving Another Look - Updated Daily
This daily post is a clearinghouse for links to posts that either flew
by too fast, didn't get the attention they deserved, or are so good
they need to be up even longer...
ANYONE can link a post here. If you do, please describe it briefly and tell us why it deserves another look.
The quality of posting around here seems to be getting very good, and some of the better ones are coming from new faces! This is a good place to highlight them, but they are moving fast again and the archives are still messed up, so get them linked here!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take the time to rec this post, even if you don't read any of the links or add anything. It only works if it makes it to READER REC everyday. If it barely makes it, it gets bounced off and good links are lost.

Even THAT didn't work! :-) I typed the word (only all squished together, no spaces...

Well, this is more than embarrassing. That time I typed out all the code you gave me only w/ spaces between everything so it would show up instead of disappearing! Obviously didn't work...Whole instructions again?
Sorry Chris! I'm trying!

And make sure there is a space between the a and href
Here's the link
Cut the URL from the address bar of your browser and paste it between the quotation marks.
You'll get it.

Well seashell is smarter than I am, as I put both quotation marks in.
Do what seashell wrote but put a space between the a and href and include quotation marks around the URL.

Chris, the only way to get the html tags to show is by using symbols for the < and >, instead of shift comma and shift period, if that makes any sense. The 4 letters to make the symbols are &/l/t/; and &/g/t/; - but take out the forward slash in between them, which I had to use so the letters wouldn't convert to the symbols. :-)
