There is a nice article in today's Boston Sunday Globe which can be read on-line at www.Boston.com. (I don't know how to include the hyperlink, but if anyone out there can explain it, I'd be grateful for some tips.)

>>I don't know how to include the hyperlink, but if anyone out there can explain it, I'd be grateful for some tips. Hi Lorraine, Use the URL Tag: [url=...your link goes here...]...your link goes here...[/url] For example: http://www.dogpile.com The 'url tag' is specific to this forum software - its not HTML but the forum translates it to HTML - stuff in square brackets is 'UBB' code. You'll want to use the square brackets and not replace them with angled brackets as we would do if we were writing HTML. Rgds, __ /im

Ah, JTA, I was HOPING you'd come to my rescue! Of course, the story is no longer on the Boston Globe's website, but I saved it to my hard drive. Is there anyway I can build a link to that?
(I'm saving all these tips from the Planet Fresnel for future use!) Thanks

Unfortunately, no. The page needs to be accessible through a web server. If you know someone with a web server who can make the page available, you can point to it with a URL which they would need to give you.
Then again, the material from the Boston Globe is probably copyrighted. Standard netiquette suggests its a good idea to get permission from the owner of a page before publishing it yourself.

"...do yesterday's internet newspapers line the cyber-cages of virtual birds?" I think they just get piled up in the cyber-attic. I did a search on the Internet a couple years ago on my name and found a dBase III utility program I had written and uploaded to some long forgotten bulletin board at least 8 years prior. John

FYI- For those not courageous enough to find out what Tim's example of www.dogpile.com was, it is not as bad as you might think. Dogpile.com is actually a search engine, not a dog pile.
