Maggie's Farm

Okay, there's good news and bad news.

The good news is that ol' Doc Murky is an ornery, cantankerous old bastard with no scruples or sense of protocol whatsoever, and actually dared to contact the webmaster directly and hound the poor bastard into adding the new stuff. As Grandma always said, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Presenting: The first embedded link in Maggie's history.

And the first picture:



Vanessa Hudgens, ultra-mink.

And the first italics!

And we also have colored text. You have these colors available to you:

• Red
• Blue
• Yellow
• any other color using the hexidecimal code

And, as you can see above, we can do lists.

And you can 'blockquote' others:



(I'll have to look into getting the font style changed and get rid of the Bold)

That's the good news.

The bad news is that all the above has to be done manually. No cute buttons and pop-out box for the link like on Ace's or Michelle's. You can click on the "BBCode" link below for the layout, but I'll whip up an easier-to-read page in a bit.

On the flip side, though, although we have to do it manually, I'd note that we have a lot more options than the average blogsite has. Most of them can't do colored text, employ lists, embed pictures, and a few other tricks this stuff can do.

And, if you happened to notice something vital missing from this list, well, that's why Maggie's brought me aboard. Ornery, cantankerous -- and with the courage to tread where few dare to tread!

I noticed my personal fave, Strikethrough fonts, was missing from the BBCode page. Not hesitating an eyeblink, I promptly tried the Strikethrough code and it worked!

That Doc Murky -- what an omnipotent god nice guy!

Have fun, gang.

Vilmar - Yes, the software has an option to add the TARGET= command, but the bloggers weren't using it. I pointed it out to BD after using the editor last Friday for the first time and he's passing the tip along to the others.

Meta - Race? In what? As the pondiferous RadioHowie told me when I got the Firebird, "Stay away from the Shelbys and the road is yours." I totally waxed a brand new BMW a while back, but I think the kid was more startled an American sedan was keeping pace with him than anything else.

"My AOL ball spins too long. Do I need RAM?"

No, quite the opposite. As long as it's spinning, it's proof positive that your computer still has plenty of extra power.

"[Vanessa Hudgens] seems out of place here on the farm." - Jephnol

Pardon me, but did you just say a Disney girl was inappropriate for Maggie's Farm? I mean, a Disney girl?

Snow White?

Cinderalla?

Princess Fiona?

You got some pretty high standards, buddy!
