Valuable Links

I will compile as complete a list as possible of tips that I have found to be valuable from the Onelist sites I belong to and the various postings in news groups.

1)Here is what you do to make your pages load faster. First of all, this will not work, linking from one server to another. So, ie: You must use transloaded gifs, at your tripod account, on a tripod page, etc. (img src="car.gif") Now, if they are in a subdirectory, you do this. (img src="gifs/car.gif") (bgsound src="midis/swing.mid") Etc, etc,,,, You can speed them up even faster by adding this little trick. (img src="car.gif" autostart="faster")

2) Put this on a page and you will be emailed when someone visits it. put your e-mail addy on it (img src="http://www.whirlycott.com/freecgi/freelog.cgi?yourname@webtv.net" height="1" width="1")

3)To put image before text on email-
The image above text code needs to be the very LAST thing in there before your closing (/html) tag. (/table)(/tr)(/td)(br)(br)(img src="URL of PEACE sign" align="right") IT will appear at the bottom when you write, but will be at the top when it is sent.

4)If you use animated image for a corner bg you will lose the animation. Here is the correct corner code. Notice the use of the tags. This will prevent ghosting and has not been mentioned in any of the very good tutorials that have been written. It is VERY IMPORTANT for a good visual presentation.

5)Random Song Script-
*script language="JavaScript"* song = new Array(5); song[0] ='http://www.firstsong.mid' song[1] ='http://www.secondsong.ram' song[2] ='http://www.thirdsong.ra' song[3] ='http://www.fourthsong.wav' song[4] ='http://www.fifthsong.anything' index = Math.floor(Math.random() * song.length); document.write("");*/SCRIPT*

6)To grab image in email or ng
If I remember corectly(Yeah,ME remember anythig!!LOL),This was the first question I posed here.Seems like I`ve been answering it at least 2 times aweek since, So......       If you get pix in your Email,and would like to TL them to your homepage,get an acct. here: http://www.eudoramail.com/         Forward your pic to that acct. When you log onto it,use the "no frames" option. Click on the forwarded pic. You will see a tool bar across the top of the message screen, Hi the second "D",this is the "download button.The next screen will have your message broken down into sepret parts.Just click on the image,and it will display on a page of its own.Take `er to on to the TL,and BLAM its yours!!!       This method ALSO works for NG posts,just hit send,and foward to that acct.

7)anchor tag. put this at the top of your page. (a href="#wordhere")wordhere(/a) that code makes it shoot to the word "wordhere" on the page. code it like this. (a name="wordhere")wordhere(/a): If you want to go to another word "elmo" on a different page on your site, you have to anchor the word on the other page. (a name="elmo")elmo(/a) Then you can go to it by putting this code on your page. (a href= "http://url of page word is on here#elmo")elmo(/a)

8) Want to find the addy's for images you add to your scrapbook? It's easy to do but hard to explain so I'll make it in steps. By the way, here's an example: http://community-1.webtv.net/etkatluv1/Images/scrapbookFiles/importD2.gif Note: step 2 is one of the most important ones. If you are using this code to add the image to one of your own pages, leave the -1 in, but, if you are sending it to someone, take the -1 off. Step 1: make sure you have something in your scrapbook. Step 2: make a new page with the title being Images/ Step 3: add everything from your scrapbook to this page, but dont delete anything from your scrapbook Step 4: in goto, type this in, and then copy it http://community-1.webtv.net/YourUserNameHere/Images/scrapbookFiles/ (note: put your user name in the YourUserNameHere part of the addy. The pagebuilder is very case sensitive, so if you use a lower case letter, make sure you keep it lower case, the same applies to upper case letters. The f in Files must be upper case.) Step 5: go In the scrap book to the pic that you want the addy for. Copy down what's in the title bar. Step 6: add what was in the title bar to the addy you copied. example: mailedD0_jpg Step 7: just change the _ in the last part of the addy to a . and you should have the addy of a pic in your scrapbook. example: mailedD0_jpg should now be mailedD0.jpg you should now have this- http://community-1.webtv.net/YourUserNameHere/Images/scrapbookFiles/mailedD0.jpg Sorry if this sounds hard, it really isn't.

9)ANYBODY can make a scrapebook jpg linkable. Heres what you should do. Go into the page builder, and choose the page you want to work on. Then choose "Add text." Put these codes into "Add text." (html) (/h3) (/tr) (/td) (/table) (center) (a href="your-link-address") (img src="http://community.webtv.net/Childof_God/scrapbookFiles/mailedD0.jpg") (/a) (/center) Remember that you MUST remove the -1 from the community address.

10)This is how U align gifs on your page builder website. Sometimes U pick a background on your page builder that aligns everything to one side. You can put (center) in all U want but that does not work. This is the trick. The first thing in your HTML should be this--> (html)(/table)(/tr)(/td) This will allow U to center your gifs.

11)*Poor Mans Cookie File!* This trick is from a.d.webtv.tools. This is a way to collect URLs without returning to a storage place to dump that URL address then going to get another and so on, and so on.... Copy the first addy (Cut,copy,paste) Go to the next addy Hit your space bar 3 times Hit cmd V and dump your other addy, or addies into the one you are displaying now. Now collect bother them (or all of them) by copying them. Then go to the next addy and do the same thing, then keep doing that over and over! Then dump it all wherever you are wanting too, and you will have all the URLs you wanted in reverse order!

12)Here is the code to use 2 sounds on your webpage: The meta tag portion of this code goes between your (head) (/head) tags. (head)(meta http-equiv="refresh" content=10,url="URL of SECOND sound")(/head)(body background="URL of BACKGROUND" text="?" link="?" vlink="?" alink="?")(bgsound src="URL of FIRST sound") The content number is the delay time between the end of the first sound and the start of the second. Adjust it to suit your needs. 13)Here's a neat little code to create a clickable music button like the one below(the example button does not work in my email, but it will work on your pages) Insert this code into your "add text" box anywhere after the (body) tag: (form)(input type="button" value="Click Here" onFocus="window.status='Hope you enjoy the music!'; return true" onBlur="window.status=''; return true" onClick="window.location.href='http://members.tripod.com/~BigHead_8/blues1.mid'")(/form) Make sure not to change any of the punctuation. Where it says Hope you enjoy the music! You can change that and replace it with the song title or a message. The message will be displayed in your status bar. Where it says Click Here You can change that to whatever you want printed on the button. Keep it short, though. where it says http://members.tripod.etc. Is where you put the URL of the song that you want to play. You can put as many of these buttons on the page as you want. This will not work if you don't have the (html)(/html) tags on your page. Hope this helps!
