Parents gone until tomorrow night. What am I going to do?
-VD: Survey says. . . . Stay on the computer until midnight.-
Hey! Who'd you survey -- Sarah?
-S: John and Terminator agreed.-
-T: It is a logical conclusion based on your current actions.-
-.-# Well, I happen to have to go out. We're almost out of toothpaste. And maybe I'll drop by that bookstore down the street while I'm at it.
-D: I thought you were going to watch "The Mask".-
That too. BTW, I finished "The Doc Hunter." Complete version on FF.net.
-VD2: Speaking of your stories, what about your web site?-
I think I'm gonna go with 150m.com. I'm going to move all my completed stories there and just use FF.net to show off those "in progress." Which means I have to HTML up all my stories into a readable format. I think I'll look at Kristen and Tekva stories to see what size font to use.

The story text size is font size 3, chapter heading font size 4, and the setting info (date, place, time, etc) font size 2.

And now, back to the lovely chore of vacumming.... :-P

Tanku. My big problem is that I just used WordPerfect to convert my files to HTML for FF.net. I'm not looking forward to editing them. *shiver*

I've done a lot of trial and error with HTML since I was 17, and first established a web page in the summer of 1996 -- primarily for BTTF and my stories -- and find that a combo of word processing HTML translations, combined with an HTML composer, works nicely. There's a nice shareware (read: free) piece of software out there I like, called PageSpinner, but it may be only available for Macs (?), which is my platform of choice/expertise. Generally when I get a story ready for the WWW, I save it in HTML (in AppleWorks, my WP program of choice), then open it in PageSpinner and do a whole "Find/Replace" thing on some aspects that are automatically converted. (Like I like an empty space between paragraphs on my online stories, since it's a cleaner read, and the program just doesn't do that unless I tell it to. I also add in any BLOCKQUOTES I need done, spiff up the chapter headings, etc.)

I've got it down to an art now, takes maybe 10 minutes to do. But, oh, God, when I first started putting my stories online, there was no such things as FF.net, Word Perfect and Microsoft Word (EVIL EVIL program) didn't have automatic HTML conversion, and I had to do it painstakingly by hand, line by line. AHHHHH! I do not miss those days at all!
