In the intro you've named it as Homestarrunner.com but the title as HomestarRunner.com - which would you prefer?
<>
it would be like *if* Salvador Dali *had* decided ??

I just missed typing it, probably. I would go with 'if', but it doesn't really matter to me.
Yes, it would probably be best to just change the title to lowercase.
Thanks

When you set your arrow on one of the links
-
do you mean "cursor" or are arrows provided on the site?
Homestarrunner.net... It's dot com!
-
Is there a reason for the ".net" there, an injoke maybe?
Some of these are still available, but now many of the newer ones such as Trogdor the Burninator and Peasants Quest
=
Is that Peasants Quest as in it's the peasants on a quest, or a single peasant - should be "Peasant's Quest"?
Things were just about to start getting crazy go nuts!
-
is that supposed to not make sense? is it a quote from a character? If so, may I name him?

Wyatt Posted Sep 15, 2006
You can change it to cursor - I have just always referred to it as arrow, personally.
Yes, Homestarrunner.net is a joke from the Welcome Message on the site.
And again, my own typo, it needs an apostrophe.
The quote at the end is from Strong Bad.

Excellent - I'll get right on those.
I've linked to A325757 for "tropical island" which I'm unsure of and would just like confirmation that it's ok with you.
I have searched for a "4th of July" entry but there isn't oneso I've linked to "Important Dates in History" (great entry)
OK fixed those earlier queries, would you like to read it through?

Looks great. However, I think it might be better to changer 'Pop. Tyre' back to 'tire'. That's the way it is actually written in the cartoons, so maybe it would be best to leave it the original spelling.
Also, I think it is actually written 'Senor Cardgage', not 'señor'. Strange, I know.
And another of my own stupid mistakes: In the Cheat Commandos section, I wrote 'buyallareplaysetsandtoys' which should be 'buyall*our*playsetsandtoys'. (except without the *)

'Senor Cardgage', not 'señor'.amended
'buyallareplaysetsandtoys' which should be 'buyallourplaysetsandtoys'.changed
'Pop. Tyre' back to 'tire'
<> What about that wording of tyre? That's the British-English spelling which I changed

Wyatt Posted Sep 16, 2006
Hm, that's a good point. I guess that that can be the English English, but that will make the other bit confusing... Maybe a footnote for 'Pop. Tire' explaining it is supposed to be American.
In the toons it uses the American spelling. or something like that.
