h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

If when you write the link you put the researchers number in between < and > it should read
romani angel
Its just the name that comes up,once,instead of twice.
Have fun

if i may add something...

paladin is right but:

if you want to link a researcher it's better to write
whatshisname

and for an entry:
Thattheone

loup

and of course to confuse everything the LDers homepage is also a U number so it will be BIO="U201567" ...

loup

Ok,Whats this BIO bit,what does it do? and how come this is the first I heard about it?

don't tell me that H2G2 works for researchers links too!!!!!!...
i have been putting BIO everytime i link a researcher and most of the time i put H2G2 as an habit and had to take it off thinking it won't work... hehe...

anyway H2G2 is supposed to be for entries (with "A") and BIO is supposed to be for researchers (with "U")...

well that's what i read in guideML clinic somewhere...

loup

got a frozen screen

paladin n loup

paladin ow did u make those links 2 ur extra pages ??

romani

romani

Same way as I link everything else lol.

I've put it the same as above with the page number ie A820090 and then the title of the page and its done.
Then I go and check that it works.

ive bin avin a bit o trouble wi ur suggestion loup

but ive made sum alterations anyway....beginnin 2 look a bit better now

i,ll try urs next paladin but im off now 4 a bit c u all later

romani

If you want me to write one of my pages out on the email so you can see how I've done it just let me know,then you can see what bit does what.I found it easier to understand when I saw an example of it.

If you use the Name-of-link you have to name the link (Name-of-link) in order to make it show up

If you use the (note '/' at the end = self closing tag) you don't have to name it - it picks the name that user is currently using!

Thanx for that bit of info,it will come in handy for us newbies.

Titania...

anything that makes life easier is definitely welcome...

that's gonna save a lot of writing...

very grateful loup

You might find this entry that Titania and I have tried to put together useful too: A690518

kristina: ok, will list it in our "useful links to fellow LDers" page... tomorrow. ...

loup

Just been over to check out the above page & I would definately suggest that its a good one for newbies.
Wish I'd found it a few weeks ago.

titania thats where ive gone wrong....ive bin puttin the name in too n i did,nt need to

kristina im off now 2 look at that page

romani

I hope you found that page useful romani.
I know I did and I found out a few extra's too.
Very handy

i think i used that page when i started experimenting with pictures...

missed the tho'... would have saved me a bit of time... hehe...

loup

I didn't lol
I got a book and in there it showed how HTML worked so I scraped my whole page and did a new one abit ata time,just incase there were errors,and did it that way.
Trust me to do things the hard way,Whats new.
