*laugh*

but you put a smilely there...
or did you?





i saw that. hahaha

How come you never use smileys?

How do you get a laptop linked to the Internet? (I don't want *all* the details, just a basic summary)

i actually don't know how to do smilelies... it looks hard....


a nice shiny (oooh shiny...NO-don't play with it!) wire somehow makes this all connect to the internet. it surprises me when it all works.

And me!! Aren't laptops meant to be portable though?

Making smilies is really easy. All you need is below:

Just miss out the spaces!
You can't put these on Homepages like that though, you have to do all the boffiny stuff that MadMunk has on one of his pages - you have to copy it out. I'll go and find the page for you.

let me try.



i guess i will not know if that works until i submit...
but that is quite easy...

I never did find that page. I'll find it now.

okay-ers

i wonder...


hrm

Didn't work.

When you reply to things in forums do you have a little button next to post message that's called "preview message"? cos that show you what it'll look like before you send it.

The page is:
www.h2g2.com/A89903 <-that's not meant to be a hyperlink. If it is one then "O, MI GAWD!"

but...
that is too easy...
or it involves too many steps...
hrm...

Steps! woohoo!

oops

don't mind me.


What's too easy?

it is very fun, and easy amusement to play on the steps.
up-up-up.. slide down-down.

You don't know how yuk that is!!! Lemme explain. "Steps" are a pop group over here. I'm mad about them. My favourite happens to be a gorgeous blokey called "H".
upupup- slide-down-down...
oblivion is funny!

a pop group? oblivion is funny?

i guess playing with/on the steps takes a whole new meaning...

yup!

anywayyyyy. what were we talking about?

Why don't you liven up your page a bit? I'll try and help. Can I put a link to your page on my page - it'll help get more people to talk to you (they come across my page at random, they see the link - "oooh, another person to talk to " and there you have it so)?

sure you can link ppl to my page....

hrm... livening up my page... i could try... i guess.... what do you think?

Some links, pictures, (don't try sounds!!!) animations. I'll help.

links... pictures....
uh-oh.. that might mean the dreaded html..

I'll help.
I explained it in another conversation... If you've read it, ignore it. Just go to andyart or animfactory (links are on my page)and choose a piccie, and tell me which one you want and i'll help you get it on your page.

it'll be easy, trust me.

oh no. reading through that i realise that i sound like a techno boffin. no!!! i'm not!!! it's trial and error, honestly. and the help of MadMunk, vegiman, and fenchurch. no! I'm not clever!!

but you can be clever- because you have finally figured it out (i'm asuming)
