I finally finished my quick-start guide for bloggers and on-line forum users to put fancy text formatting into their posts using HTML. Deep breath. It was a fun project. Despite there being only a handful of truly useful or fun HTML text formatting commands, the thing ended up being 26 pages long. But it's 26 fun pages. I even got a chance to recycle some artwork from my old and never completed Web Publishing book (from 2002). So I hope folks enjoy it and can get a lot from it. Yes, it's free. Sadly, however, the file is pretty big: it's a 5.6M PDF file. I originally had a version about 560K in size, but the graphics reproduced poorly. So I lowered the compression, which increased the file size. While it may take a while to download, it will print beautifully. And I formatted it to print on three-hole-punch paper -- DanG/Wambooli Lunch.

DFO: I'm rerunning this link and giving it a separate post today b/c DanG did something special here. He deserves a monster Hat Tip. And your attention. If you want to figure out how to make your blog and comment posts sing, check it out.
