Hello all. Wonderful job with all of the class pages!
Well, this is the night to be in control ... no questions ... Yeah ... I'm lucky;-)
we can even moderate now if we want to, Richard got it all fixed
ANYBODY with questions just step right up!
Granny....Flamingo is all ears
is there a way on Netscape to make the hr's colored?
No, just shaded or 3D Granny
Sorry...can't discriminate...nor sex nor religious conviction
cannot be colored -- you need to use a line graphic
so you can color HR's on IE, but not on Netscape, can you make them larger as in width and transparent?
Yes, Granny
and the transparency will show the background color?
with noshade and wide it make it look like a dent granny
Granny: actually it is 3D and you can see some of your background through it.
sorry about the spelling, it's cyber fingers, but will background show through a HR?
Do any of you have a link to a complete escape sequence table?
oh okay, must have lagged, didn't see a response
thanks flamingo
taw are you showing off
You're welcome Granny
huh?
what is an escape sequence table
escape sequence table??? Please be more specific
are you talking about the ansi controls
Oh, sorry. I used escape sequences in programming. You know, like &nsp;
oh, tags
character entities
I thought you meant like the ansi controls that are used in an autoexec file
If I could spell... like tilde n and amulets...
for a great FREE downloadable (study off line) reference get the HTML Reference Library (The HTML Bible) . . Published by W3C the authority on HTML, w/color wizard FREE at
http://www.hooked.net/~tails/htmlib/
there is a complete set in that
a lot of them are guessable...like & < >
Does that help Tawanda?
tks zoinie
THANKS!
no problem
Does anyone else have a question?
some of the plug ins referred in the last lesson only work with the expensive photo shop
The midterm quiz scores are great so far and everyone is doing a wonderful job on their web pages!! :)
does it have to be webdesign related?
thanks
thanks otter, and everyone!!
hahahaha
Is there anyone out there who is still expecting there midterm grade?
yes
Ask away Granny
We should hopefully have them all done by thisweek!!!
unrelated question
is anyone trying the beta win98
I'm still grading midterms too :-(
I wish
actually does anyone know who is grading my paper? and did they get the redo of question 20 and 21?
Uhhh Windows 95 messes up enough... why should I try YET ANOTHER Microsoft experiment!
lolrof Tawanda, I agree there
Granny --they've been coming in by the dozens and I haven't checked to see who they're all from!!!
I agree too
I'm not sure if I have yours either Granny
If you can hold off on the Win98, have heard of two cases where crashed occurred...
okay just checking flamingo
Ive finally got this thing to run and now they are coming with a new system
think ill go back to cpm
I think that we all will be going to NT before long
or lynx
lynix
linyx
hahahah
Flamingo: you have to make SURE the programs you want to use WORK in NT
some don't !!
it wont run DOS programs
People made fun of DOS, written in BASIC. I still use it to do global moves and copies.
if it ain't broke don't fix it........I'm staying with win95 for a long while......lol
From much of what I've been reading Microsoft will only be offering NT or something like it by 2000
I like DOS
I did DOS too!
so did I!
and basica
well a free system is making progress,,,it is linux
Yep, me too... I've even programmed on cards;-)
I do some DOS
But it will be a few years before everyone can afford to upgrade!!!
DOS handled games better than windows does. My kids are always complaining when they use win95 games
I have programmed a LOT on paper tape !
you can always go back to DOS no problem : )
lol, Milton, same here
that is because most of the games in win95 havn't even been done because the graphics is so intensive
I used to do PCAM with plug boards...top that
the problem with new games is that they need more RAM
You can set up a MULTI-BOOT on a computer, DOS, NT, Win-95, Linux, Lynx, etc
I had an Atari computer
Who: I'm not admitting to that
Who: I did too
LOL
I had an Osborne
64k ram
ahhahaha
hehe started with a commodore 64
LOL
First Computer I ran on was a Univac 1050-II
I started with an IBM 709
I PROGRAMMED USING A STONE AZ, if you have never dropped your box of punch cards, you haven't lived
am running 64mb ram now
who: you beat me
show off
amen Tawanda : )
LOL, Tawanda, I did that once in College
been there too Tawanda!!!!
LOL
are we going to get any more lessons on Paint shop pro
Atari 800 at Atari computer camp in San Diego lots of years ago I have been using that computer until last year
first cardnal rule computer programing 101, "Don't drop the box"
* z-poker thinks the group is full of baby boomers
Augustus: I don't think so... any other Instructors know
All this is still so new but a lot like the stuff we did back then in '82
if anyone is interested, there is a help group in the news groups for PSP
yes I go to the psp newsgroup too augustus, they are good
and there is one for agent
http://www.ktc.com/personal/lee
Oh yes augustus The priest who is the archivist for our Diocese is now using a computer for his work. Last week he got the works and is struggling with psp. I can show him how to get to the help group. Newsgroup?
ANY HTML QUESTIONS?
yes, who, can anyone do the rest of my html on my pages?
Who what is the next lesson on?
MCW: there is a 24 hours book he might read $19.95
Granny: just ask who
well who asked!!
The net...next question
WHO? I have a question?
lol granny --do you need help with something special?
who, can anyone do the rest of my html on my pages?
yes otter, I really do, now seriously
thanks milton he also got a MAC! and we have pc's in the office.
granny
I need to know how to get my dora school pages to be on the search engines
Aha...that is week 7 or 8...
but i'm sure we can help you out with that
seriously, how do we do search engines upload?
it's lesson 8granny -- but you have to submit your site
really otter, I can't wait that long for lessons, I need to upload the dora school pages, to search engines now
There are certain URL's that will list it on many search engines for you so you don't have to do each one yourself
so that the kids can find them
Granny, some places let you join for free ... others cost to help you get setup so Search Engines find your site
GW: the best ones are free !
oh I see so can I do a search for search engine loading?
Fellow scholars, Search Engine placement is a whole separate study! My TV silt owner paid $200 for me to take online classes... and still I had a LOT of work to get his site to show up in all categories that he wanted.
Is it necessary to use meta tags to get the html listed in search engines?
okay, oh by the way just for your information, Bill Gates, office donated 23,000+ in software for the school
Granny -- try-- http://www.addme.com/
Lesson 6 is on WEB DESIGN
thanks otter
what makes for good/bad pages
Hmmm. Maybe I should develop some info that I learned on the class page.
coooool Granny!!!!
GW: http to www.altavista.digital.comto www.yahoo.com, etc. then find their ADD page
Also, many sites like yahoo, alta vista, etc. have a button someplace on their page to submit your URL
Lesson 7 more design including java discussion
thanks all,
Granny! I told you that he would come through. Way to go Bill!
Granny did you tell him about all the pages we had out there about the school?
Lesson 8 more design including frames, dynamic, counters, addons
Thats all folks
We also have over $15,000 in donations in cash for graduating class (hopefully for scholarships)
just 8 lessons?
yes yea bill, can use the mauals to shingle the roof LOL
Yes, dddd, just 8 lessons
not yet mcw I am sending a thank you letter with the url listed on it

That is great Granny
Any other HTML questions tonight?
How did Bill Gates find out?

LOL -- pretty sneaky granny!!!!
Granny: what type and size of school
Great...love to hear that story....

a small rural school of about 350 students flamingo, did you not see the pages on it?
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/3111
She also had letters posted on peoples pages, published in church bulletins, in organizations newsletters
Granny: I work for an inner city school with over 2,000 students
the school was over 50 years old when it burned to the ground
yes thanks to mcw who helped me get the message out!!
we sent out notices too
thanks who!!
and others too lots of others
everyone has been great!!
it has helped a lot
Now you must put up a page showing the rebuild
really glad it's all helping granny!! :)
the local civic center (30 miles away) opened the basketball court and building for the homecoming last night
yes I will who, first they are taking out the old and then making the new
we want movies granny!!!!!
the only problem is we are so small a community they say it will be about 2 years before it is fully built
lolrof mcw, I will try, but don't have vhs only beta, old beta camera
now you need someone to come in and document its growth for you
that would be great,
* Who thinks It takes a Village!

tv coverage is great too
and newspapers state wide
thanks otter will try 60 minutes
and 20/20, 48hrs., etc.
yes state wide papers are listing info also
I will otter, didn't think of them
there are so many that don't respond, it is disheartening sometimes to keep sending out emails
but the ones that do, make your heart sore!!
opps soar
If Bill Gates helped -- push his name to get the tv stations to help out too!!!!:)
* Who has a question for all of you
GW:You must find an INDIVIDUAL in the right place to get a response.They get HUNDREDS of e-mails a day
