I want to write about all sorts of subjects; I like to share conversations with others.
MARCH 20, 2006--Two Stat. Tricks

If you would like to learn how to write shadow letters, it's very easy.
Have a look at this group of HTML tags:

<DIV style="LEFT: 270px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 120px"><STRONG><FONT
face=Diner color=#fffb52 size=7>Have a Wonderful Day!!!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV style="LEFT: 272px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 122px"><STRONG><FONT
face=Diner color=#598e74 size=7>Have a Wonderful Day!!!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV style="LEFT: 274px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 124px"><STRONG><FONT
face=Diner color=#ff62ff size=7>Have a Wonderful Day!!!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

Note that there are 3 divs that are almost identical, except for their positions (left and top) which differ by 2px each.
They don't have to differ by 2; it can be 1 or something else.
First copy the above tags and paste them in your editor program; see what it looks like.
Now, make some changes and see that everything is changeable, the font, the size, the colors, the positions,etc.
It will be up to you to set them up as you want them. There's much fun to be had with this.

Now, how would you like to make a graphic appear in your message?
First, set up your graphic as usual:
<DIV align=center><IMG src="your path"> </DIV>

Then,add the following filter:
style="FILTER:blendTrans (duration=20);visibility:hidden"
onload="filters.blendTrans.Apply( );
style.visibility='visible';
filters.blendTrans.Play ()"

So the whole thing will look like this:

<DIV align=center><IMG src="your path" style="FILTER:blendTrans (duration=20);visibility:hidden" onload="filters.blendTrans.Apply( ); style.visibility='visible'; filters.blendTrans.Play ()"></DIV>

Try it and see what you get; it is quite fun, I think.
I leave you to play with these two for now; I'm heading for a big job: copying my LP's and cassettes on DVD. I've had the gadget to do it for a few weeks but I've had the flu and didn't have the energy to attempt it.
Ciao for now.
