THE INSIDER
Tripod has a new cousin! This week, Lycos Williamstown unveiled its
latest creation — a terrific new site called htmlGEAR. It's the
premier Web destination for builders seeking add-on tools that will
spice up any site! With FREE gadgets like pollGEAR, guestGEAR, and
linkGEAR, you can ask your readers questions, get visitor feedback
with a guestbook, and manage your site's links. And that's not all!
Visit htmlGEAR.com today!
We're sensing a trend here. This week, Karen Langlie, wife of
talented designer Mike Langlie, started working in Tripod's membership
department. This, just one week after Lisa Clark, wife of Brand Manager
Steve Clark, began working at Tripod. We'd like to welcome them both!
I'm wondering if these couples are going to get sick of their significant
others now that they'll be seeing so much of each other! Lisa and Steve
should do fine — they're newlyweds. And I suspect Mike and Karen will
be psyched to see more of each other: Mike has a habit of spending way
too much time in the office! A similar setup seems to have worked just
fine for our two resident married couples, Don and Susan and Jaime and
John. Margaret and former Tripodian David also got along well at work
when they were both here; David left Tripod so he could take care of
their son, Charlie. I'll keep you posted with any marital updates!
I'd also like to take this opportunity to bid farewell to the folks
downstairs, who are leaving the building on Friday. The cable factory
that occupies the two floors below us is relocating to Pennsylvania.
We wish them all luck.

Q: What are the newsletters that Tripod sends out?
A: Tripod has two main newsletters, and you can subscribe to each
one when you sign up for your membership. The Tripod Insider (the
amazing publication you're reading right now) is a weekly newsletter
that gives the 411 on happenings at Tripod. Tripod Handcrafted is a
biweekly newsletter written by various tech and HTML gurus, designed

Tripod will send out e-mail regarding important changes to our programs

occur when absolutely necessary.
