THE INSIDER
Before we get to the office gossip, let's start out with some important
announcements.
Here's a neat development: Builder Bucks goes international! Tripod's
Builder Bucks program now accepts members with English-language pages
hosted in Europe, Israel, and Japan. Apply today to earn some easy cash!
See democracy in action at the new Tripod Test Lab site! Help us create
the Tripod of your dreams by trying out new features and giving us your
feedback. Even us professional-page-building types like to hear from the
folks who actually use these tools. So put on your white coats, come
into the Test Lab, and tell us what you think -- we're all ears.
On a more somber note, lead engineer Sean Shanny will be leaving us at
the end of the month. Sean has been a huge asset to the Tripod team, and
will be missed. Good luck to you, Sean, and keep in touch. We know where
you live!
On a tastier note, Susan has been sharing her vegetarian cookbooks with
the rest of us. Yum! I've already made one recipe -- sweet-potato and
black-bean burritos. It may sound a little strange, but boy, was it good!
Now that more fresh fruits and veggies are showing up in the stores, it's
time to start cooking!

Here's a tip from those crafty page-building experts at Webmonkey:
Make sure you use the right form for the job! If you want your users to
be able to make multiple choices, use checkboxes or a menu. If
you're looking for either/or answers, use radio buttons or a pull-down
list. And if you really want a keyed-in answer, use a text box. Learn
more about forms and form use in Webmonkey's tutorial.
