THE INSIDER
News and gossip from the Insider Diva
Last Friday, we said good-bye to Dwayne Miller, our MIS manager
extraordinaire. Usually when we celebrate a birthday or wish someone
farewell, we get them a cake to send them off in Tripod style. However,
Dwayne, insisting he's not a cake person, convinced Drew to get some
beer to wash down the Oreo cake Teri ordered. Not surprisingly, the
beer was enjoyed more than the cake! Yours truly was occupied taking
on the Wienert siblings at the Ping-Pong table. I love that sport!
There are lots of decisions that are going to be made around here come
April 25. This is really hard! The move won't actually happen until
July 1, but we're renting a bus next Friday and taking a field trip to
Waltham to check out the area. Drew reminded us to have our permission
slips in by next Wednesday. (Okay, not really.) For those interested in
making the move, it should be a really valuable trip. May even be fun!

— Here's a tip from those crafty page-building experts at Webmonkey:
Think before you frame your pages. Putting your site navigation in a
frame can reduce download time, but since the frame doesn't change, it
can't be used to orientate your visitors. Plus, frames prevent users
from bookmarking your pages. Make sure the trade-offs are worth it.
MEMBERSHIP QUESTION OF THE WEEK

by our dedicated membership department!
Q: What is the Tripod Script Library?
A: Tripod's Script Library contains ready-made JavaScript and CGI
functions that you can simply cut and paste into your Web page. You
don't have to know a thing about programming to make them work! With
these scripts, you can place rollovers, slideshows, and feedback forms
on your Web pages. The Script Library is located in Tripod's
"Site Add-ons" area.
