THE INSIDER
News and gossip from the Diva

Summer is definitely the season of weddings. This past Sunday I attended a family friend's wedding in Vermont. The bride and I went to rival high schools, but didn't meet until my dad introduced us last year. The ceremony was short, and very sweet. It was outside in her mother's garden, and the reception was under a big tent on the lawn. This was the first wedding I've ever been to where I actually enjoyed eating the wedding cake -- it was delish! Usually it's the nasty, 5-day-old, dry as chalk kind of dessert, but this one was really superb. And of course, the bride was beautiful! It's so wonderful to see two people so in love with each other that they want to make a life together.

Speaking of brides, we have one in our midst! Rebecca tied the knot last weekend to her honey Dan at a beautiful ceremony in southern Vermont. I've heard from attendees that she was stunning, and that she danced the night away in true rock star fashion! Congratulations, Rebecca!

I hope everyone reading this Insider had a safe and wonderful Independence Day celebration! While most Tripodians were moving into their new Boston digs, we managed to fit in some bbqing and beer. Not to mention fireworks! There was a great display off the top of Mount Greylock, and I've heard from a few people in Boston that the fireworks over the Charles were spectacular. Got to love those noisy, earth (and eardrum) shattering balls of exploding light!

MEMBERSHIP QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Get the inside dirt on some of the questions most frequently fielded by our dedicated membership department!

Q: What is remote loading, and why does Tripod not allow it?
A: Remote loading occurs when files are stored on one site for access on another server. A Tripod page storing image files for use on a non-Tripod page is an example of remote loading.

Simply put, remote loading is expensive. Tripod uses advertising to pay for the cost of hosting people's Web pages for FREE. Remote loading substantially drives up our cost by increasing the bandwidth we need to purchase. We don't want to have to pass that cost on to our members; we want to keep your pages FREE.
