THE INSIDER
News and gossip from the Diva
Okay, you asked for gossip. First of all, Tripodians who have already
moved east cannot get enough of Williamstown! They're flocking back
here every weekend! For good reason. Maggie and Jenny went to the
theatre this past weekend and had the pleasure of sitting next to ...
drumroll ... Mr. George Clooney, the number one most eligible bachelor,
according to the esteemed People magazine. He made some waves this
weekend when he went for a drink at the Side Bar, and was looking
particularly cute according to my inside reports. He certainly didn't
look like a fisherman!
Now, our newest stars here at Tripod! Peter Kefalas joins us as the
new Tripod Site Manager, and let me tell you folks, he's doing a
fabulous job. I also wanted to welcome Ames Friedman, who started as
Tripod's Senior Product Manager. She was out in Williamstown today
meeting and greeting folks, and getting a taste of where it all started.
We're very excited to have them both onboard as we embark on our
journey eastward. Welcome!

MEMBERSHIP QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Get the inside dirt on some of the questions most frequently fielded
by our dedicated membership department!
Q: How should I name my files?
A: The filenames you use are more important than they might seem.
It's good practice to use short, easy-to-remember filenames that
describe the content of the file. A file called "page4.html" is not
terribly descriptive, and a file named "bobs_page_about_chicken_feet.html"
is just too long. Name your files concisely. (Bob could use
"chickfeet.html" as his filename.) You'll want to keep filenames short
Ñ- the longer they are, the more difficult it becomes to link to them
correctly.
You'll also want to avoid mixing case in your filenames, for the same
reason. A file called "ChICKfeeT.html" will frustrate people trying to
link to it or even type it into their browser. Keep your file names
lowercase to avoid potential problems. If you upload files using
Tripod's FileManager, you'll notice the "make lowercase" option. Check
this option when uploading, and your case-sensitivity problems will be
a thing of the past.
I know this sounds nitpicky, but filenames cannot contain
double periods (..), spaces, or any of the following characters: ! @ #
$ % ^ & * ( ). Lastly, filenames cannot begin with a period (.) or
slash (/).
