THE INSIDER
News and gossip from the Diva

Tonight is a big night -- we're having a bash here in Williamstown to remember the wonderful time we've had in Billsville, and to celebrate the bright future we'll have in Waltham. Festivities start at 6:00 p.m. with whiffle ball in the cafe! Working in an old factory building definitely has some perks! After everyone has had a hefty dose of whacking whiffle balls and touring the Tripod museum, we'll be off to Mezze to have a party to end all Tripod parties (literally).

Tripodians are coming from near and far to participate in this rager. Those who could make the trip to Williamstown will be there to reminisce, pat ourselves on the back for a job well done, and say goodbye to those who will not be making the move to Waltham. Don Z. has already purchased his very own bottle of blue juice that he'll bring to spice up the night (and our drinks!). I'm really looking forward to seeing some folks I haven't seen for a couple of weeks. Hopefully they'll update me on the gossip, which I will most graciously pass on to you in future Insiders!

And now for a few last words: I want to say goodbye to Mike, Adam, Rebecca, Katy, Nick, Natalie, and Chris, and wish them much luck in the future. Your presences will be missed here, and surely treasured wherever you end up! Take care!

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

Q: How do I use CGI on Tripod?
A: There are three ways to get scripts into your Tripod cgi-bin. First, you can use the Script Editor in the Homepage Studio to write your own scripts from scratch. You can also upload scripts -- just as you would any other file -- using the FileManager. Finally, you can upload scripts using a stand-alone FTP program.

Once you have a script, getting it to work will take some time and skill. We have provided a collection of tutorials and helpful advice here.
