THE INSIDER
News and gossip from the Diva
This Wednesday is tenant appreciation day on Totten Pond Road! Our
property managers, Legatt McCall, are throwing us a party! Well actually,
it's a BBQ, but it still constitutes a free lunch! This never happened
in Williamstown, let me tell you. It'll be another chance for us to
mix and mingle with other Lycos people, too. I've never seen so many
young professionals in one place!
This week, check out the new Handcrafted newsletter, and discover event
handlers -- functions that handle client-side events (like uploading a
page, filling out a form, or clicking on a link). Learn about some
commonly used JavaScript event handlers, including onClick, onMouseOver,
and onLoad. Event handlers let your visitors interact with your site,
making it a much more valuable and interesting experience.
The sign read "Tripodians — Treats in the fridge from Sean!" And treats
there were. Scrumptious chocolate-chip and cheesecake squares. I know
that sounds a little strange — I was skeptical — but, wow, they were
awesome. So we're thinking we might need a bake-off here between Sean
and Lisa. That'll mean lots more treats and happily fed Tripodians!

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 my URL?
A: When you create and save pages in your Tripod directory, they are
automatically published to the Web. Each page has an actual address
(URL): http://members.tripod.com/your_member_name/page_name.html.
Notice that your Tripod member name is part of the URL, and that the
file name of the page you want to see always comes last. Pages need
to end with either ".html" or ".htm" in order to be read by browsers.
You can also access your pages with a shorter URL. This URL, called
a subdomain, looks like this: http://your_member_name.tripod.com/page_name.html.
This address is easier to type and looks much more professional. Feel
free to use whichever URL you like -- they'll both work just fine.
Be aware that there is no "www" in any Tripod member URL. Your address
will never be http://www.your_member_name.tripod.com/. Using a "www"
in the URL will prevent your browser from locating your page.
