THE INSIDER
News and gossip from the Guru
Sorry, did you say something? I had my headphones on. Actually, we ALL
have our headphones on. You see, the work-pods here at Tripod Central
have no walls. This modern design allows for "enhanced collaboration."
It also means that we can hear our pod-mates on the phone with insurance
companies and significant others. So we opt for an alternative
soundtrack. Today, Pete is being Tupac'd, Ames has Nelly Furtado for
inspiration, and Todd is attaining inner-peace by singing along to the
new Josie and The Pussycats soundtrack.
We're not alone in our "eclectic" (polite for "weird") taste in tunes.
A scan of fave Tripod sites turns up an equally varied playlist. You
can get funky, Minneapolis style, with the artist sporadically known
as Prince. Make an offering to the Hootie deity at a worship temple.
Or, if talk of Josie and her prefab cats has you in a retro mood, you
can shake your Day-Glo tambourine to 35 (!?) years of Monkee-mania.
But be careful. I happen to know you can get tossed off the subway
for singing "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You."
BUILDING TIPS AND TRICKS
Find the latest and greatest homepage-building tips and tools here!
Want to heat up a room of site builders? Mention frames. There's just
no middle ground when it comes to this method of site design. Some
folks regard frames as a path to page consistency. Others believe the
origin of the "frameset" tag can be traced to the CIA. Webmonkey
reveals the shocking truth!

MEMBERSHIP QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Get the inside dirt on some of the questions most frequently fielded
by our dedicated membership department!
Q: How can I keep my page, which uses frames, from getting multiple
pop-up ads?
A: Most browsers display only one pop-up ad per frameset. If you are
seeing multiple pop-up ads on a page using frames in your directory,
this is most likely a browser issue. Upgrading to the latest version
of your browser can eliminate the problem, but it may persist if you
are using the AOL browser. AOL browsers interpret JavaScript in a
slightly nonstandard manner, and there is nothing we can do about this
problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.
