THE INSIDER
News and gossip from the Guru

Working the pedals and pulleys that control the Internet is serious business. Which is why members of Team Tripod took turns last week sneaking away to see the highly hyped "reimagining" of Planet of the Apes. Now that we're back, the reviews have started to flow. Chris calls it a "fun costume drama, but kind of annoying as a sci-fi epic." Jenny thinks "the apes were more 'human' than the humans." And Mike? He just sits staring into space, repeating, "Chuck Heston, President of the National Rifle Association, spending his entire brief cameo denouncing firearms? It's a mad house! A mad house!" Next time we plan a mid-day getaway, we'll visit Movies for Busy People first. It has the lowdown on all the latest flicks, from plot summaries to the all-important ending. Now when is Spider-Man opening again?

Turning the text on all your pages a lovely shade of neon green made sense at the time. Well, maybe "sense" isn't quite the right word. But now you want to change the text back to basic black. With cascading stylesheets, you'd only have to make the change in one place. And it would take all of one minute. Let Webmonkey Mulder show you how.
