THE INSIDER
News and gossip from the Guru
Back in the day of the steam-powered PC, disk space came in cute little
kilobytes. Drawings on cave walls suggest early hard drives were limited
to 256 KB of storage. Then came the dawn of the multi-megabyte drive
and joy returned to the village. "We'll NEVER use ALL that space!," our
ancestors hooted. A week later it was all gone and everyone went back to
floppy farming. Now bytes are giga-sized and we (finally) recognize that
when it comes to space, too much is never enough. Which is why we invented
Web Folders. Thanks to the miracle of the WF, Tripod Plus members can
use their directories for safe, reliable file storage, from slender Word
docs to the chunkiest of graphic and .wav files. Best of all, with the
files finally off your hard drive, you can access them anytime, anywhere.
Yes, we've seen the future of file storage. It's Web Folders. Now if
we can just straighten out that moving sidewalk thing, we'll be all set.
BUILDING TIPS AND TRICKS
Find the latest and greatest homepage-building tips and tools here!
The new Flash is here. It's called Flash MX. I guess we should just be
happy that they didn't call it Flash X-treme! Is it worth the full price
of admission? We've heard rumors of easier to use controls, refined
frame editing, and improved video handling. But we'll leave the real
review to those playful primates at Webmonkey.

Take full advantage of what the Internet has to offer!
We all need advice from time to time. But where to go? Friends, even
true friends, just tell you what you want to hear. So what's left?
Palm readers and 1-800-swindles. Not to worry. We know someone who has
the BEST advice ... for free! Only she's a little cranky. Can you take
the heat? Don't wimp out. Ask Crabby and find out!
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 cut and paste code onto my pages?
There are several ways. Tripod's FreeForm editor lets you include
straight HTML code without using templates. If you've made a page using
FreeForm, you can cut and paste code directly into the text box provided.
If you created the page with Site Builder, you'll have to convert your
page to a FreeForm document before you can add any HTML. Converting a
file to a FreeForm can be done in the FileManager, using the "Edit with"
option in the "Edit" pull-down menu. However, once a file is converted
to FreeForm it cannot be reverted and accessed via Site Builder.
