This Sandbox is devoted to giving you a place to practice basic HTML, and to get some coaching.
So, first things first:
Go to michigander's [ HTML Bootcamp (Cyber patriot training)] and learn there how to change font color, font size, font face, and the like.
THERE'S A WEALTH OF INFORMATION THERE NOT COVERED HERE (so as to avoid duplication).
Learn there also how to post a link and an image, then come back here to practice.
If you're having problems, folks will drop by occasionally to give you pointers and help you troubleshoot.
NEWCOMERS TIP: I just reread the FreeRepublic posting guidelines. They're worth a read by all newcomers [click here].
But first, HTML advice from the FreeRepublic help page:
Basic HTML
The Free Republic forum uses standard HTML coding techniques. Use <p> to start new paragraphs. You may use <b> to begin bolding and <center> to center text, but please remember to end these items where appropriate with </b> and/or </center>, etc. If you post links or other advanced coding, be sure to test before posting.Creating new paragraphs is about the only html that most posters ever need, but if you would like to learn more about html you may use any search engine on the internet to find tutorials. Simply search on "html tutorial". Here are links to a couple tutorials that I found:
Please: ALWAYS turn "OFF" the formatting when you use it.
Some commonly used codes of this type are:
These codes can be "nested" to produce multiple effects at the same time. For instance:
<b><i>Bold and Italic</i></b> produces Bold and Italic
where "URL" is the URL address you want to link to (and you gotta use the double quotes), and Link Description is whatever you want to call your link. For example:
<a HREF="http://www.drudgereport.com/">Link to Drudge</a>
becomes Link to Drudge
And another from the same previous post:
<FONT COLOR="COLOR">Sample</FONT> produces colorful text.
"COLOR" is often a Hexidecimal Code for whatever Color you want, but color names are also supported.
Examples:
<FONT COLOR="blue">blue text</font> produces blue text
<FONT COLOR="red">red text</font> produces red text
<FONT COLOR="green">green text</font> produces green text
Here is an easy way to REMEMBER TO TURN OFF THE FORMATTING.
To be sure I turn off the formatting I TYPE THE "OFF" COMMAND AT THE SAME TIME AS THE "ON" COMMAND.
An example:
I want to respond to a line in a post by another brilliant Freeper.
I type < I >""< /I >< BR>
I then "cut and paste" his remarks between the quotes:
< i>" You are a poopy head "< /I>< BR>
And type my equally brilliant response: "No, you're a poopy head!"
The result:
"You are a poopy head"
No, you're a poopy head!
It's very easy to forget to turn off your formatting!
Yes it is!
Actually, the <ul> tag is for a bulleted list and stands for unordered list. The missing part is the list item tag (<li>) Here's an example:
<ul>
<li>List item #1
<li>List item #2
<li>List item #3
</ul>

I saw 47* for you, maybe they are a tad high?
MSN/Weather Channel has 44°F high on my WebTV email homepage
It really depends where that have the gauges
The Coast Guard helicopter field on Long Island Sound would have lots of heat absorbing pavement and most likely would read higher than the average temperature
But the gauges on top of City Hall would read cooler as they are up in cooler winds even though it is among many large buildings and roads and sidewalks
That is why the so-called "Global-Warming" with predictions 10 - 20 - 30 years in the future and baloney "studies" that the earth's temperature rose .7 of 1¼ in the last 100 years - from unreliable sources and in 1907 when few knew or cared how to accurately monitor and record temperatures at all
Your gauge reads 47°F and the Weather Channel says a high of 44°F
A 3°F difference at exactly the same time in the same city
Ok Yoda, lolol! - Post # 546
Yes, ours is out at the airport on the edge of the city. Wide open to any winds, etc.
Two considerations
The airport with the huge runways could easily be a good 5°F hotter on summer days or even in the winter as the paved areas act like a massive heat sink from the sun's heat
But if there is some snow or ice on the runways or if it is very windy the recorded temperature could be about 4°-8°F colder as there are unlikely to be trees in the area to as a buffer to the winds
Actually the earth's average temperatures should also take into account the temperatures at just above sea level in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in many locations
Yes, I am aware of that.
I figure you were -
Media has been so one-sided on this it is no wonder the public has been conned
The Enviro-NUTZIES have politicians so scared they just fold
Worse still - many politicians know it is garbage and they use it to get re-elected and make millions from it one way or another
Phoney scientists pimping for huge grants because they cannot produce and honest or useable work product
Much like those "listening" to radio waves from the deep universe
It produces nothing and never will - in the meantime they cannot produce a workable alternate energy source because the reality is that most are BS and either do not work, cost more than they produce, or are NIMBY like nukes, oil in the Gulf of Mexico or Alaska, or are off of Ted Kennedy's beachfront compounds
There has been talk in my newspaper of this area 'being looked at' for a nuclear energy facility!
I have never wanted to live anywhere near one of those!
