Entertaining piece, but very difficult to read, as one column is Trump, the other Twain. A reduction in font size or separating the two articles would help, but that kinda defeats the purpose of the comparison.

Face it, you can’t please everyone, so thanks for the info, I learned a couple of things

There looks to be a couple of pieces that I haven't read in that article.

Thanks.

Well, a couple of days ago I pressed something like ctrl or alt Down arrow

EEK

My screen was upside down!

It was fresh in my memory, so I reversed and got thing back to ‘normal.’

Lesson is — Be Careful using the Computer Dialect.

For those interested in seeing how the images and fonts were put together for this vanity, download the artwork Excel sheet.

The HTML was tricky since FR uses pure HTML and allows no CSS styling.  So you can't simply <float> an image to the left or right of some text.  What I did was create a two column <table> then stuck the text on the left column <td>, and image in the right <td>.

The whole story is organized as one one long <table> with each section being a row or <tr> with two cells or <td>'s, one for each column in the section.

Look at the source code of the webpage to see how this was done.

To make writing and editing easier, I made changes in the free Notepad+++ text reader, then ran the HTML in a separate window. So my computer screen had the webpage on the left and the code to modify on the right.

Another tip: I highlighted each section with comment tags such as: <!--- American Entrepreneur -> to make it easier to navigate the long text.
