Here it is, the Home Sweet Home beacon
Let us be attracted to it like the beacon-seeking flies that we are.

You know what else flies are attracted to?
That's right. Other flies.

Hello, but just for one second as I am on Mr Bin's Pooter.

Love you all.

Except you.

The more flies we have, the stronger the fly-magnet we are!

Well
I'm putting templates together for my blogs. Re-learning html and css after not writing anything for a few years is fun :)

I'm looking for some cheap domain, email and web hosting. Any suggestions?

Spak
There's three blogs and a couple of web sites, all mine. I might have to fish around as I want a few extras too, PHP and includes etc.

By wonder of the internet, Mr blair, read the faq. There's instructions on how to post images there.

Off to bed. Night!

@ blaireau69
I recommend something like www.churchsigngenerator.com/ as a good way of making signs quickly, that don't trigger vomiting/epileptic fits.

For example:



Incidentally this is not a real link, don't click it guys.

Oh yes, and try this site as well:

Greetings blaireau
Below is the HTML you need to start an HSH thread with an image. Just copy and paste into a message. This is just the standard HSH image, so you may want to replace it with one of your choosing.

<img src="http://www.b3tards.com/u/40d7412bd8c7f7946984/hsh.jpg">

Anyway, how goes it?

Alright Spaks?
Oh, incidentally, anyone here a Blur fan?
( jim_bob can herd cats., Wed 4 Mar 2009, 21:29, Reply)

Me
I kinda like Blur.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 4 Mar 2009, 21:31, Reply)

like this?


wow! first time!
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Wed 4 Mar 2009, 21:36, Reply)

Ah right
Reason being... well, check the main page.
( jim_bob can herd cats., Wed 4 Mar 2009, 21:37, Reply)

I am watching quantum of solace
Serious Bond? Boo!
Gadgetless Bond? Boo!
Fightscenes choreographed by that guy from The Matrix? Boo!

Bond just punches people in the face. There's none of this fannying around blocking there overarm sweep while twisting their little finger.

Also
While not a huge blur fan I checked the front page AND the main board ("main page" being kind of confusing) and have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking at.

EDIT: Ahaha. And you meant the main OffTopic page. Cake or Death? I'll take biscuits.

Main OT page
Sorry.
( jim_bob can herd cats., Wed 4 Mar 2009, 21:45, Reply)

it may not seem like a big deal to you buggers...
BUT just above us i have posted my first linky thing. this is a monumental occurance, on a par with a monkey piloting a spacecraft. where are the oohs and aahs?

edit: my wife says she is really happy for me that i am able to be so excited about the linkything. is this a back-handed complement?
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Wed 4 Mar 2009, 21:47, Reply)

Well technically
You've posted a picture. If it were a linky thing I could click on it and be whisked away to a different page on the interwebs.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Wed 4 Mar 2009, 21:51, Reply)

Probably just the "Yes Dear" reflex

well technically...
i think it's black magic!

You've taken your first step
Next thing you know you'll be embedding video and interactive widgets in a cascading style sheet.

if you say so...whatever it meant!

what i have done has amazed me, it's as simple as that. never tried before, happy it worked first time.

i am constantly delighted by the clever trickery i find on teh web but it is not my field. i guess i can do equally magical things with lead and fire and so-on...my work tends to be exactly the opposite of 'virtual'

Congratulations B
Now you too can make a stand against the decline in HSH threads.

@TLiC: Or he could even end up editing HTML and CSS by hand.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 4 Mar 2009, 22:02, Reply)

okay, okay!
i get it, i was just enjoying my new found thingy.

And that's great, Blair
we really are pleased for you.

it's all so new and scarey...

@ blaireau69
It could be worse, we could be being really harsh and saying nasty things about you behind your back.
( jim_bob can herd cats., Wed 4 Mar 2009, 22:17, Reply)

No sarcasm intended
I've just been on the internet so long anything I say sounds cynical.

I'm still excited when I get my computer to do something new and exciting. So I can see how it must feel for you. I'm pleased.
