Hi, pabraham,


T H E   I N S I D E R ________________________________________________
News and gossip from the Guru

Did you hear? Before we left on holiday break, we wrapped up 2001 in
style by announcing two NEW homepage plans. The BIG news is that our
new TRIPOD PLUS plan lets you build without banner ads! That's right,
NO MORE ADS! But we didn't stop there. Once you're a PLUS plan member,
you can also use your account for file sharing, file storage and other
cool extras. Because we didn't want to leave anyone out, we created
TRIPOD FREE, the Web's best introduction to site building. As a Tripod
member, you're automatically enrolled in our free service. But once you
learn what's possible with PLUS, we know you'll want to make the move!
Finally, a New Year's resolution that's easy to keep. NO MORE ADS!

People use your site for meditation. They click on a page and in the
small eternity it takes to download they focus their thoughts, stare
into space, plan for retirement. To speed things up, you need to
optimize your images. To optimize your images, you need Webmonkey.

Q U E S T I O N   O F   T H E   W E E K ______________________________
Get the inside scoop from our membership department

Q: How do I place a counter on my page?

A: The HTML code for a basic Tripod counter is as follows:
<IMG SRC="/bin/counter/page_name.html">. If the file name of your page
is "index.html," the counter code is <IMG SRC="/bin/counter/index.html">

This code will produce the actual counter. You can place text around it
if you wish. Currently, you cannot manually change the number displayed
on your counter. You can, however, change the color, by adding the
following code: ?RRGGBB. Example: <IMG
SRC="/bin/counter/index.html?000000">.
The six digits following the question mark are standard hexadecimal color
code. In the example above, "000000" is the code for black.
