Oooh I like this one!

Found this here, had to copy:

1. What's the first word that comes to mind when you think of me?
2. Go to Google Images and search for that word.
3. Reply to this post with one of the pictures on the first page of results (don't tell me the word).
4. Put this in your own blog so that I can do the same.

Yaaaaaaaaaarghhh... I cannot figure out how to put a pic in a comment. :( *sniff*

perhaps we can do it this way:

clicky, clicky

Okay shenry... give. How do you post a link on a comment... and how do you show someone else code without it turning into what the code should be?

shenry said...

This is going to be tough to explain because I don't know the solution to the second question. I'm not sure how you show code without it turning into code... but such a technique sounds useful, so I'll do some research on it and let you know what I find out... unless someone beats me to it.

I'm going to try and use the decimal code for the following special characters... we'll see if that works

Anyway a link in a comment is the standard html < a > tag

< a href="http://www.example.com" > text here < /a >

Holy crap! It worked.

All those special characters used in coding have a decimal name that can be typed out. I found the list of characters < a href="http://www.natural-innovations.com/wa/doc-charset.html" >here< /a >. I guess you could theoretically write example code using the decimal names for special characters like the greater-than and less-than symbols. Sound kinda cumbersome, though. Maybe there is an easier way. Anybody?

Okay now I'm getting all screwed up. In the above example, you can't have spaces in the tags. So the example should look like:

<a href="http://www.example.com"> text here</a>

And the url in the above comment should be this.

hehe.. somebody's got lots to do at work. ;)

Thanks for letting me know though. :) I'll give it a go:
