I enjoyed your poem a lot. The story (being so late at night) I really couldn't hang with.

Ha ha! One can tell one's canon by the size of his balls.

Ariel, don't mess with that particular 'arial', as that is the instruction for which font to use. Only mess with the section as instructed. And good luck. It does work, cos I did it on my own blog as you can see.

As for St Scrotius, I've heard the vicar talks a load of balls there.

Bu Jove, sir, I take my hat off to you! It must be exceedgly rare - nay, let us not quibble here - it must be unique for a mamber of the Yorkist nobility to be so learned in the tarcane techqniques of this mysterious posting thing.

If it works- for one doubts the abilities of one's somewhat subhuman staff - one shall instruct one's one's vicar to hold a special service of thanksgiving in the twelfth century chapel of the monastery of St. Scrotius, here at Mon Blogue.

At this, a specially composed ode shall be sung - somewhat similar to Purcell's Birthday Ode to Queen Anne - and as in that stirring ( albeit somewhat sycophantic ) offering, we shall indeed " Sound The Trumpets!" But our ode will, naturally, be based upon the theme of " David Slaying The Goliath Of Computer Confusion"

Reading your instructions, one was reminded of one's days at Bletchley Park ; one's subordinates  endeavouring to unravel those baffling Enigma codes

One tiny point occurs, though ; in the code, should  the word arial read ariel?

I can't thank you enough for the time you've taken!

No Damon, you're thinking of BARBARCODE the elephant.

Aren't You...
...thinking of Mumbo-DUMBO??

The elephant that could fly - and write code.

Damon, are you accusing me of elephant-speak?
I'll have you know I learned all my Hairy Techno Monster Language from a very respected mammoth.

I Like...
...the minimalism of the original post.

Spoilt somewhat, I feel, by all this geeky mumbo-jumbo in the Comments.

Hmph.

Ariel - Ignore number 1 - I just put a link into my sidebar for you by following all those steps. Here's the code...

 

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><A href="http://www.rentalspain.net/index.html"><FONT color=#800080>My Wonderful House in Spain</FONT></A></SPAN><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></P>

Follow all the other steps, copy and pasting this code in the spot where I told you. In the above code edit the bit that says My Wonderful House in Spain to whatever you want the link to say. Whatever it says, the link will take you through to your wonderful house in Spain, which is now linked from my page.

1.Have the html code ready for your link - you can get this by copying the link into a posting page, then clicking the html box, then copying the code somewhere safe so that you can use it - don't actually post the post as it will look daft, like this one.

then....

2.Click on 'write' tab, then on blog tab where it says 'edit'
3. Click on' change template'
4. click on 'edit a classic custom template'
5. scroll down to the bottom of all the hairy techno monster language (html) and find where it says
<h5>Links</h5>
then paste in your html code as obtained earlier before it says <$LinkList$>

6. click 'save changes' and hope for the best


This is what I did to get my pic in my sidebar and it worked
If it doesn't, just find the bit you pasted in, delete it, say 'bloody Dave', then ask someone who really knows what they're doing

Best of British,

Dave.

Tis a most excellent date, my good man. I shall attempt to explain how to post links in the sidebar. Only ever done a picture, but hold on a minute and I'll try to help...

One instructed one's staff to post a link in the side bar of  one's blog, and cna only assume that the result was as you saw. Be assured, sir, heads shall roll at Mon Blogue this day.

PS How the hell does one do that, anyway? Not chop off heads, but post links
