Making a link out of a URL is pretty simple, people (named Jake Palumbo and Ron Beauregard). Take a section of text, like "click here" for example and highlight it. Then click the button in the section above with the green spot and the link-looking thing over it, as seen here:
A dialog box pops up, paste the url into that. I'd been meaning to throw this tutorial up here for a while now, but Jake's post was a good segue into that.
For some reason, Jake's post also reminded me that there are a lot of posts that hadn't been tagged yet, so I did a lot of tagging tonight. I also made a couple of new labels. I may not keep Wikipedia; even though it had a short run as a hot topic at SGM, it hasn't been mentioned in some time. Will's Celebrity Theorems has 25 posts, though, so that's a good category unto itself. Nate's longer pieces that cover multiple topics went into a category called Nate's Verbosity. Nate also had a brief run of weird shower thoughts which were placed into Nate's Shorts (and I also made an executive decision, placing his post about moving all of the copies of "The Passion of the Christ" DVDs into the Science Fiction section in SGM Classic). It turns out there were a lot of posts that predated the tag system that fit into My Shitty Job. Aside from all that, any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm not looking to monopolize the administrative duties of categorizing posts. Anyone else that wants to tag posts should really, really feel free to do so. It's easy to do from the Manage Posts screen: just mark the check box of the posts you want to tag and then select the tag you want to apply from the drop down box at the top of the screen.
Digging through the archives, I noticed Nate once posed the question: CSI or Homicide. The answer: Homicide. By two or three miles. CSI is written down to viewers. Cops will explain procedures to each other that they should already know for the benefit of not losing the audience. Homicide said "fuck you. Keep up or watch something else." It was like the '95-'97 era ECW, gritty and beautiful.

Random Shit

Homicide. I concur.
I like posting URLs without linking. Y'all need to do a little bit of work....the internet has made people lazy.
If they ever make a feature-length movie of "Nick Burns, Your Company's Computer Guy", then you need to audition, Josh.
And you are both correct, Homicide was that real shit, that gangsta shit, that raw shit. CSI (to me, at least) = wackness.
Now if the choice is CSI vs. Law and Order, then I'm going CSI every day and twice on Tuesday. The only thing good about the Law and Order's is Fred Thompson, and he isn't there anymore I don't think.
The issue with linking isn't lazyness, because I have a Firefox extension where I can hightlight and right-click a URL that isn't a link and have it opened in a new tab. For those without bells and whistles, though, they have to copy and paste and a URL doesn't have a break to wrap so the URL extends off the post table and you can't see the entire URL.
