I am in a good mood today, giving free clues away to "Mad Hatter"
artists that want to blog,
1) blog at blogspot.com , give it some content and don't try to
reinvent the wheel.
2) type "server-side script [language]" in your favorite browser and
come back this time without your obsolete "html" hickup.
3) type the same and add "SGML".
4) see you in a year or seven.
