OK, Jimmy, I'm going to take a swing at this. A "URL" is the thing that you type in to tell the computer what website you want to go to. It generally starts out with www(dot) something and generally ends with (dot)com or (dot)org or (dot)edu or sometimes (dot)ru if you're hitting up Russian porn sites. So, for example, to come here, I might type www(dot) frontierharleydavidson (dot)com. But if I typed that, I wouldn't come to this website; I'd go somewhere else. Funny thing about this internets. It's very picky. That's why they have the "www" part. It stands for "Where in the World have I Went?" which is grammatically incorrect on any number of levels, but the guy who invented the internet was better at math than English.

Now, what they want you to do is to copy the URL from your profile page. Again, the URL is that thing that tells the computer where to go to. So get to your profile page somehow. Now, take out a quill, dip it in your ink well, and carefully write out each letter or number or symbol exactly as it's written and then come here and type in what you wrote down. Or, you can click on the area at the top of the screen where you see that URL and that should highlight it. Now, type "control" and "c" at the same time to copy. Or left click and scroll down to "copy." Then, come here to post and either hit "control" and "v" or left-click and select "paste." Either way works equally well. I find that if I hand write it, I feel a sense of accomplishment when it actually takes me to the site I intended to go to rather than redirecting me to a place that will try to dump some virus onto my system.

And, speaking of computer viruses, now is probably a good time to talk about how to avoid them. The only foolproof way to avoid viruses is abstinence. Second best is computer monogamy by visiting this site and only this site. But, if you're going to mess around on a bunch of different sites, make sure to carry around some protection. Unfortunately, you can't wrap your computer in latex, so I would suggest a software program that you can download whenever you suddenly have some message flash up on your computer that says, "YOU MAY BE INFECTED! CLICK NOW FOR A FREE SCAN!" The great thing about that scan is it's free and I'm a little bit of a tightwad so that's a good thing for me.

Norm, all this advice is well and good, but I find that when I use a quill ink pen to take down the "URL", what happens when I use that quill pen to "Paste" the "URL" back into my computer's "Browser" it doesn't work all that well because, well, the ink dries on my monitor and then it blocks the addresses that come up in the future in my address bar. All of this is extremely tedious and messy.

Why can't there just be a simple way to do all this inter netting? You know, like one singular place you could "dial in" to that would serve up all the information you could possibly want for easy consumption. A "portal to the world wide internet" sort of thing. It might even help prevent you from contracting any computer viruses, too.

I would imagine there's some young buck, a "Prodigy" if you will, out there right now working on this very problem. I bet he even has a fancy name for this service, too, like..."America! Online!".

Transferring my post count over won't have any effect on the already poor quality of my posts anyways

I've just discovered this great new site called You tube which seems to have a lot of the videos that cip posts. Can someone explain how to imbed these into a post like this one? The quill pen doesn't seem to work.

Okay jimmy, I'm gonna show you this just once, so pay close attention to how I click the mouse and the angle of my keyboard. This is critical.

There. Just like that. Got it?

49r, I hope you're right about that "America! Online!" idea. Someone needs to come along and invent such a thing and that just seems like a great name for it. I bet something like that would really catch on.

Been a Cards fan since '52. Only station we could get, from Beatrice, that broadcast baseball back then was KFMQ in St. Joe and they carried the Cards back then.

This team, as well as last years, seems to have a calm about it when faced with adversity. They haven't always won (if they had won 50% of the games they had a lead going into the final 3 innings they would have won 100+ this year) but losing has never seemed to get to them at all.
