Astronomy pic of the day?

Post by Coffee »

I noticed Denny's not been doing these the last couple of days. I hope he doesn't mind if I take over on it until such time as he's able to do so again.

*edit* Not being a big html user or really a coder of any sort, I'm not sure how to make the pic a link really. So here's the link.

I do not think that it is HTML, but the general format seems to be [url="website"][img]"image location"[/img][/url]

You can try it like this

Denny may be w/o electricity. My cousin lives up in his neck of the woods and has been w/o it for about a week. But, maybe he got snowed in, or went on vacation.

The Puget Sound area got slammed with snow and ice on Monday evening, so I wouldn't be surprised if Denny lost his electricity.

Okay, this is ugly, but is very basic HTML, which the board seems to understand:

<A HREF="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap061129.html" TARGET=NEW>[ img ]http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/ ... tt_big.jpg[ /img ]</A>

Just remove the extra spaces in the img tags.

I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.

Thanks Djm. I'll try to fill this role until Denny is back. Meanwhile, I pray he came through the storm in one piece.

Power is back...DSL is not.

I gotta go clear the trees off of the fence.

Ya'all carry on here.
