HANK

I access the shared notebook “locally” from the regular open notebook menu, and I let dropbox do all of the syncing. after experimenting it looks like that using the \\pc\url thing is just an extra step and doesn’t do anything for me but take a couple extra seconds.

Were you having some kind of problem with my method?

When you access the notebook you’re sharing do you open it as a local file, or as a network file?

i.e. if your pc is called pc, then local would be opening it as
c:\notebooks\fred.one

You can fool OneNote into thinking it’s a remote file by turning on file sharing and opening it as
\\pc\notebooks\fred.com

I’m wondering if using one or the other method makes for the combination of dropbox sync and onenote sync any more reliable.

Which makes you realize just how horrible 3.1 really was.

I’ve been meaning to use the -more- tag, but I keep forgetting. I definitely prefer the look like you’ve got, where people can see the last few posts on the main page without scrolling way down. I tried letting WP do excerpts automatically, but that does unpleasant things when a post starts with an image or list or anything but plain text. Guess I just need to remember to use the tag.

I’ve been using the more tag for space saving on the front page, breaking the article at an appropriate time, and along with that- as a teaser for enticing readers to read the rest.

Often I’ll do a funny lead in to a story, trying to illicit a laugh and a wtfbbq, such as the one on my latest post (Dancin Capn’ Jack. Go read it, you will laugh. Probably.)

Other times I’ll entice people with a picture, like the post before the most recent one, where somehow I’ve managed to reference a Sunstreaker\Green Goblin\Dick in a box scenario with a post that’s mostly text and telling a story about Walmart refusing to buy me alcohol.

Thanks for the info.

Hmm, I hadn’t thought of picking up a cheap laptop: something just powerful enough to run X and readers for the common formats. That may be the way to go.
