Whoops. Sorry, I didn't know about all the problematic aspects of PDFs. No biggie if the formatting isn't preserved, I suppose. Trouble is, I'm not an html whiz either. :-/ So I'm not sure what to do about that.
I'm guessing that if I just copy and paste the content from my Word doc into that text box on the TWG "submit" form, it won't look pretty but at least everyone will be able to read it (if they so desire). Whatever works, that's all I was trying to figure out.

email one of us, Me, E, Spriggan, Fell, ... a copy of the word doc and we'll format it in html to match.  shouldn't be too hard. Actually, now that I think about it, doesn't Word have a "save as html" option?

Does it?  Because if it does that would make my life easier.  I'm sick of reformatting things.  I'm sure I'm forgetting all sorts of tags.

I've got a Rich Text editor done in Java script that's attached to the submit/edit articles on the new version of TWG.  Basically it means that you type it how you want it to look, like in any word processor, and then when you submit the article it'll automatically format the HTML for you.

Nifty!
Do I need to download a new version of TWG in order to get access to that program? Or can you give me a link to that rich text editor program? That'd be much appreciated. :)

Nope and Nope since the only way you (or anyone) will have access to it is when the new site is done and uploaded to this website.  If I sent you the editor it wouldn't do you much good since it has to be on this web server to work.

e! There's a review of Syriana sitting in the queue.

I've got another one of "Rent" waiting for the editor's touch as well.

Skar, do you want me to review King Kong? I imagine the BRothers Gibb are going to do it, but I saw it last night and thus could have a review posted today or tomorrow, in time for the release. Let me know.

The Gibbs brothers have already said they were going to review it.  They were going to see it last night but the prints didn’t arrive on time.  I imagine we’ll get one from them pretty soon.

Is my column going to be posted sometime soon?  Is it a problem that I'm still planning to do the Christmas one for next week?

SE is home with strep, and I only just found out today. We've missed a few days of posting becuse of it, but we'll get back on schedule today, and your Christmas article will be most appreciated.

I'm back at work, but have hours of catching up to do. I'm going to let Fell handle today. Did we forget your column last week? I'm sorry. I suck for that. Fell, can we run her other one some time this week as a late thing like I did with my last Page 33? We can double up since we've missed some days.
