How'd you do that two color thing with PONY?

Pretty neat (and funny line as well).

Through the awesome power of HTML markup!

See if you can View source of View Selection Source in your browser; that will show you how it's done. And change your input format to Full HTML if you want to try it. If you want a good sandbox to play in, try here. It seems geeky, but it's really abut DIY, just like winemaking or knitting.

Speaking of HTML

I completely forgot how to link an existing page, here are Corrente, into a post. I know how to link from beyond the site, but not through the site. Where can I find that code? It's be great if there was a page dedicated to the most popular formatting that could be placed along the rest of the options in the top bar.

But, we've always been at war with Eastasia...

It's no different from linking to a page outside the site

By vastleft on Tue, 11/25/2008 - 7:53am

You can browse to the page in another window or tab and then copy the URL from the address bar, or you can hover over a link to the page or comment (i.e., wherever the post or comment's title is displayed) and right-click (or option-click on the Mac, IIRC) and use "Copy link" or whatever your browser calls it). Then create an anchor tag as you usually would:

True to form, <a href="http://www.correntewire.com/vastleftsbrilliantpost">Vastleft said it brilliantly</a> here...

13:41:11 letsgetitdone Thanks
13:13:28 lambert lets -- up now!
13:12:40 letsgetitdone lambert, where is the link to the live blog
18:26:14 Michael Kwiatkowski lambert< Hey Lambert, feel free to cross-post on my blog. That's set up specifically for promoting candidates and causes. I put up links to some progressive and green party web sites, and I'm open to posting more.
20:09:38 lambert Tony, got your mail. I'm thinking, I'm thinking....
19:02:10 Sarah thx lambert. I'll resume lurking now...
16:04:47 lambert Sarah, this was a server issue now I hope resolved.
14:55:08 Sarah lambert, can you exempt my blog from calais? it keeps crashing my posts. I'll go to edit its tags and the "save" will time out.
08:11:01 BDBlue The tax situation does make it mostly ungovernable, which is an additional issue. No one wants a job where they are destined to fail. Right now that describes the California governorship.
07:50:17 nycweboy I always got the sense - my sister lived there while going to grad school and met her husband a native SFan as well - that California is just ungovernable. Neither party seems to be able to offer good Guvs, these days, Arnold inclusive.
15:44:18 BDBlue California's inability to produce decent Democratic candidates for Governor always astounds me. I think it's because the term-limits for State legislature prevents any real powerhouses and stars from developing. The entire system there is broken.
14:12:10 Jeff W That's why we need a Dem governor in—oh, wait, uh [url] [url]
01:51:55 hipparchia yay for the governator! [not]
00:03:31 Jeff W Single payer universal health care bill passes in California Senate [url] (but the governor will veto it)
07:44:51 lambert RL calls... Talk amongst yourselves....
07:47:22 nycweboy I think this "O'Keefe tries to tap Landrieu's phones" story will be a huge deal for the crazy right
20:46:09 BDBlue Welcome, nycweboy, l'm a regular reader of your blog. Good to see you here.
19:00:47 okanogen Yay nycweboy!!!!
