You are receiving this newsletter as you have either won our award and agreed to receive this e-zine or you visited our site and signed up for it or you are friends of mine and I know you will appreciate it. If you are receiving this in error, the un-subscribe instructions are at the bottom and we apologize.As you may have noticed in our past newsletters, we like to add in little 'one liners' in between our stories and links. Usually these are just relayed to us through email. Well, in this edition, we are using some winning one liners from a recent contest in the "We Compute" magazine that is available in our area (Toronto area). If you want to check out their site...just go to www.we-compute.com . The names listed after the one liner is the winning entries author. These one liners are all extensions to: "You know you are spending to much time with your computer when....." Well, you win some...you lose some! In our last issue we offered free exposure to the winner of our contest, "Our Newsletter Needs a Name!" No one entered...:( Oh, well. We know it was a toughy...we had problems trying to think of a name ourselves, that's why we sent it out to you. So, we really had to put our brains in overdrive to come up with something. Thus, "Docu-Type's TidBits" is now the official name of our Newsletter. ....you get a tatoo that reads, "This
body best viewed with Netscape 3.0 or higher". We've been busy beavers this past month...we did some rearranging on our site! So, check it out and let us know what you think! ....you start tilting your head to
smile at people. :) With so many companies putting web pages on the Net, we decided to let you know of a few mistakes that are commonly made, but can be avoided, when getting your name up in 'bytes':
There are many more suggestions, such as being sure to list your contact information where your visitor can see it, promoting your site in the search engines, ensuring that the links still work, having content that will bring your visitors back again and again, not making any changes to your site and making your site unique...different from the rest. In short, make your site with your visitor in mind....what will they want and like? ....someone tells you a joke and you
respond, "LOL". As most of you are aware, we honor outstanding websites with our Superb Choice Award. The criteria for these sites is the usual...content, display, load time and much more. But the most important has to be that I don't mind if the site is up on my computer and my 3 yr old daughter comes into my office and sees it. So, if you haven't already applied for our award, send us a note with you name, email address, site url and title, where you found out about our award, your geographical location and we will be sure to check it out.

At Duke University, there were four sophomores taking Organic Chemistry. They did so well on all the quizzes, midterms and labs, etc., that each had, up that point, an "A" for the semester. These four friends were so confident that the weekend before finals, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends up there. They had a great time! However, after all the hardy partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final and explain to him why they had missed it. They explained that they had gone to UVA for the weekend with the plan to come back to study but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back, didn't have a spare and couldn't get help for a long time. As a result, they had missed the final. The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were elated and relieved. They studied that night and went in the next day at the time the professor had told them. The professor placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet and told them to begin. They looked at the first problem, worth 5 points, something simple about free radical information. "Cool," they thought at the same time, each in his separate room, "this is going to be easy". Each finished the problem and then turned the page. On the second page was written: "(for 95 points)- Which tire was flat?" Nice things you've said about our Newsletter:(again, here's a way to expose your site) "Great newsletter!!!!!" Lori A.
