Book Review: Scott Westerfeld’s Behemoth
I received this book for free from the library in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Source: the library Behemothby Scott Westerfeld steampunk in a hardcover edition that was published by Simon Pulse on October 5, 2010 and has 481 pages.Explore it on Goodreads or Amazon Other books by this author which I have reviewed include GoliathSecond in the Leviathan steampunk series for Young Adults. My Take Excellent! I do like how Westerfeld blends our version of history with his version. A very successful series of escapes, revolution, disguises, sabotage, and secrets culminating in a wee bit of disaster for Alek. Leviathan has made it to Constantinople, I mean, Istanbul, and we are treated to a blend of mekaniks and beasties in the Ottoman Empire along with a lot of cloak-and-dagger. Can’t wait to read Goliath, 3.

Creating a custom email message for clients to send themselves
In working on a client’s mobile website, I needed to make the mobile viewer aware of the coupon available (from the client). Unfortunately, they can’t print the coupon from a mobile phone and I certainly didn’t want to lose this opportunity to promote the client so I needed the viewer to be able to remind him/herself. Voila! Or is that eureka!?! If the viewer could click an image link which would then create an email message which the viewer could send to him/herself. And, wanting to make this process as painless for the viewer as possible, I really, really wanted to include the URL for the promotions page and a message reminding the viewer why they were (had?) sent this message to themselves. Dave Taylor had a great suggestion to deal with this little marketing issue. First, create a standard mailto link: <a href=”mailto: > </a> I’m not adding in a mailto address as I want the viewer to fill in with their own address Add a subject so the viewer doesn’t think it’s junk mail <a href=”mailto: ?Subject=My Promotions coupon at DR. PLUMBER”> </a> Well, if I got this email I wouldn’t remember why I’d sent it, so we […]
BYOW: Shaped Text in iWeb
by Kathy Davie iWeb makes it easy to create shaped paragraphs using the Shapes tool. Double-click your choice of shape onto your webpage. Double-click inside the shape to add your text. Select the text and choose justify so the paragraph follows the shape’s perimeter. This is a good time to choose the color, style, weight and font of the text. The triangular text on the right uses a blank background with no stroke causing the text alone to show.
