I have decided to start this thread for discussing technical issues that come up rather than messing up the other threads.
I guess the first issue seems to be pasting Word text into posting boxes.
Recently we have had three threads lockup up as a result of posts involving Word text.

This is a link to Caroline's great new blog (for the umpteenth time!)
Did you clear the link URL window or did you highlight the contents?
Good question. I shall try again! I really do appreciate your patience Tiger.
Right this is the URL to Caroline's blog
http://www.rspb.org.uk/community/placestovisit/lochgartenospreys/b/lochgartenospreys/archive/2011/06/21/soggy-solstice.aspx
Now this is Caroline's blog
So you either delete Caroline's blog from the window and paste
or highlight it and paste.
Link to Caroline's new blog (hopefully)

Wow wow wow. Well done!
Hazel What were you doing wrong?
No, no, no. Well done you Tiger! You have so much patience! I would have been here all night trying if if weren't for you. I can't thank you enough! The key was to clear (delete) the Link URL box and then paste. I'm going to try to have another go (practice makes perfect) with a different link now). You are an absolute star Tiger, I really do appreciate your help.

Ah you can go around telling everyone how easy it is now!
You are right practice does make perfect. It is amazing how students do not follow that.
You could also try highlighting the contents of the window and pasting. That is how I do it normally.
Almost most of my students become far better at doing these things than me. But teaching them to others always seems to come back to me!

Well that is linking to page 7. Normally you would want to link to page one.
I can see everyone will be competing to link the daily threads!
