If you click on the title of a post, you will be taken to the archive copy of the text, where there are many options:

"Print this post" -- creates a printable screeen
"Add to Favourites" -- See below
"Related Posts" -- other posts that are in some way similar
"(Visited N times)" -- Started Jan 5, 2010

If you click "Add to Favourites", the software sets a cookie on your computer. This cookie is quite harmless; however, it saves a list of your favourite posts on this site. When you want to see the list, Just move your cursor over "Lists" in the top menu, then click on "Your favourites", and a list of links to your favourite posts will allow you to revisit these posts any time you wish. Note that clearing your cookies will clear the list.

Follow Douglas Hill You can tell me from the other Douglas Hills by the picture:

In various places on this site, if you don't have a Gravatar (an icon that represents you and appears with any comment you make), you will be asked if you want one, and given a link to the Gravatar site.

Some forums or discussion groups let you choose an icon to represent you on each post. Blogs generally do not have that capability unless you register as a subscriber. worducurrents does offer a few icons to registered subscribers, but the selection is fairly limited. WordPress is set up to utilize Gravatars instead.

Here's the scoop about Gravatars:
It is a small image that you choose. It is associated with your email address, so that when you indicate your email when you post, that Gravatar will appear with your post. If you have more than one email address, you can register a different Gravatar for each address. Registration is free, and you can change them. There are sites that list icons or avatars, as they are sometimes called. I prefer Gravatars because they are part of the open source (free) community. Give it a whirl!

At the bottom of some posts is a podcast player which looks like this: clicking on the play button starts the sound. You may adjust the volume by the sound control to the left. You may access a complete list of podcasts here. I shall add to this list as I add podcasts. I have recently improved my recording equipment; as a result the sound quality will improve. If you have any requests, please comment below the podcast list.

Leisure Arts Duplicate Bridge — it has a ring to it. It is here because I have started posting the scores for our bridge club, taught and directed by Joddy Campbell. We meet every Tuesday at Cornwall Civic Complex, 1 pm to 4 pm. The scores are dropped off for me Wednesday afternoon, and I post them here, in Google Spreadsheets. I post the top five scores of usually twelve to fifteen tables.

Direct method:

1. select the post by dragging your cursor over the poem from bottom to top.

2. Click (in Windows), then click "Selection" so that it does not print the while page, then click "Print".

The disadvantage of using this technique on my printer is that the font prints small.

Formal method (easier):

1. Click on the title of the entry.

2. On the resulting screen, click on "Print the entry below".

3. On the resulting screen, click on "Print" in the lower right corner to print all, or

4. Select what you want to print as in the "Direct Method" above. The type will be regular size.

Thanks to Lester Chan for his excellent wp-print plugin.
