EN World - Morrus' D&D/d20 News & Reviews Site - Long Title!

I've noticed that the site's page titles have grown from "EN World - D&D/d20 News & Reviews -..." to "EN World - Morrus' D&D/d20 News & Reviews Site -...", and that makes them very, very hard to read in many situations. If you hover the cursor over a minimized IE session, you can't always read the thread name. If you mail a thread (as an HTML page), the title gets clipped. Etc.

Maybe we could reduce it to "EN World - Morrus' d20 News -..."?

I'd just like to chip in that you should never, EVER, send HTML through mail. It's bad, evil, horrible and crappy. HTML is for the web, and not for mail.

When the goal is to send the HTML from Point A to Point B, it makes perfect sense to send HTML. If you're sending a generic text message, particularly if you're sending it to many, many people who may or may not have an HTML-enabled e-mail client, it's "bad, evil, horrible, and crappy."

If you want to send HTML, you send a link. That's what the H in HTML stands for.

I thought the H stood for hyper, wouldn't the L stand for link.

Except that web pages and links aren't permanent. Want some links to some great threads from test.cyberstreet.com? www.enworld.org/messageboards? www.enboards.org? http://dynamic3.gamespy.com?

I forgot one of the key examples of the problem: my browser's history list. Every entry says " EN World - Morrus' D&D/d20 News & Rev". Yeah, that's useful.

Great post.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE change this Morrus.

Now the back arrow in Internet Explorer has had its functionality decreased significantly.

I can no longer see what thread/place I'm going Back to.

I'll look at the page templates when I get a chance and see if I can change the page titles while leaving the actual site title intact on the page. Shouldn't be too hard.

A link that doesn't stay around for at least a week is useless. Don't bother to link to it.

A link that's been around for older than a week is out of date. That goes doubly so for stuff sent around via email.

Such is the web. If you want permanent info, cut and paste and save it as a text file. The web is dynamic by nature.

HTML = HyperText Markup Language. Hypertext is the newfangled whoopty-doo jargon for text that can be read in a nonlinear fashion, ie with hyperlinks 'n stuff.

To be exact, I should have said "that's what the HT stands for", but it wouldn't be as snappy.

Or, if you want to keep the formatting (and links), save it as an HTML file. If you want to keep all your saved HTML files in an indexed, easy-to-search format, e-mail them to yourself, and keep them in an Outlook (or Outlook Express) folder.

Don't use Outlook. Outlook is evil. And very open to viruses..
