I would probably need
Another "for Dummies" book just to help me understand this one. An excellent resource that will sit next to my keyboard! Thank you and noobingly yours. Andrea "She wiped out a day's worth of stories all by herself." Dimaggio

Possa Dio riccamente vi benedica, tutto il mio amore!
Love, Andrea Lena
You're absolutely welcome
Totally cool that you like "the book." Us newbies have to stick together, y'know.

My thanks to you from a certified non-geek and computer abuser.
How can I repay you, dear girl? Perhaps an emailed copy of the complete text of some of my humble efforts?

welcome!
You're absolutely welcome, Nancy. And no need to reciprocate - my pleasure.
By the way, do you have the number of that school, so I can get my certification as well? heheheheh
Great!
Something a lot more ambitious than I've tried. Thanks. :)
One thing...in TSFD, you say: "BigCloset TopShelf is designed to receive contributions in HTML code."
Actually, it isn't. It's designed for posting stories in plain text, with blank lines between paragraphs. HTML allows you to enhance the appearance of the story but it is not required and in fact, pure HTML will cause problems onsite. Not problems that can't be overcome but HTML isn't the principal method recommended for posting stories on BC.
After you get this settled and stable, we should make a way to download this PDF direct from the site (with an advert for your fledgling publishing house. :)

Thanks for the clarification.
Hi, Erin!
Thank you for the clarification. I will get cracking and be sure to put the correction in the second edition.
Thank you also for the offer. I will do indeed take you up on it as soon as I can get "the book" stable, as you said. All of us at Danny Fairchild Publications thank you. ;-)
thanks
Thanks a lot. It is a great help. But perhaps it would have been funnier to call it "Topshelf for Blondes".

Then it would certainly have limited the destined people (or how do you say it anyway?) ;)

Potential
That would be either "potential market' or "target audience". I'd certainly like a copy of this. (Yeah, I'm blonde, don't even say it!)

Let me use my newly-discovered editorial powers, then (hey, I have published my "book" already, so I think I'm entitled heheheh).
Perhaps the right phrase is "the number of people it was destined for."
Editorially yours,

Hey!
Hey! I resemble that remark!
heheh. Just jokin', Melissa. Glad "the book" could help.
Hey! I'm not blonde
I only behave that way.
Seriously, I'm just an absent-minded, accident-prone, short-sighted redhead (a blonde in disguise, if you like).
Anyway, I'm a good girl (yeah, right!), I do as I'm told. My stories have only the text and blank lines - occasional italics and bold.
Like my dad used to say (and which I spent a lot of money ignoring), if it works, don't fix it.

state of mind
Someone once said that Being Blonde is a state of mind...
Welllll, like, fer sure, like, totally rili rili kewl! Y'know?
Bobbie Cabot... duh
p.s. No offense is meant to our platinum-headed friends: this was just a joke, reflecting the stereotype-blonde, and not in reference to real-life blondes, as hair color does not reflect one's intellectual capacity, interests or proclivities. 'kay? (whew, - skated through that one...)
