I had to look that up. What I found was "Crabby Office Lady": http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/CH010149515.aspx?CTT=97 That's a really good suggestion and fits in with Sophie's comment about including usage tips. A column would work best if someone (or several people) were available to write articles regularly, but there's no reason why people can't do an occasional article, short tip, etc. We can also link to articles on other people's blogs, or ask for permission to republish them. Many people are more likely to read the blog if it has more than just announcements on it. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
