Absurdly-long URLs can be managed just by hitting  to
break them into one-line pieces.  The reader can open a
browser and a mailer in separate windows, and copy-paste in
installments.

I frequently do this with URLs that have broken somewhere 
along the way; URLs that are broken deliberately, in logical 
places, are much easier.


(Note:  filenames that include the entire file are a fine
example of "Just because you *can* doesn't mean that you
*should*".  About half the time, I don't need to click a
link, just read the URL.)

[lace] reporting lace news

2018-05-10 Thread Lorelei Halley
The description Devon gives of her lace reporting activities was
interesting. I am doing much the same thing, collecting information form the
20 odd facebook lace groups that I belong to and posting the best parts to
laceioli and needlelacetalk. Interesting photos are posted to my pinterest
pages. The photos I select to link to are either very good examples of a
particular type, or exceptionally unusual or very high quality design. There
is a lot of lace news being reported. I often hesitate to post on arachne
because !. arachne can't handle photos, and I would have to make a separate
post to our flickr account. And 2. Arachne can't handle long urls, and
nowadays nearly all photos on the web have very long urls. Now, I could take
the time to do all this, but I spend a lot of my day, every day, checking
out my facebook groups. There is a limit to how much fussing I am willing to
do.  So to see what is interesting -

I think I will have to get an Instagram account to keep up with Devon.
