Tip for Microsoft Internet Explorer Users

As some of you know, a bug in the Internet Explorer browsers makes it impossible to edit web pages with Tripod's Homepage Builder.
Tripod Member, Chemingway, offered this tip:
I use Microsoft Internet Explorer. When I need to make a change I visit my page on the web and view source. There I make my changes, and then "copy" the entire page down to where it ends and the tripod information appears. I then come out to the tripod page and modify my page. Go into the modify area, delete everything that is in the text area and paste in the text and tags that I copied after making changes from the view source area. Save it and it's done. It works for me!
Tip from the Friendly Folks at Tripod
You can now check your page counters via email rather than having to view the page and increasing the counter. If you use the counter that comes standard with Tripod homepages, you can send mail to [email protected] with only your member name in the subject line and the server will send you back a message indicating the number of page views on all of your pages on Tripod that have a counter.

If you have a tip that you would like to share, please email it to [email protected]
