I guess that I'm showing my age when I post this, but I got exempted from doing any of these rituals. Suckers...

Sorry
but I have another technical question...

how do connect hyperlink to text in this forum and on learning log posts? I can't seem
to figure that one out. (Is it HTML code that I use?...do I hardcode hyperlinks?)

thx
niels

[URL=A"]B["/URL]
A: website address
B: Hyperlink text
(Remove the "s - I put them there so it will display the code instead of making a
link.)

It's good ol' BBCode.

Awesome! Thanks for the information!

cheers
niels

I thought it wasn't even possible for newbies to make links. I thought there was some
automatic restriction to make it impossible in order to reduce spamming. Or does
writing them yourself rather than using the button get you around that problem?

for the record...i am not a spammer so that won't be a problem from this end...but i
would like to be able to post links of interest directly related to my language
learning

on another note, how does one graduate from newbie member to non-newbie? sign up for
PRO? seek the blessing of a more senior member?

just wondering

niels

Painful and degrading initiation rites which include conjugating verbs in at least two
languages, writing in two alphabets and making a YouTubevideo in a language you do not
speak :-)

LOL that is going to be painful...no one will want to watch the train wreck that will
be me posting a video in a language i don't speak...and oh, and the horrors of
conjugation...ugh...memories of high school french...

cheers

Really delighted that so many people want to learn Irish! Go n-éirí libh (good
luck!). If I can help at all let me know. I grew up speaking equal amounts of English and Irish.

Great to hear from you again Khublei, do you still write blogs in Irish? We'd be honoured to have you in our little clan
if you'd like to join us for the ride. As you're already a native speaker of Irish, would you consider being a
"godmother" to our team?

I'd love to! If you guys have any questions you can ask me!

And yes, I write blogs. Only written one in the last while as I'm working on some short stories in Irish (that I'll share
some day).

Is there any openings on a Slavic team for me? I'm finally getting serious about Russian.

My TAC teammates can skip this message:

I've finally sat to write a proper self-introduction for my team mates - something about me and about my languages at my TAC'13 log so they all get to know (all who don't, that is) a bit more about me, and thus have an idea of what to expect -- maybe even drop by and comment. Over the next couple of days I'll try to hunt down all their individual logs or posts about themselves...

Which brings me here to make yet another suggestion for TAC participants: instead of writing self-introductions in the middle of team threads or here where they can be easily overlooked, paste them at the beginning of individual logs so they're easier to locate, especially for those who, like me, belong or want to belong to more than one team... it'll be asier for everybody else to keep track of who you are, that NASA engineer or the lost African explorer who writes from Japan ;)

And Finnish counted as two languages for me, as long as I could explain all the affixes in epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydellänsäkäänköhän .
