Take heed and bear witness to the truths that lie herein, for I have
finally updated my website again! It came to my attention that despite
SweetSpearGirl's story of her journey through Normal being long finished,
it was never completely uploaded to my site!

Therefore I have HTMLised several chapters and uploaded them complete with
screenshots. IE users can hover their mouse over the images for humourous
captions; Firefox however doesn't seem to display ALT text and you have to
right-click the pics and select Properties.

Link is in my .sig, Enjoy! :)

Alt text is not supposed to be displayed when you hover with your mouse
over it, instead it should get visible only when the picture cannot be
displayed. It is bad design of IE to behave differently. But if you want
those captions you could use the title attribute, see also

Unfortunately I can't view that page, it wants me to pay money for a
subscription. :(

Odd, because there is no subscription. Can you access it if coming from
there Google results?

Nope, still comes up with a purchase subscription page. Weird.
Oh well... there's plenty of sites with that info :)
