In the March issue I neglected to give the URL for One Hundred Years of Photography from the NATIONAL ARCHIVES: http://www.nara.gov/exhall/picturing_the_century/home.html
Thanks to subscriber Bill Gruener, who took time to suggest ways that I could better organize the newsletter's categories.
Want to move back and forth between pages you've already visited? Hold down the Alt key and use the right or left arrow.
You like a page so much you want it as a shortcut on your Desktop. Use Shift+F10 and the menu drops down. Type the letter "T" (or click on Create Shortcut). This puts it on the Windows Clipboard. Minimize all your windows until the Desktop appears. Right click in an open space, then choose "Paste Shortcut" from the drop-down menu. An icon appears, and the next time you want this page, click on it.

DID YOU KNOW?
The new Associated Press Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law is out, and has a dandy section on the Internet. Buy it from an online bookstore or from http://www.ap.org/
COLLOQUIALISMS (idioms, regional sayings, slang, jargon, etc.) When using such words or phrases, it's not necessary to call attention to them by surrounding them with quotation marks.
