My name is Andrew Sutton, aka Shandy.

I am currently living and working in the UK as a software developer. This blog contains mainly IT related issues.

I was a Microsoft VB MVP for a couple of years (Apr 2004-Mar 2006) and was a vbCityLeader between April 2003 and June 2007.

A useful feature I recently discovered in .TEXT is the Keywords feature. This feature can be found in the Options, Keywords part of the Administrator part of a .TEXT blog. This feature allows you to associate a word with a HTML anchor tag and have the keyword replaced with the anchor tag when your blog entry is posted. An example of this is the .TEXT word. When I typed this blog entry I typed the first sentence as:

A useful feature I recently discovered in .TEXT is the Keywords feature.

As I have registered .TEXT as a keyword with an associated URL http://scottwater.com/blog, title The blog of Scott Water. The creator of .TEXT and text .TEXT, the first sentence is actually posted in this blog entry as:
A useful feature I recently discovered in
<A title="The blog of Scott Water. The creator of .TEXT"
   href="http://scottwater.com/blog" 
   target="_blank">.TEXT>
</A>
is the <I><B>Keywords</B></I> feature.
I find this is a real time saver for common links I tend to use over and over again like vbCity and MVP ! You can also specify if you want the anchor link to open in a new window or if you want just the first or all occurrences of the keyword in the blog entry to be replaced by the associated anchor tag.
