Online magnetic poetry. Hey, let's all write magnetic poetry, take screenshots, upload them, and post the URLs in the comments. Best screenshot posted by midnight tomorrow wins something. How about a copy of Joe Clark's Building Accessible Websites? I have 3. (102 words) [dive into mark]

Lotus Notes Tips

The Amazing Collapsing Section
Here's a great way to save space in your Notes form or memo -- create a collapsible section. This feature allows you to put portions of text into sections users can expand if they want to read the whole paragraph. In Edit mode, highlight the text you want to collapse, then select Create, Section. That's it-- the text automatically collapses into a section. Clicking on the twistie (point) beside the section expands the text.

Moving On
You can move to Notes documents while you're still in another document without going to the view. All you have to do is click the Next icon in the SmartIcon bar or press Enter when you have the first document in read mode. You immediately go to the next document in the view.

Only Unread
The previous tip explained how to move to the next document in a view without going to the view. You can also do this to get to the next unread document in the view. With the document in read mode, just click the Next Unread icon from the SmartIcons bar. The first document closes and the next unread document in the view opens.

Quick Help
Like most programs, Lotus Notes allows you to do some things quickly by pressing certain keys or combinations of keys. For example, if you want to get quick help about whatever you may be doing in Notes, press F1. A context-sensitive help screen appears.

New Memo
From just about anywhere in Notes, press Ctrl+M to create a new mail memo.

Security
For security reasons, it's usually not a good idea to leave your Lotus Notes open when you leave your desk for any length of time. Rather than having to close and then re-open several times a day, you can just hit the F5 key - the next time you try to do anything in Notes such as opening or sending a message you will have to type in your Notes password.
