Re (tilly) 2: Outputing HTML files

Please use the linking conventions. When you give a full URL, if someone follows your link but is using this site under a different name, they will lose their login.

That is instead of constructing the above link with either of:

<a href="http://www.perlmonks.com/index.pl?node_id=69097">here</a>
[http://www.perlmonks.com/index.pl?node_id=69097|here]

it is best if you use:

[id://69079|here]

And a tip for those who don't want to accidentally post as Anonymous Monk. Set your personal theme to anything other than the site default. Then when you follow a link that can leave you logged out, you will see everything change colour and know what happened...
