   content=`Is your browser's Favorites menu becoming overloaded?  Use WubHub as a better way to organize your shortcuts to URLs.  Here's how to add a "WubHub Bookmark" button into your browser, so that when you're visiting a website you'd like to record in WubHub, it's only a click away!<p>  To add the following <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarklet">bookmarklet</a> to your browser's Favorites menu,  copy the following URL:
<UL>
   <a href="javascript:function p(){window.location='http://www.wubhub.com:4110/webl/WubHub_DoIt?cmdline=bookmark("'+document.title.replace("&"," and ")+'","'+document.location.href+'")'}p()">javascript:function p(){window.location='http://www.wubhub.com:4110/webl/WubHub_DoIt?cmdline=bookmark("'+document.title.replace("&"," and ")+'","'+document.location.href+'")'}p()</a>
</UL>


When you click on the favorite, your current page will be sent to WubHub's bookmark() command.

   when=`01/06/06 05:12:00 AM`,
   id=4,
   content=` Here are some tips to speed up your commandline entry:
<ul>

   <LI> Lose the quotes!  Instead of a websearch <i>distance("oakland", "san francisco")</i>, you can also type <i>distance(oakland, san francisco)</i>.  You don't need the quotes unless you want to embed a "," in the argument, such as <i>distance("oakland, ca", san francisco)</i>

   <LI> Lose the parens!  Some people like the faster ":" syntax, which saves one typed character.  Instead of <i>g("adam cheyer")</i>, you type the equivalent <i>g: adam cheyer</i>.


   <LI> Short Aliases: If you type a long command requently, simply create a new function that is an alias to this longer function, perhaps with some default arguments.  For example, alias "yahooLocal(searchTerm, location)" to be customized for you: yl(searchTerm) [set the default location to where you live].

</ul>

   id=2,
   content=`You can see what's happening in WubHub by executing or subscribing to the <a href="WubHub_DoIt?cmdline=activityLogs">activityLogs</a> function in WubHub (must be a member and logged in).  Are you doing cool things that others should know about?  Start your own activityLog!  Type <a href="WubHub_DoIt?cmdline=newBlog(activityLog)">newBlog(activityLog)</a> to initialize it, and then add an entry to it with the command <a href="WubHub_DoIt?cmdline=addEntryToBlog(activityLog)">addEntryToBlog(activityLog)</a>
