What tricks can you do?

How well do you know HTML? Can you work with scripts to vamp up a web site? Do you know how to make an ebook? Do you know how to make an HTML file into a text file if your ezine needs both versions? Have you considered a blog versus the standard website? All those and many other tricks should be in an online writer's arsenal. How many can you claim?

I'm not a shining example. I know HTML well enough to pick out what I want to copy when I see a great idea on another website. (Not that I copy it exactly, just use the idea as a base). I know how to make HTML into text, though I expect there could be easier ways if I dabbled a bit more with software downloads. I know what a blog is and I've kept a few versions of them.

I don't know much about ebooks and I wouldn't claim to be comfortable around scripts. I can figure out how to use very simple scripts on my website but I'd be reluctant to work with anything more advanced than mouseovers and the like.

We should know more than enough to get by. There are a lot of us out here and more writers are coming online every week. Already we aren't that unique. Soon we'll be pretty ordinary and eventually you won't be able to find any writer without an online presence, at the very least. Even a dead writer can have a website! They just can't do the coding themselves.
