Format guidance (contributors please read) - UPDATED!

[MISC]
(originally posted 29 July 2005; refiling to be indexed by search engine)

Contributors, please add one or more of the following keywords in [square brackets], UPPERCASE, tiny font, boldface, and text color #ff9900 (that's third row, third column from the top-left if you're using the color palette) copy and paste one or more of the following HTML code snippets to the first line of your post (switch to Edit HTML mode to do this) in order to facilitate searching (once Google indexes this blog, that is). Thanks! If you have trouble getting it just right, don't worry, I can help tidy up the formatting of your post after you've published it.

UPDATE: Forget everything above. I finally decided to just set up a post template that's prepopulated with all topic tags. Move them around to indicate order of relevance. Delete the ones you don't need. It's that simple! :)

In case you delete any of the tags by mistake, you can then copy and paste the following code snippets back into your post.

UPDATE (3 November 2005): None of the code below works at this point. Just use the template. :)
