I always coded after the fact. It was easy. I just assumed everyone did. The find and replace are in Microsoft Word for a reason.

A lot easier without having to type out the code. Same. I always use { } when I write description and then just find and replace with the appropriate code, yet it still never failed I'd find 65 { but only 64 } and have to skim the RP to see where I screwed up. People who just bold and italicize; y'all are quitters.

I used to always code after the fact. But I think if I started again I'd just spend a couple of hours learning bulletin board properly and do it as I go along. I always posted roleplays quite late and having to stay up that extra while formatting was a pain in the arse.

And that's why I kept my coding simple with bold for narrative and actions. I always felt it served me better because folks could just read the content as opposed to deciphering through code. As time went on, my coding got more and more streamlined. It's funny, because I'd assign each character a color code - at the peak number of cast members I had, I could spit the six digit code out like it was nothing. Muscle memory. Now, the only one I remember was David Brennan's...."green".

How hard is it to stick the hex in a sticky note Mark?

How hard is it to stick the hex in a sticky note Mark? That's how I logged them at first, but it eventually got to the point where I didn't even need to check. I very rarely have the opportunity to use the desktop version here, so keeping everything mobile was in my best interest, as the mobile version lacks most (read: all) of the editing tools. The irony now is that, for the first time in ages, I have a laptop of my own, and it solely functions as a gaming center and third screen to watch cartoons and wrestling whilst working from home.

Formatting is so much wonkier and complicated then it used to be. The amount of time it takes me is absurd. On multiple occasions I've stared at code wondering what I'm doing wrong, only to say screw it and re-type it exactly the same as before and it suddenly works. what is this black wizardry This is exactly how I’ve been every time I’ve done results since coming back. It’s like I’ve been dropped onto some strange planet and I’m trying to learn an alien language.

I would put in short placeholders for the formatting like <fl> and </fl> for something Frank Lynn was saying. Then after all my writing and editing was done I would global search and replace it into proper code.

while I know Prophet of Ash isn't necessarily hallmarked by a video tape around these parts, I figured I'd offer these up here anyways. I just got them in today. acrylic pins with embossed with my service mark. I've got stickers as well, as well as a fair few DVDs around that I've cut. if you want a physical piece of my WFWF afterlife, PM me. Or watch Guanatos Hardcore Crew on IndependentWrestling.TV. I produced a show called Murder Mansion. it's deathmatches in a mansion. it's great fun. The New Wave Pro "Higher Ground" series also has my fingerprints all over it, down to timing out matches and producing promos.
