In case you haven't noticed, I've developed a new method for creating links in ink. The previous attempt used the obvious solution of image mapping. However, this method isn't very useful since it lacks a good way to highlight a link, as with underlining text. Thus, I've come up with something new.

Instead of a map, I've decided to go with layers. After tooling with the code, I boiled down a template that links to an external script and style sheet. All I have to do is fill in the link info.

I upload the resultant web page and ink images to my web site. Then in Blogger, I paste in the code for the inline frame followed by the text. Takes a few more steps than my usual process, but it's nice to have the option available.

    Ink + hyperlinks + searchable text + multimedia = Sumocat's Scribbles. Partly a "proof of concept", partly an exploration into the capabilities of the True Notebook computer known as the Tablet PC, entirely a waste of time, unless you are interested in reading, hearing, or seeing my thoughts about the True Notebook (Tablet PC), politics, culture, and whatever else crosses my path.

    Known throughout the Tabletscape as the "Father of Ink Blogging", Sumocat spills ink as part of an open-ended experiment in this new field of ink blogging. Armed with his convertible Toshiba R25 (a True Notebook a.k.a. Tablet PC), he evangelizes the cause of ink blogging through word and deed. Only when ink stains every corner of the Inkernet will the Sumocat find respite. And if you be not a friend of the pen nor a knight of the stylus, beware... for you have reason to fear the Sumocat.
