Even More Keywords

[ssk7882]

Hi, all.

I asked yesterday if people could routinely post any changes they 
make to the database to this list so that the cullers could keep 
their own lists of them updated.  

I've found it useful while culling to have a list of keywords printed 
out and sitting next to the computer, and I was rather imagining that 
other people were probably doing the same.  The problem with the 
database, though, is that there is no way to tell at a glance when it 
has been edited -- and therefore when your own personal list of 
keywords needs to be brought up to date.  

So I felt that it would be very helpful if people could post here 
whenever they've updated the database -- not to consult or to open 
the floor for discussion, but just to keep us all appraised of the 
changes that have been made.

One Big Happy Weasley Family.  It stands for the shipping position 
that Harry will marry Ginny, Ron will marry Hermione, and then 
they'll all a be part of one big family.  They'll live together in 
bliss and harmony in the Burrow, and nobody will ever have to leave, 
ever again.  And Percy will hang himself.

I don't know how to link to it without using that huge URL either, 
Eloise, but if you are in webview, then it is in the "databases" 
section, which you get to by clicking on the link in the sidebar box 
on the left-hand side of the screen.

I don't know.  I've been trying to figure this one out myself.  I am 
really enjoying Excel, but I've seen better help documentation.  The 
next time around, they should really hire Dicey to write it for 
them.  Seriously.

Until we figure out the answer to this one, though, just do your best.
