The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Which Android messaging app? You don't mean the GMail app for Android, do you?

No, just whatever fires up when I click on the default Messaging icon. It then presents me with each of the email accounts I have configured. Once I get into an inbox, I can folder, but not search, it seems. Why does Google's OS search suck so much?

The app named "Messaging" that came with my Droid is for text messaging through Verizon, it doesn't do e-mail at all. The Droid also came with a "Gmail" app that was easy to configure and use, as well as an "Email" app that I can't actually use for my Yahoo! account unless I upgrade to Yahoo! Mail Plus.

Hmm. OS variance. Messaging presents me with options to go into my text message inbox, or various email inboxes, or my Facebook messages and a universal inbox that gives me all the messages at once. Probably a Cliq thing, then. In fact, it doesn't seem to offer me the phone's default gmail account (which is fine, since I don't use that for email).

Huh. I just noticed it will let me add Twitter to it. It's a nifty idea, but SEARCH, people.

Ok, I have NO idea if this is possible, but...

So, I changed the background color on my ereader, and the change in ease on my eyes (and therefore my headache) was SO much better.

Can I use the CSS thingie to change the background color for Buffistas.org? I seem to vaguely recall someone mentioning something like that...maybe.

Keep in mind coding to me is like Latin. Except I know Latin. Maybe cuneiform.

Thanks!

Yes, you can, Erin. And I will reveal the grand secret in BBaBB++.

Let's go over.

I use Winrar. It's nagware, but it's just a matter of one extra click per session.

It says free 40-day trial. Won't it just lock me out after time's up?
