Test story to show off Horus

This new web site uses a version of "Cold Fusion" hacked into shape by WebHorus, and turned into a professional-looking NewsWireless.

There are things we can't do, and it's much easier to list those, than all the things we can do. So here's a few of the things which we can do. Usually, these won't all happen in the same piece of publishing.

For example, we can do sub-headings

The sub-heading is normally the start of a long section, and one of the things that might be in that section is a list:-

  • This is the first point
  • The second follows it
  • the third comes before the fourth
  • If there are only five, the fourth is penultimate
  • And this would be hte last, in a five-list.
  • Another sub-heading might follow

    and it might be in Italic - why not? And the heading might deal with a Table. They're intractable things, tables. But you can do them:

    Income Profit
    February £ 456,345 £ 45
    March £ 345,432 £ 456

    Fonts: well, here's an interesting thing. Yes, I can do fonts - but I haven't found a way of typing them in. What I can do, however, is cut and paste fonts. But I can show pictures of cute people... and I can get some strange headings:

    Why Should Your Site Validate?

    Validated HTML documents are now a key aspect of Web life to ensure document portability. However, there's a misconception that users who advocate HTML validation are using scare tactics as to its importance. Many advocates of validation are computer professionals, who have learned the hard way that portability and compatibility are key elements to ensuring the longevity of Web pages. Valid HTML is less likely to cause problems with different browsers and more likely to survive the next browser release.

    If facts and logic cant speak for themselves, then those that dont try and evolve deserve to be sitting on the fence watching their sites decay with future technologies. It's not our job to convince anyone about what to do and what not to do. Its not the W3C's job to lead by example. It's our job as IT professionals to take a recommendation, and run with it as far as we can and push the envelope.

    Sorry about that. Amazing text variations.  Anyway, that shows it can be done.
