SETI@home News Vol. 122 (06/02/2011)

You're most welcome to do the news Toxic! Am really glad somebody is carrying it on :)

Just shout if you need any help with it.
 
Thank you TT must admit am glad of something to sink my teeth into :)
Will just keep the format as is and use the 3 links you have in there for the stats. I know the figures and what not will change weekly but did you just literally start a new thread each time you did the news or did you have a template of some kind.....would hate to be midway through it have a hiccup and loose everything :eek::)
 
Perhaps this was an inelegant way of doing things, but I saved all web pages that had data on I wanted to use, imported them into Excel where I'd then manually manipulate them to show the data as I wanted it to be presented in the news, and then lastly copied that data and pasted it into a Word document that I'd previously set up as a template for the news post. To make life easy, the Word document template included all BB code tags, headings, links - in fact, everything that stayed constant from one news post to the next - with the only information that changed in that document being the stats for the current week.
 
Ahhh right ho have a basic knowledge of Excel will have a wee practice run of importing etc, probably do a "mock up" to make doubly sure i have things right.
I cant promise strippers and bright lights but it should resemble how you have it at present and as its the news i will avoid the temptation of putting my own "nutty" slant to it :D

Much appreciated as allways TT :)
