> Okay, okay. So I'm very much still the new kid on the block here. But with my knowledge of CGI and Perl, and because there haven't been any archives for a while, I thought I'd create a tool to help you create them for yourself. :)

It will convert it into the HTML format used by RinkChat, and offer you an opportunity to edit it. In most cases, you can skip that screen and just click 'Finish' at the bottom. It'll then give the HTML in a text box so you can copy and paste it onto your site. :)

I think it's pretty cool. If I ever get my webpage around I'll use it for documentations on the site, in case some people come up with useful advice relevant to my page. Unfortunatly I'm not supposed to be in a chat room, and I still don't understand the properties of it. Awe well. I can learn!^.~
