This piece of text (just above this line) is interesting because, once I put it on this page, 
I was able to change the font to Arial, but I thought that it was limited to Courier. (?)

 

(how to make a horizontal line)


(how to make a blockquote)

If I wanted to quote someone, here is how I would do it, using the blockquote tag, because it indents on both sides of the page, and keeps the material within its own smaller margins here. I suppose I would want to note the author's name at the end of the quotation also, just to make sure it was noticed as such.

I can even separate paragraphs within the block quote section, all I have to do is not end the tag yet.

By yours truly (end of blockquote near here)

(how to specify special characters - also note the non-breaking spaces)

the "less than" uses <  thus >

the "greater than" uses &gt;  thus <

the "ampersand" itself uses &amp;  thus &

and the "quote" uses &quot;  thus "x"

(also how to do a 4-level nested list, actually 5 levels deep, and I tried out the disc and circle type attributes. For some reason the first unordered list came out with round, solid bullets and the rest were square, solid bullets, but when I added types disk and circles, they did change)

General Sites with Salary Surveys

What Am I Worth? (The Riley Guide)
http://dbm.com/jobguide/salary.html
One of the most important sections here is on Evaluating Salary Data. Because data on salaries for geographers is so difficult to find, we tend to be more accepting of it. This site poses questions to help us evaluate that data we do find.
Salary Surveys and Other Information (JobSmart)
http://www.jobsmart.org/tools/salary/sal-surv.htm
Includes both specific and general survey information, plus extras such as cost-of-living comparisons, guides to printed surveys, salary issues and negotiation strategies. The section,"Profession-specific Salary Surveys," are linked on the site to more than 45 categories, each of which may have several surveys.
Salary Surveys (InfoWorld 1998 Compensation Survey)
http://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/displayCareers.pl?98entcar.welcome.htm
Primarily covering IT professionals, the site also includes short articles on issues beyond salaries, such as training, bonuses, raises and work hours, as well as comparative salary information on management levels.
