Minimal visual aids

You are quite correct - I have not been around an awful lot recently. When one has little to say, one says little. As partial recompense I offer a few little graphical pieces meant to make the use of SLurls a little more obvious. Which more clearly displays that one might visit a location - Caledon Cay or Caledon Cay? Well, sir or madam or other, I believe it to be the latter, and should you agree with me, the easiest solution to enable the use of such a display is to add the following to the Style Sheet for one's page:

a.slurl {
    background:
        url('http://ordinalmalaprop.com/images/slurl-12x16.gif')
        center left no-repeat #fff;
    padding-left: 14px;
    font-weight: bold;
}

and then simply add class="slurl" within one's links, thusly:

<a href="blah" class="slurl">blah x,y,z</a>

Of course, some readers may be unable to access their Style Sheets, in which case there is always the lengthy and inconvenient option that does however produce the same result:

<a href="blah" style="background: url('/images/slurl-12x16.gif') center left no-repeat #fff; padding-left: 14px; font-weight: bold;">blah x,y,z</a>

as well as the slightly-different-but-easier-to-remember option of using a simple image:

<a href="blah" style="font-weight: bold;"><img src="http://ordinalmalaprop.com/images/slurl-12x16.gif" alt="" /> blah</a>

blah

Lastly, here is a small button-type thing which one might use instead of both hand and text:

<a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Caledon%20Cay/128/128/32/"><img src="/images/slurl-44x15.png" alt="slurl" /></a>
