prefixy words?

juv3nal — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 12:19:32 -0800

What are some good words that form the prefixes for other words of varying definition? I want to write a rule-fudging sestina where I do (prefixy word as my sestina end of line word) + hyphen + linebreak + (ending of longer word). I've got things like:
arm (armory, armagnac, armageddon)
do (door, donate, dolor, doting, dog)

(you get the idea)

I've also got in, con, & all. What are some others?

Add "http://" Prefix to a List of Domains Formatted in Plain Text :: How Please?

Jhaus — Tue, 21 Feb 2006 22:05:50 -0800

Hi, hoping some MS Excel or HTML wizards can help me out with this. The goal is as follows; format a list of domain names so I can publish them on a webpage with hyperlinks to their individual addresses (currently they are all in Excel with each domain occupying a single cell in a single row; they are currently formatted like this: "domain.com"). There are just to many to go through and add this to each one. I'm thinking that one of these two solutions might work (just can't figure out how to do it!):
1) Use some formula in MS Excel to add the "http://" to each of the cells with a domain. Then just copy and paste into my HTML editor.

OR

2) Use some sort of code directly in the HTML editor to change "domain.com" into hyperlinked text.

This link came close, but just missed. Thanks so much for any help you might provide! Cheers!
