Frugal Fridays Correction

The wrong article was put up on FF yesterday morning - it was a rough draft
of the one that will appear next week. The correct one is now up - a trip
report from 2 little Vegas visitors. The new URL is
http://tinyurl.com/73lsn.

teaching...no periods in urls...this should work...

Is my brain completely dead? I can't figure out what I did wrong. This is the same url (Is URL not supposed to be caps?) I had in my original post. I put a period at the end of it because it was the end of the sentence. That has never been a problem before - I clicked on my link(with the period at the end) and it went to the right Web site.

Each e-mail program has its own different way to extra URIs from
plain text. When a URI ends with a period, some will include
the period in the URI (that's the most accurate reading of the
specification), some will trim the period away (that's the most
reliable way in the real world). To help ensure that all programs
work fine it's better to leave a whitespace at the end of any URI
that's written in a text document (that includes e-mail).

JBQ (who spends too much time during the week reading
such specifications).

Thank you, JBQ, for that explanation. I will now try to remember to leave a white space at the end of an URL.
