I've been wanting to do this for at least four years. And, finally, my late 20th Century vision has been realized.

For years, people have been asking if it was OK to put True stories on their web sites. I have, from time to time, given permission for specific stories to be posted on special request, but I have never given "blanket" permission for sites to put up "sample" stories at will. Then I had an idea on how to do it.

I most definitely wanted it done right, and to exacting specifications. Recently, my friend (and brilliant programmer) Leo of Ask-Leo! took on the challenge of meeting my rather stringent requirements, and I'm happy to finally announce "True-a-Day". If you have a web site, you can put one quick source line on any page and have a True story show up on that page.

And here's the best part: the story changes every day. Or maybe this is the best part: it's free.

What a cool way to bring people back to your site again and again! And you can customize the look in several ways so that it fits in nicely with your site design.

Please try it out and let me know what you think: True-a-Day. There's also a SSI/PHP version for more advanced webmasters.
