websites, books, and starting new jobs.

Between the end of 2024 and the start of 2025, I have taken on a lot more odd jobs. I dogsit, babysit as usual and now I do bus monitoring for the school bus.

This article sounds less professional, but don't worry, that's because I'm not a regular journalist. I'm not supposed to be here! I can actually hear the staff yelling at me through the door right now, though it should take them a while since I barricaded myself in. According to junior Noodle Soup reporter Defín Etelie-Legett, my current approach is "illegal" and will result in my being "escorted from the premises", but so far the filing cabinet has held.

<h3> class labeled appropriate for all sub-headlines, experts say

Readers and journalists alike are all aflutter over shocking new claims regarding a lesser-used level of title depth. A less important headline may vary in size, but only use the third depth of heading unless it is truly subordinate, to remain consistent with semantic heading law.

Meanwhile, some users of blockquotes have expressed frustration at being asked to use arbitrary custom entities to recreate the basic qualities of their element.

"They pulled out my text and used it for emphasis," said one user, who has asked to remain anonymous. "And they can't even give me a simple built in solution for it! Just make it one element, or don't do it at all, that's what I say." Another expressed concerns about about the inconsistency of the internal schema: "Most of these stylesheets, they use divs and spans with the names to tell it what to do—why the sudden change? It just seems weird, you know? It's unprofessional. They can't even make the blockquote look right when it's in certain spots on the page either."

"We had to add an entire paragraph just to make this page look right," admits senior editor Notegg R. Amen, shaking their head. "It's ridiculous. Can't we expect better after all these years? We only implemented clearfix last month, and half the blueprints still use minimum height requirements as a kludge anyway."

They pulled out my text and used it for emphasis.

Cascading style sheets architect Eggy Ramen declined to comment on the matter, saying, "Translating a static layout to a resizable webpage is difficult work" and "I make what I make."

Average Neocities User May Already Possess HTML Know-How, Competence

A recent unfinished study of users of the website Neocities suggests users who have constructed more than 5 webpages may already have a basic grasp of HTML (HyperText Markup Language), and not need the guidance of a new page's famous standard tutorial.

For example, this is a paragraph! Here's how you make a link: Neocities.

Here's how you can make bold and italic text.

Lists are uncommon in this style, but if it's absolutely required, architects may employ them nonetheless. Here's how to make a list:

NASA Announces First Lunar Base Football Match, Team Composition

At the behest of the lunar base astronauts, NASA has declared approval for an official lunar football match involving twenty-three astronauts across the two major moon bases, Artemis and Selene, meeting at a newly constructed field just a quarter mile from the Artemis mission's primary hydro-crater.

Fans will be able to observe the match from home via live broadcast and streaming from official NASA sources.

According to a particularly frazzled-looking member of the ground control team we interviewed on their brisk walk home to their apartment, "John Madden? Exclamation point. Question mark? Exclamation point. Question mark." ■

"This is a subtitle," says secondary header headline

Honestly I'm not very impressed with the security in here. They literally left the fire escape window of the employee lounge open? It was only a matter of time before someone climbed in there, so I think it's for the best it was me. Also, I tried making some coffee in their coffee maker and it made a really awful gurgling noise and spat out several clumps of coffee-like gloop instead, which tasted terrible, so I think they lose points for employee perks as well.

The banging on the door is getting louder and I think I heard someone with a walkie-talkie, so I'm just going to send this to print.

All in all, 5/10 newspaper. I would dock more points for poor hospitality, but I've been reading for years and their articles usually are quite good, especially the illustrated ones about that little boy with the tiger. ■
