Hi --

<tip type="requesting site checks">
When putting a URL into an email, put it inside angle brackets, like so:
<http://www.evolt.org/>.  This makes it easier for people who want to 
visit the site to do so, as it clearly delineates to the email program 
what is the link and what is not.  I often click on a link and get a 
404 because the email program thought a closing parentheses or period 
was part of the URL.  (Such as if someone typed http://www.evolt.org).
</tip>
