[sf-lug] Status of SF-LUG / Linux meeting(s) @ Noisebridge? & SF-LUG web site (mis?)information thereof

Mon May 20 17:57:26 PDT 2019

thank you, Akkana.

I read your

http://shallowsky.com/blog/tech/web/google-mobile-friendly.html

description, and thank you for clarity.

---------------------------

Here's all the header stuff:
<HEAD>
<TITLE>San Francisco Linux Users' Group</TITLE>
<META name="keywords" content="Linux, User, Group, San Francisco, 
sf-lug, LUG" />
</HEAD>

 From what I've read, the following addition will improve google's 
perception:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

Yes?

---------------------------

And there's our image, currently
<BODY>
<P> la la la </P>
<IMG SRC="LinuxKongSmall.jpg" align="left" width="289" height="701">
<P>mi mi mi </P>

which should be revised to be something like
<BODY>
<P> la la la </P>
<style type="text/css">
     IMG { SRC="LinuxKongSmall.jpg" align="left"; max-width: 100%; 
height: auto; }
</style>
<P>mi mi mi </P>

My guess is that the above is incorrect. Corrections anyone?

---------------------------

Nice that there's just the one page.
