miniboes, how about you?

TVA, do you know how to format text with CSS, etc. to make a web page with the letter on it? Or do you need somebody to help with that?

I have a basic understanding of CSS, but I am open to help and suggestions. Did you have a particular format for the letter in mind?

Nothing in particular, just to make sure the quotes stand out as distinct from the rest of the text (like in another div with a slightly different color and style).

We get that naturally on the forum due to quote tags.

Did you design the styles on this site?

I did some tweaks to the css, but I didn't design the styles.

since my most recent video went live, I now plan on working on this video. Question to the forum members. Since this letter is fairly long, I plan on dividing up the videos into sections. Question: Should I release all parts at the same time, or trickle them out (one every week/month)? Thoughts?

At the same time, please, if not too much trouble. Also, at the same time as posting the letter on the site.

I know it's usually better for publicity to release part by part, but it will be more convenient for Matt to read/watch and respond to it if it's all available.

If you want the best of both worlds, couldn't you just release it in parts, and then at the final part, show it all or something?

It would be in parts, but all of the parts should be available on the same day so what when Matt goes to watch the first part (if he finds it), he won't have to wait days or a week or whatnot for the next (because he'll probably forget, he's a busy guy).
