This is a bit of a follow-up to some of the gaming stuff I was doing last month. No real new information here, but I'm trying out some formatting tricks for use in the future. If it doesn't work for you or you have any thoughts, feel free to comment.

You're cramming a huge spreadsheet into a tiny window, and it's really hard to read and compare a meaningful amount of data. I ended up right-clicking on the frame and opening it in a separate Firefox tab. Putting a link to the document, or maybe a preview image with a link, is a lot easier to read and more effective.

Well, about a link and the frame. That seems more useful than a preview image to me.
Though I think the main trick might just be to only do small spreadsheets, perhaps with multiple workbooks.

I mean to say "how about a link and the frame?"

Lemme clarify what I meant by "preview image." In the last RPG mechanics post, you had the graph that's currently imbedded in your spreadsheet as an image in the post. I thought that was a good use of graphics. So what I meant was to take a chart from the spreadsheet and incorporate it into the post, then either have a link to the main spreadsheet underneath that (or by clicking on the image, if that's possible).
Having a preview image of the numbers on the spreadsheet isn't that helpful, yeah. But I don't really like the small scrolling frame within the post.

Ah, yeah, that makes sense.
