[USPS-Webmasters] Website update notes

[Bob S]

Bill....I appreciate getting this reminder. I just went back and looked 
our site over, and found a few references to the United States Power 
Squadrons without using the registered mark. In the process of 
correcting both sites now, along with replacing the VSC decal.

By the way, I'm sure most webmasters know this, but to include the 
registration mark in the text, the html tag is "®", without the quotes.

Thanks again.

Bob Story, Madison and D10
