Welcome to the first issue of the HTML Standard!
The HTML Standard is currently accepting submissions. While we regret that we cannot currently pay our authors, we hope that the opportunity to enhance our character set is sufficient incentive for anyone with an Outrageous Accent. Please send submissions to two-star, munizao@cyberhighway.net, with Acka: HTML in the subject line, and I will publish them at the earliest conveniet time.

We had planned to bring you coverage of the world tromino go championships and an exclusive look at the map to the Curious Clock of Uesticlox treasure in this issue. Unfortunately, our computer, which has been going through a bout of depression due to its impending obsolescence, somehow got confused and combined the two. In the hopes that someone may be able to extricate one from the other, we are publishing the computer's output.

Just as we were going to press, I accidentally spilled some ink on the strange computer output. I apologize if that inconveniences anybody.
