Dear sordid-1: Thank you for the tips. When I get a block of time, I shall try your method out. It seems to me that I once attempted to extend the list of hyperlinks on my Profile Page, using HTML similar to what you have here, but I failed. Perhaps, I was just not careful enough. I shall follow your instructions and example very carefully this time.
Thank you again.

Macresarf,
Thanks for the gracious way you have accepted my criticism.
If you actually are interested in adding more hyperlinks to your profile page, it’s really rather a simple process, and I’ll give you a sample here for the format:
<a href=”url of the desired link”>TEXT YOU WANT DISPLAYED FOR THE LINK</a>
Thus, if you wanted to link your “best comedies” review, you would use this line of code:
<a href="http://www.epinions.com/mvie-review-594-8E7CA52-394192DC-prod6">My Autobiography in THE BEST COMEDIES EVER: Be Careful What You Laugh At! [Limited to my Lifetime.] </a>
Just follow that format and it’s a snap, hope that helps.

Thank you, cripper. Once I got the pattern down, the task went faster. I hope you will bookmark the page and come back to use this index more, as I continue to add URL's.
All the best.

WOAH!!!!!!! (Reply to this comment)

I thought my 140 review titles was excessive. You have written twice the number of reviews I have, and it must've taken you hours to get all your review titles into this one review!
Definitely a VH in my opinion.
Great review.

Dear Sordid -1: You make a point which I cannot debate. My intention was to create a reference work, not write a breathy novel of the absurd. I would no more ask you to read every entry than I would ask you to plow through Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. As I suggested, my hope was that you would dip into this review and find something of interest.
Your suggestion to add this list to my profile page is a good one. Alas, I have never figured out how to make hyperlinks. (The ones I do have were a gift from a colleague. I would like to add to them, but I don't know how.)
Anyway, I accept your criticism.
All the best.

I sympathize.... (Reply to this comment)

...with the difficulty of the task you undertook, working the titles of all your reviews seamlessly into a review - moreso for someone who has such a tremendous volume of titles (280! Yowza!)
However, creating a catalogue of your own reviews really didn't make for an interesting read, and would probably be better utilized on your profile page where the hyperlinks could be live.

Thanks, Alex.
The last 50 oddball reviews almost did me in... if I'd had 280 I'd never have finished!
It was a fun experience and I do hope that we've been able to help Emily.
Take care,
Pam

Dear vonboob: It didn't really take much imagination on my part, but when I add the URL's, perhaps you will revisit this list and make some practical use of it.
Thank you for being so generous.

Dear Pam: Forgive me for not noticing how many reviews you have written. My task here was not much more difficult than your own.
You have indeed done something splendid in organizing this Write-off for such a good cause.

Re: HOLY COW! (Reply to this comment)

Dear Laura: I had my doubts at times, especially yesterday when I found that Epinions rejected the piece. They thought a little squiggle I used to decorate my annotations was some kind of HTML. I had to change close to 100 of those at the last minute.
Thank you. I hope you will come back occasionally as I add the URL's.
All the best.

Well, Alex, I was wondering how you were going to get all those titles included.... it almost did me in with 215.
Thanks for being part of the write-off to help Emily.

This is simply staggering... it gets my VH if for nothing else but volume of the catalogue.
Best regards,
