BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: If you want to get more on that Democratic National Convention and Election 2000 for that matter, log onto our Web page.

And my colleague, Leon Harris, with us once again, checking things out at CNN Interactive.

Hey, Leon.

LEON HARRIS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hi, Bill, good morning.

Well, as you just heard Beth and Daryn talking about the message from the convention last night. Well, there's no short of messages -- no shortage, rather, of messages here on our Web site this morning. Just check out and go to our main page here. You'll see here this one section on the right that's got all the news from the Democratic convention. We've got live video feeds coming from there, all sorts of things.

But check out the one area that we've got that's labeled "chat now." This is where we've been getting a lot of messages about and from the Democratic National Convention. As you can see here, this is a chat right now that's under way. It's kind of an unformatted free- for-all right now that's going on. But if you want to check out later on throughout the day, look under the place where we've got our schedules.

We've got a schedule today of different people that are going to be coming onboard here. For instance, get this: 4:00 p.m., Joe Piscopo is going to be participating in a chat here on the CNN Web page. Donna Shalala is also going to be participating. Andrew Cuomo, Secretary Andrew Cuomo is going to be on there as well. So we've got a lot of people that are going to be participating from the site of the convention. So there should be lots of good stuff to talk about.

Now if you want to catch-up on something that you might have missed already, check out "chat transcripts" on this particular window. And here you can pick through whichever one you want to see. Guests that -- Jimmy Carter was on last night. Whoops, think I lost that one. But anyway, we've got all that. Here we go, back on this field. Getting back to the transcripts, you can take a look at the different names of people that we've had here: Stuart Rothenberg, Mary Matalin, Jeff Greenfield. Cynthia Tucker, Frank Newport. our friend from the Gallup Poll. Lots of different choices for folks to talk to throughout on this particular Web page.

Now, we've also got another page, message boards where we'd like you to go ahead and check out -- take an opportunity there to log on with your different comments from the convention under way in Los Angeles. Plenty of things there to participate in on the Web page at CNN.com.

HEMMER: You betcha, remember, Ted Nugent was doing that online chat in Philadelphia.

HARRIS: I missed that one.

HEMMER: We've got all kinds.

HARRIS: All right.

HEMMER: Thank you, Leon.
