Technical Articles on AULRO

[p38arover]

I suppose I should raise this with Inc. first but I wonder if it is time to have a tech section on AULRO.COM - I don't mean a tech forum but a place where tech articles can be placed so that we don't have to search the forum for them.

Three examples come to mind:


Blknight.aus article on repairing hydraulic jacks
Converting greased wheel bearings to oil-fed
Langy's article changing from Disco ZRotoflex coupling to a conventional UJI'm sure there are more.

i thought we had a projects or tutorials section (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/forumdisplay.php?f=126) ?

i am in the process of setting up a better files area that may be usefull for putting pdf's of tutorials in if that is more towrds what you are wanting?

Yes, I had looked at that. I was thinking more like, as you say, a diles area. Or even something where I could, say, write a page like I have done on www.rangerovers.net (http://www.rangerovers.net), e.g., http://www.rangerovers.net/repairdetails/lcdlights.html

or

http://www.rangerovers.net/repairdetails/electrical/fusebox.html

One big advantage of the Projects and Tutorials section is that people can easliy comment on a procedure. Maybe one could link from there to the pages written in HTML.

The big disadvantage of HTML is that it take a lot more work and not everyone can do it.

Another option is the files section. if they are turned into a PDF, or a word file that can be converted or put in a zip file, we could have such an area. the newsletter was where a lot of those articles went (which reminds me, i'm still having trouble uploading them).

I could certainly clip down the tech articles from the newsletters past to just the technical article to upload.

html ...... hard yakka and varible output.

pdf ..... you can control the final output on all platforms.
