Vault reorganized


Scott Slater
 

I have reorganized the folders in the vault section. Since there were
quite a few files uploaded there, I thought that it would be nicer to
have more organization. Inside of the Articles, News, and Reviews
folder, there are now 3 separate folders; Machine Reviews, News, and
Technical Information. When uploading files in the future, please
upload to the appropriate folder.

I also converted the .DOC files to HTML. Some of text files that were
uploaded did not contain line breaks, and were difficult to read. HTML
seems to be the best format for the files. To convert the DOC files, I
used Microsoft Word, and exported (saved) the file as a web page. It is
very easy to do, and keeps the formatting of the original document. If
you have any questions feel free to email me.

Scott - Thanks for taking the time to help organize the Vault... the
Articles section was getting pretty jumbled together, especially with
all the varying file formats.

I agree, HTML is an excellent format to upload artices with, and is
even better than plain text since formatting is preserved and words
reliably wrap. As you suggest, most modern word processors can Export
or Save As HTML/Web format.

Another alternative is to learn the rudimentaries of HTML and write
articles in a plain text editor such as Windows Notepad or MacOS's
SimpleText. That is what I ususally do, but then I'm a software
developer by day and sometimes like doing things the "old" way! ;-) I
guess doing it that way is like using hand tools, but as is often said,
I get more control over the final results (can't vouch for "connecting
with" the bits and bytes though).

I'm very pleased with how our new forum is going! Many thanks to
everyone involved!
