Hi Again All,
Well, I have secured a domain and web hosting site, so I have begun to restore my personal web site, which is where I stored all the pictures in all my past posts on this forum. It has taken a bit of time & effort to establish the FTP connection and set up the paths. Unfortunately, the latest backup I have found thus far is a couple of years older than my later postings, so I may have to retake pictures if I do not find a later backup. I also have to edit all my previous posts (more than 350, but not all had pictures) with the new path to where the pictures are, so it is a slow process, but eventually my posts ought to show the pics again. I think most of the off-topic posts are working now (R/C Planes and my VW Bus rebuild, mainly). Oh, and I now you can see my AVATAR again... lol
So, some of you are asking why bother (editing hundreds of post - one at a time), especially since the traffic on this board has definitely declined the last few years and I have only secured the domain & hosting for 3 years. I guess I am just kinda anal that way, incomplete things bother me and maybe some of my efforts will help a newbie or two in the next few years.
I can now also posts pics of the modifications I have made in recent months. Not big things (well other than a new engine), but definitely some refinements. In the mean time,
Best Regards,
Steven
