Hi David.
Good tips. I realized after starting this that it might take more time
than originally thought, so I'll do what I can.
I will "label" each link with either title of each sites
"welcome/home" page or with what makes sense to me. Not sure if search
funtion provided on googlepages creator/publisher software, but that
would help. Grouping them? Maybe over time. I can't password it, as
that's my password to my Gmail, so no there won't be a Wiki
equivelant. I wanted to leave it open to public, but that's a big can
of worms. As it stands, I've made it clear that the site is
unmoderated, but I'll "TRY" to view content I post links to.
As it stands, and more of less by accident, it has a CL or Wiki look
which makes sense to me. I wanted simple because it's easier to read,
and may be of initial use to those with PDA's/smart phones on the road
looking for help via info. (like they don't needs no stinkings dancing
GIF's or Flash crap) Maybe labelling sites that have mostly text would
be useful too.
I like the idea that "vanagonlinks" is easy to remember. i.e. One can
simply type in;
vanagonlinks.googlepages.com
A recent google search gave me 2 hits. Alistair Bells' page which has
quite a few good links. (he also sent me the link for me to get links
from) and GoWesty. But that's it.
Hopefully this site will get some action and get trolled and listed
with google or whatever. This may make it easier for newbies or
whoever to find what they need.
Neil.
