    ^^^ Good tips.... Also, if you haven't gotten into CSS heavily yet, you should. You can accomplish so many things. You always want to design your site to be friendly to a wide array of browsers/technologies. Many people don't like/have flash. Javascript does not function properly on...

    The MkIII Photo Dictionary! Lets do it

    I agree the TSRM is helpful, I did not mean to discount it's usefulness. In fact, I bought a hard-copy of it. It is the only thing that made me confident enough to work on the car myself. That said, I do find the supplementary information here at SM a necessary supplement and I do wish that...

    The MkIII Photo Dictionary! Lets do it

    It seems like the biggest challenge for this is getting the content together. So, if there are enough people to collaborate on the 1j or 2j, go for it. Webspace isn't going to be an issue, and if people are sending me the appropriate pictures and text, it shouldn't take a ton of time to add...

    The MkIII Photo Dictionary! Lets do it

    I have plenty of webspace I would be happy to donate. I can also do any of the web design/programming needed. This would be a great tool - (for me especially, lol). The TSRM has some glaring weaknesses, especially the illustrations. I can start building the site, just need to have pics and...

    dugums build - need a ton of help!!!

    I wanted to keep the intro separate from my questions (b/c it's a bit long-winded), so here's what I got done today: Drained and removed radiator. Removed alternator, 3000 pipe, intake, battery, t-belt cover, and other odds and ends. Even though not part of the HG job, I went ahead and...

    dugums build - need a ton of help!!!

    So far, I have been overwhelmed by the knowledge and encouragement I have gotten on this site. I thank all of you that post helpful responses and also those who keep this site running. Unfortunately, you have convinced me that I would be missing too great a learning opportunity to pay a shop...

    Changing Last Name with Marriage

    You should only ask yourself if you are alright with it. Why even hyphenate? She can keep her name and you yours. I find nothing wrong with it. If you plan on having kids, might as well establish how that's going to go down now.

    Is that because he is hard to get a hold of? Or because of something else?

    I sent him an email this morning - I'll let you know if he gets back to me. Are you wondering how long the backorder is for the DDP?

    Get a connection speed emulator. There are some decent freeware versions (just google "connection speed simulation" or "connection speed emulation" to get some results). I used to know a way to do w/o software, but I can't remember right now. Beware though, you'll want to check it out...

    Please critique my website

    I have no doubt you could make a living just based on your ability to do something like this in flash. I am a programmer, but I do a little web design on the side. Most of my sites have been relatively simple, just HTML and javascript and, in some cases, ASP.net if it was a more advanced...

    Great exercise in flash. Unfortunately, there seem to be a lot of people who have developed a distaste for flash:dunno: :dunno: It has surprised me quite a bit, as most of my recent customers have been requesting flash-free (even javascript light/free in some cases). I don't necessarily mind...

    tinted brake lights and turn lights

    Quick chops: I will be doing mine next week (with a twist), so I can let you know how it really looks on a black car:

    Firefox help

    Do you use an automated registry editor??? You should be able to fix it by re-linking the one with the wrong favicon.

    Avoiding Software Piracy (free, legal photoshop emulator)

    I don't think The Gimp is just a beginners tool; there are a ton of plug-ins, including one that creates a GUI that emulates PS. As far as functionality, there are some differences; but the Gimp isn't really lacking in any way. The main place where PS shines is the availability of...

    Avoiding Software Piracy (free, legal photoshop emulator)

    This was a response to a recent post requesting info on how to get free photoshop. Software piracy is not cool, so: If you want to get a LEGAL program that does not pose the virus risks that torrent does, get THE GIMP from download.com. It does about 90% of what Photoshop does out of the...

    Back seat subs

    I agree with the post above - choose quality over quantity. You would be surprised how easy it is to get nice, full bass in the car. You mentioned you wanted crisp, clear bass. A high quality 10" is going to do a lot for you if you have it in the proper size ported box. This will be...
