How to Use the Questions & Answers page of the TWWWG.com web site:

First you need to REGISTER! The Registration process is a one-time evolution and some of the blocks are mandatory. Remember your Logon Name and Password that you put in the blocks during the REGISTRATION process.

Then use your Logon Name and Password to Login to the Q&A Forum. If you forget your password (or your name), send me an e-mail (Ebunker369@aol.com) and I'll retrieve it for you. I'll send it to you in an e-mail or I'll call you on the phone.

After logging in, you are free to navigate the page. Your name and your available links are located at the top and bottom of the page. They include "Control Panel" | "Subscriptions" | "Logout".

The "Control Panel" gives you the REGISTRATION form giving you the opportunity to make some changes. Within the "signature" and "bio" blocks, you can put what you want in these blocks … I used "All the best, ED" in my signature block. Then in the Bio block you may put a little something about yourself to share with those other members … like your years of experience sharpening jointer knives, or your qualifications in holystoning a teakwood deck on the USS Boston CAG-1, or that you were a deck hand on Noah's Ark. Something like that.

The "Subscriptions" link will show you a listing of the "Topics" and "Questions" you want to keep track of. If you want to "Subscribe" to a particular topic, click on the "Subscribe to this Category" to the far right of the Topic for which you want to subscribe. Once you click on this, you will be notified via e-mail that there has been an answer posted to this topic area, letting you know that you might want to check the web page to look for the comment or answer to the posted question.

And of course the "Logout" link exits you from the forum.

In the TWWWG Forum there are currently three topics; "About this Forum", "General", and "About the Club TWWWG". Under these main topics, there are subtopics. For example, under the "General" Topic, there is a subtopic called "Wood". Clicking on the link "Wood" will take you to the posted questions. I've got something silly in there for now as examples for getting familiar with the process. I'll remove the silly stuff later when you get familiar with the process. You can click on the posted question and see the reply as well as who posted the reply to the question. You may post your own reply to the question by clicking on the "Post Reply" link at the lower right of this page.

Lets suppose you wanted to start a New Discussion under the "General" topic and in the "Wood" sub-topic. You would click on "General", then "Wood" and then on the right side of the page, click "Post New Discussion". This will open up a form for you to ask the question. Fill out the blocks and click on "Submit" at the lower left of the form. That's it in a nutshell. Give it a go! You have nothing to loose. Just keep it clean.

Now for the posting of Projects:

Since Bret Lancaster and I are neighbors, we took some pictures and had them posted on the "Projects" page. It was just a rough page to show something there as we develop this page. We have some work to do here as we move on. To post a picture of a project on this page, we'll need the following:

The picture...
Digital is fastest however if you have just a photograph, get it to me and I'll scan it into a digital version. We are not into the 2 MB photos that take up a tremendous amount of web space. 30-50 KB is the recommended size and the quality is quite acceptable. JPEG and GIF are quite conservative formats.

A short caption for the photo sometimes helps the viewer.

Items for Sale & Items Wanted:

This is an easy one. Just follow the format on the page for "Items for Sale" and or "Items Wanted" and E-mail (Ebunker369@aol.com) your entries to me and I'll get them on the Web page for you. Just let me know when you want your item removed from the page … like after it has sold.

Note: Make sure that TWWWG is in the Subject line of your E-mail(s) to me. I get a lot of "junk" mail that I do not open and wouldn't want to miss something from you.

OK, That is a lot for one sitting. Do take care and All the Best, Ed Bunker
