Happy Holidays all.

[LocomotiveBreath]

Dave here freezing my butt off out in the middle of the Mohave Desert.

First, I'd like to wish everyone and thier families the best of Holidays and Happy New Year.

Second, I'd like to thank the fine people that make Dieselbike.net and this forum possible.

Third, thanks to all of you for thinking out of the box, and being ahead of the curve, I think Dr. Diesel would be proud of all of us. I'd like to shake his hand, also a big hug! Just a note, my date of birth is exactly 41 years to the day of his untimely death. Sept. 29, "Dr. Diesel, you did good, two thumbs up!"

Forth, I just aquiered a couple of Domain names and would like to start a State side Diesel bike web site.

They are as follows:

http://dieselbiker.com/

http://www.dieselchopper.com/

http://www.dieselrider.com/

I can take almost anything mechanical apart and back together in my sleep. Building a web site, I'm rather lost. Any help or input would be nice.

Again, Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas Dave.
On the subject of websites I have recently started using Macromedia Dreamweaver MX which is not the newest version but is still pretty good. I upload with WS_FTP95 but have used SmartFTP which is more powerful but more confusing!
I would suggest hiding that email address you've put up before the spambots get hold of it.
Seeing what you've done already I reckon you know the basics. If you have any specific probs let me know.

Thank you,

You think I should pull my e-mail from my start-up pages?

I rekon you should attempt to hide it somehow as I have done on my email page at the bottom of my frontpage. There is a link there to this guys site which helps you encrypt it. Otherwise you'll get loads of junk email.

I just looked at the code of one page and tried to add that email protector for you. It didn't work. Must be because the page is pretty heavy on code (html under the hood). Maybe because of the tool you are using to create them.
Good method to protect email is to write it on a picture and post that. Maybe you could try that?
Spam is a real problem and will make your daily mail checks get ever more tiresome.

Hope that helps.

If you use a menu system as I have on my website
www.dieselbiker.co.uk
the email address is in the java script file and not on the webpage.

I have not had one bit of junk mail from my website, unlike my other email addresses.


You can go to http://www.xara.com/downloads/menumaker

And download the free 15 day demo software, or buy the full program. If not you have 15 days to make your menu system before the timer runs out on the demo software.
Your menu system will only partially work (only some of the buttons) as it’s from a demo program, but as I'm ok with scripting I re write the script.

The script is on a file that accompanies your webpage, which is good as too much java (the red stuff) on your webpage can have some bad effects.

Hope this has helped.

ps if you have trouble with scripting I will have a bash at it for you.
