I know that the Atlas F1 forum isn't the 'IN' place to post, but I've got to point out the following ideas that were posted in this forum

1. Feb 27th I asked for a front page article telling us more about Atlas F1. This week we got it.

2. On Mar 14th I babbled on about the need for Atlas T-shirts, now I find out that they are being developed. To be fair, SalutGilles 1 posted this in Readers Comments so I shouldn't be taking any of the credit.

still it makes me think, someone must be reading the posts that show up here ...hmmm what do I wish for next?

mmm, it´s a conspiracy....

[Spring-Heeled Jim]

Hey...this is the forum that all the die-hard F1 fans check out first...what? It isn't? Really? Oh, OK then....

[Brent]

Yep FordPrefect, your wish was granted

Great article Paul, cheers. Sure sounds like alot of hard work from alot of ppl went and still goes into a site such as this. Understatement huh ;)

[Alfisti]

I have my own site which is biggish for a one man show but 100 times smaller than Atlas and it is a LOT of work.... more than you could ever imagine. Especially creating easy ways to navigate the site.

Ps... everyone is free to take a look at my site.... just click on my profile guys.

[FordPrefect]

Alfisti, I just made a short visit to your site, it is very good. I couldn't believe the burnout page, I never would have believed it went on 'over there'

Is it really a lot of work? I'd like to set up my own home page when I get my new modem, but I always feel like I don't have enough time.

All the Best FP

Hard work but fun and rewarding. I've created far too many sites in my time! Counting off the top of my head I can think of about 10 sites of mine that are currently floating around the web [some get updates, others don't!] You can find one of them linked in my sig

[MrAerodynamicist]

Wonders what Sally would like adding to the Atlasf1 members site?

my guess would be the following.

• Movie Review Forum - members give their reviews of movies, could be informative, certainly would be funny. Might make this a topic in the Paddock Klub.
  
  
• Model Builders Forum - THE place to be for people who are interested in building, buying or just plain talking about scale model F1 cars.
  
  
• Atlas F1 Dating Service - this is where you find out that the gorl of your dreams is actually a retired steelworker from Newcastle-on-Trout. In my case I know that will NOT be true
  

if any of these come to pass I shall demand to be elected to the Atlas Bored of Directors, complete with their six figure salary.

All the Best FP

...did the bullets work out ok?
...maybe I should repost this in the PK

forgot the last /list

FordP,

like it says on the site, the burnout pics are not great, they are much bigger than that but i was down low and couldn't get the best shots.

I found it a LOT of work because Geocities stuffs up a lot (freezing and not saving) which gets EXTREMELY ANNOYING

Also, figuring out the layout of the site, where certain info belongs, what pics to use where and mostly how to design a good navigation and internal link system is a nightmare because you have to have all that stuff in mind before you start or you will be going down the wrong path and will have to start again. As i said.. at 40 odd pages mine is fairly large but if your going to do it you have to make it look pretty slick and i think mine has come up ok but i'd guess it took between 300 to 400 hours to complete.

I am not a fan of tiny annoying amature opages that clog the web and search engines.

Get back to me with any feedback on the site.. i am very curious what people think of certain sections etc etc.

[theMot]

yeah its good **** Alfisti. My site is bigger though. It gets about 4000 hits a day.

[FordPrefect]

don't you mean 4000 'tits a day'?

[Alfisti]

Geeesh Mot.. they're some serious hooters. I'm a B-cup man myself so your site does not interest me i am afraid.

Ford,

did you checkout the little Mazda Rotary on the Dyno on my site. Yes that is 418Hp at the REAR WHEELS at a measly 15psi.
