[ATTN] All new users, a few tips

[Dave III]

Regarding newbies and such, is there a webpage template for people who are terminally un-HTML-ified? I can crank up MS Frontpage, and that's about the limit of my web coding sk1llz. ^_^<P>I found something I'd downloaded a while ago from Nukees' Darren Bleuel, AutoKeen Lite v0.923 Beta, but I was kinda hoping for something a skoasch more newbie freindly... Looking though the Gear site, I see all kinds of coding samples, but (lazy me) it'd still be easier if it could come pre-packaged.<P>Dave III

[Shiftybob]

nifty, I can see gear is going to be quite handy... why isn't this linked to from anywhere else.<P>------------------

Thanks, and I suppose I should do something about that; I'll whip up a Newsbox entry and put link in my sig once I figure out what to say (blasted one-sentence writers block).<P>------------------

This board is being flooded with cries for help from many new users to Keenspace, and I felt that it would help if I would point out a few helpful links.<P>http;//gear.keenspace.com - The Gear<P>This is a MUST to bookmark. Here you'll find a wealth of information at your disposal, and many of your questions will be answered here. The next two links are found here, but they are especially important...
<A HREF="http://gear.keenspace.com/faq.html" TARGET=_blank>http://gear.keenspace.com/faq.html</A> - FAQ<P>Please, you MUST read this. I just went through it now and I found info that I hadn't seen yet. Here you'll find a link to request a new password sent to your e-mail (although I wouldn't completely trust this, you will still prolly have to e-mail help@keenspace.com).
<A HREF="http://www.keenspace.com/members/taglossary.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.keenspace.com/members/taglossary.html</A> - ***TAG*** Glossary<P>Good lord, print this out right now! It's got the complete list of ***tags***. Most important, it is.<P>A few more pointers:<P>* Some people say their new account is forbidden to see their logs. Well, since the account is new, perhaps it hasn't a log yet? I don't know for sure, but I think it only compiles like ever so often. So, most likely a log hasn't been created for you yet.<P>* Please, PLEASE, when you post your problem here, you MUST link us to your site. Otherwise, how will anyone know what's wrong with it? <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>* (Mentioned in FAQ, but deserves to be repeated.) Keenspace is case-sensitive. Double-check all your tags to make sure they are like the ones in the Taglossary.<P>* You must use "ftp://USERNAME.keenspace.com" to upload, and do not use a web browser as an FTP program.<P>* I guess that's all I can think of now. If anyone else can think of something I forgot, please reply. Aeire has a great tutorial that I saved to HD, but I can't find the actual link...<P>------------------

I've put in a request to have that sort of info (at least a link to the <a href=http://gear.keenspace.com>Gear</a> and the necessity of their username) actually on this forum.<P>One page I do want to mention is <a href=http://gear.keenspace.com/newbie.html title=gear.keenspace.com/newbie.html>RedWolf's "AIIEEEE I'm new at this" Keenspace-howto</a> - it covers the things most newbies (and some who've been here a while too) need to know.<P>------------------

Exactly. What we need is an official one-stop source. I don't think the Gear is publicized enough; I stumbled unto it by luck.<P>------------------

When we're able to create sticky-posts we need to all get together and create a forum FAQ.
