You will always be able to visit the HowTune site directly, it's backed up routinely and the pictures will never be lost. This was a main focus to make sure this info is never lost when we began this project.

Why is there no attribution to the author for those articles? Somebody wrote them. They didn't just appear out of thin air.

Author info is located at the bottom of each article, along with any sort of links going out to info obtained from websites or mentions of who contributed. Some of these articles were written by Ian or myself spanning over 10-15 years now when we used to do stuff for SyTyArchives.com. The heater core article has a pic of me before I was even married :rotf:


Just to throw it out there, anyone can sign up on HowTune and write articles. In fact, I urge everyone to do so and see more posts of people throwing up article links. If you need help, I am more than happy to assist and guide in how to get it done. We've set it up so its templated and very user friendly, but very open for suggestions to improve.

Re: HowTune SyTy Articles

@Dave (and any one else who wants to weigh in) - the page breaks are set at 10 articles now. If that's too small - what do you think is a good default size? 20, 30, 50?
