I sort of started making a website about building computers. How to build them, more specifically. Most of you people have more knowledge than me, so any of you want to help me out with writing it? So far I've managed to write some stuff about choosing a CPU. The site is mainly aimed at beginners. I am using moonfruit, and the address is www.buildapc.moonfruit.com. I would really appreciate it. Also, sorry if I put this in the wrong forum; I couldn't really think where else to put it.

P.S. It's all for free
At the moment.

Exists Already

We can create another though, but I doubt anything can beat this.

DAMN - that's good. Feel like creating one for the hell of it? I've done the motherboard section.

PM it to me, I'll try to learn your standards.

PM what to you? Link's in first post.

Okay, I'll try to help.

FOA, the size of the pages is too small, anyway of making it larger? (I suck at html)

Thanks
It's not HTML though, which is why I chose it. Moonfruit is a Flash based website designing program that runs in your browser. I have made one of the pages bigger, but I am going to move the CPU, Motherboard etc. articles to separate pages because the page with all of them on is way too big. Do you have MSN or something so we can chat better? PM me if you do.

okay, I'll PM something to ya.

i would suggest building on what we have in the forum. every now and then i start on rewriting that thread, but then something comes up, or i take a quick look through what i have and scrap the whole damn thing. i suggest you guys pick some parts of the thread, write up that section, pass it through eachother until you guys agree on the content, then once everything has been written, put it all together and add the markup, and pm it to slayer. that way, the forum will have an updated thread, and im sure many people would appreciate it.

i like this.

if you guys like, you can start on making the content, and once youre done, i can help out with markup and giving it a run over.

Sounds good. I might work on the website anyway, but I'll give it a go. What's markup, by the way?

the stuff used to make your posts on neoseeker do stuff like this, this

















and this

Ah I see. What is there that you think needs adding anyway?

well other than the simple things like bold, italics, underlines, links, and headings, youll want some internal links like the ones i made in the previous post. these will come in handy for the contents section and allowing readers an easy way of getting back to the top of the page. youll probably want to make some lists as well, so there is a markup code for doing them, then some images, though theyre simple enough, and also, i suggest some videos on the harder to do things like applying thermal paste (many people seem to have problems, or do it wrong), and proper cable management. there are a few more examples, but im sure you understand what i mean now.

EDIT: here you go, i got a contents list you can work on. pick a section and type away:
