Hurrah!!!
Taz & I have spent the last three days buggering about with the write-up for Mouse's Fordson van.
Although I own the website, all I've been able to do up till now is post here in the forum & add events photo galleries. After a visit to Yoda Mansions in Brummingham last week, Taz & I now have the capability to add words to the photo galleries & create vehicle write ups. "Capability" being lots of scraps of paper with vague instructions jotted on them.
Many, many thanks to Mr Yodles for being so patient & putting up with panicky phone calls when we pressed the wrong buttons -he'd explain it again, I'd look blankly at the phone, pass it to Tanya, she'd listen to the instructions, then relay it very slowly to me.
So go have a look.

Our first write up

Maybe nothing stunningly clever to you, but this is a huge leap forward for us humble Monkeys. We made our own banner heading & everything. All our own work. Apart from the car of course, which was kindly built by Mr Mouse, just for us to practice with.
With a little more work, this'll hopefully speed up the addition of new features to the site as we can do them as soon as they come in & the much overworked Mr Yodles can take on more of a caretaker/trouble shooter role.
So send in more write-ups people -we need the practice. Grin

The lay out's just a variation of previous ones created by Yoda, but still confusing to us to set up. It'll get easier with practice. I hope. In future we'll make the enlarged photos a bit bigger. Cool huh.

Thank you Yoda. We are just as suprised but we were determined to get it done and done right. One of the 3 or so days was taken up with just doing the banner bit and it was a sheer fluke. God knows how we will do it again.

I'm a big fan of the race inspired single seat look, but I just have one nagging doubt about this installation
