Excellent! Thanks for the links. 

So did you want to do a formal writeup or are you too busy? If your too busy I completely understand. I haven't even had a chance to get on the forum in over a week. 

Instead of a formal writeup I could add it to the home page with a reference to the forum post (I've done that with my last few posts to the home page). Let me know if you'd prefer that I do it that way instead of having you write it up.

NOTE: I work full time and I'm attending college full time as well. So if it takes me a few days to respond, please don't take it personally. If it's urgent please send me a Private Message.

I'll try to do some formal write-up, I don't get motivated that easily. But tomorrow I have the day off so I will have a good go.

What format does it take?

Stand back.

I've changed your status from a member to a contributor, so now you can write posts from within the Dashboard that I can publish directly to the home page. It's similar to writing them in the forum, but there are some slight differences. I made a video showing the process so I'll send you the link in a PM. 

It's important you don't try to create your writeup in Word or some other word processing program because things get messed up when you try to paste the content into the website. The good news is that the Dashboard automatically saves your work every few minutes, and it's not too flakey so you shouldn't ever lose your post like you sometimes can on the forum. 

I'll send you the PM with the details next.
