Keith Browning Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I have evasively mentioned here in the DTS forums that I was developing a new web site. Well, I have just about completed development and the web site is live and functioning. I need to finish some email templates and test them leaving the final color choices and logo to be finalized... but I am letting it rip anyway! DieselMentor.com Diesel Mentor , "A Diesel Powered Guide To The Internet" is a web site link directory where web site owners can create an account and add their diesel/truck related web site to the directory. The directory itself as it grow larger will be a great place to surf diesel related links. There are quite a few categories that make up the directory and some will be broken down into sub-categories as needed. I did this in place of having a "Links" page here on the Diesel Technician Society web site but as I looked at it I decided it could do well on it's own. A links page is limited but a Directory becomes a valuable resource. I will however tie it into the DTS web site. I invite you check it out and look forward to your comments. Negative feedback and suggestions are welcome - please don't be bashful or afraid I will be insulted. I need honest opinions. Some of you are owners or administrators of a diesel web site that is most likely already listed. You do not need to do anything to enjoy the benefits of being listed, it is a free directory. If you want to be able to delete /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/surprise.gif (I couldn't imagine why) modify or protect your listing, I recommend that you sign up and activate an account and request that the administrator change the link ownership from the site administrator to you. I hope that you find the directory useful and that it grows into something great. Thank you for your continued support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveS Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Pretty cool, Keith! I can see that it will become a great resource; an extention of my Favorites folder. You even have Banks listed, no censorship! Will you have a repair facility catagory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Quote: Will you have a repair facility category? The possibilities are unlimited. It really comes down to how popular this kind of thing becomes. There is so much CRAP out there on the Internet that using search engines is sometimes a complete waste of time. The key is to not try to be everything. I came up with the first 100 "top level" links and I am still finding more. More categories will eventually be added and each category can be split up into sub-categories. If I see a very large interest in creating a repair facility category, I don't see why not but I would have to set it up by state.I would like to see on line retailers on the site but I want THEM to find me and sign up. Heck, while I am at it, why not a category for dealers? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shrug.gif Alright! Let me finish up with my art designer and finish the logo design first!
