"HELP ASSIST LIST" (Printable version is now available)

Dave Siegel · August 11, 2007, 02:59:58 AM

The "Help Assist List" has presented a problem for some folks when they try to print it out. So I have created a PDF version that's available free.(Of Course)

Just e-mail me off board at: davesiegeldesigns@gmail.com

I will reply with a PDF attachment that can be easily viewed and/or printed.

This was an excellent suggestion by Hi-Yo-Silver. If anyone has any other ideas about the Help Assist List please let me know. I'll do what I can.

Thanks again for all the work you've put into it

Dave,

Thanks for your efforts. I kept forgetting to add to your list.
That's been taken care of. (I hope)

YYEESS!!
Thanks, Dave. Worked like magic! The list is an important asset to our group. On a related note, I've said it before, and so have several others; I wish everybody would put a clue as to their location and what they drive on their profile. Thanks again.

Aw Shucks, you're welcome. I also have created two versions. The PDF version and also a Word document version. A lot of people may not have the Microsoft Word program and they should print out the PDF version. Either one. Until I figure out how to put it, as a downloadable link, on my website just email me and I will replay with the list as an attachment. My worry, having it as a downloadable link on the website is that someone off the board might harvest all the information in there and use it to their advantage.

Are there any web gurus out there that might be able to tell me how to hide it on my site, so just board users can get to it?

Hi Dave,

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX">

Place the above line on your Help_assist_data_base.html page between the <head> and </head> tags and robots will no longer index any info from that page.

Then go into your file transfer programme and put the page behind a password protected spot on the server - you should have secure pages available to you. Make up an easy password and email it to anyone who asks for it or publish the word elsewhere on the web site. Looks like the only place you can do that is on your home page. Perhaps make the password a graphic element rather than just text (so robots don't see it) and change it every month or two.

That's probably as simple a way to do it. Still not 100% safe, but safer than the current wide open, indexable page.

If any of this is not understood, please feel free to email me.

The question I have is should I leave it as is on the Help page. It seems like anyone could get it there, even if it is too large to print.

P.S And thanks I@N for visiting us and sharing your wisdom.

Dave,

As a thought....Post the list and info as an image file (jpg,bmp, etc) then it becomes very hard
to pull the text off and use it for non appropriate porposes.

Currently I can highlight the text, paste it into wordpad as a rtf then import it into a spreadsheet.
Not really something you would want an appropriate none bus use situation.
Then for actual text for someone to e-mail to you (though more work on your part)
would suffice

There are a ton of ways to skin a cat it's just what works for you.

Dave,

To expand on Skipn's idea, you could always set up an auto responder for an email address that you choose. have the auto responder send the PDF or DOC as an attachment.

The email address could be posted as a PNG or JPG or even a bitmap file so that human eyes could read it, but 'bots and spiders couldn't.

Just a thought
