Yet another index

[Harold Hall 1Participant @haroldhall1]

Having written for the magazine over many years I have found
it necessary to keep an index for the magazine, essentially 
for my own articles but have of course added them all. I 
have therefore thought that it may be of help to others and 
have added it onto the web, the address being
www.homews-mew-index.co.uk

Whilst it contains all the articles,  letters, trade items
and tips are not included, search facilities are also not
included except by using googles site search, assuming
google eventually searches the whole site, it runs to 60
pages. No additional programs are required. 

The index therefore only complements other indexes such as
that at www.cahw.co.uk

Its main strength is it is divided into 168 areas so that it
is possible to view all records on a given subject together,
ideal for the viewer who has an interest in a particular 
subject. 

Even so, if the issue of a known article is being sought, 
knowing the subject matter it should come up with the 
details required. 

Also, typically, where an article is explaining how to 
machine cast iron using a Vee block as the subject, it is
listed twice.

Hi Harold,

I found that the links did not work.

This is what I think they should be.

Hi Harold,

 

I can’t get them to work:

 

Perhaps they are here and here.

 

These seem to work now

 

Best regards

Thanks Les and Terry, it shows one is never too old to learn.

 

When typing a web address into my browsers I never add the forward slash,Explorer and Firefox add it automatically and Opera finds the site but does not display it.

 

Must do better

Hi Harold,

The problem was not the forward slash. the URL’s had been appended to the model engineers URL This is what the links actually looked like.

If you right click on your links and select ” Copy link location” then paste it into notepad etc

you can see the URL that is hidden behind the text.

Thanks Les

 

I see that http:// needs to be included

 

We get there in the end.

Hi Harold,

Most browsers work without the http:// even though it is good practice to have it before the www. What you typed in the title field when you were inserting the link should have worked if that had been entered into the URL field but the URL field contained the model engineers URL followed by the one you intended to insert. If the text either of us put as the title was typed into a browser it would have worked but clicking on the link uses what was put in the URL field. It does not matter what is in the title. Terryd used the text “here” in the title field but he had the correct URL in the URL field so clicking on “here” takes you to the right place. I think something must have gone wrong when you pasted the URL into the URL field.

Les.

Great index! Incredibly useful for a beginner.

 

I wish your index was included on the main model-engineer site with a direct link to the digital issues (for subscribers). That would be absolutely perfect…
