Poll, which domain name do you like?

[KEVINS]

Here’s what I am trying to do. Create a data base web site that people can upload their own tech articles (How To articles) to the site that only they can modify and I would have categories for these articles (motorcycles, cars, trucks, etc).
I need a domain name and all the good ones are taken so here are some that aren't:

I like Garage chat as it has something to do with all vehicles. Kinda catchy...

The reason for this venture is b/c I'm tired of the search engines these days listing more advertising crap than what I'm searching for. Also, there isn't that many tech/how-to articles on the web so I want to create a single data base that people can write their own articles and people can search for it. A lot of BB's will have specific information for a certain vehicle but even finding the right BB is a pita. Hopefully when I get this done people will be willing to write articles on the site so info isn't so scattered.

Common people don't be shy about voting, just be honest about what you like..

TIA

i vote garage-chat also.. i like that the best of what is listed.

i think there is a DIY database done by popular mechanics but its very lacking.

key with this one is to get the word out to many message boards.

i just finished a write-up for yamaha banshees, if that would fit into your website...

YES, your Banshee info is exactly what I am looking for! I agree about getting the people on BB's involved in spreading the news.

Yea, I'm hoping that I can keep the data storage simple enough where it should be easy to search for articles. But building this type of site is all new to me so it could get "fun"..

I just registered all of those names. $1000 for the one you choose.








Just kidding! I liked the skinned knuckles one the best. Think everyone can relate to that.:smile:

Update:

Well, the site is up and "functioning". I have a long way to go with the layout, colors and ease of use but it's been a beotch of a program to use since I don't know php and it required a lot of re-programming to get it where it is now.
I have a loooong way to go but I hope it's on the downhill slope.. Submitting an article is kinda confusing IMO and I hope to make it easier in the near future. Feel free to submit stuff if you want. There is only one article that I submitted and several "test" articles up there.

garage-chat.com - Home... I musta got this name before IT was taken

EDIT: i cant figure out how to submit...

First you will have to log-in with user name, etc. Then if you go to submit article you should come to an editor page that you can type your info in. Once you type it in just save it. I have to go in and "publish it" before you can view it in the catagory-something I hope to change. I also think you can view it if you Search for it b4 I publsih it.. This part is still confusing, IMO, so I hope to simplify it..

Try it now.
Apparently I have to switch you to a "Author" before you can submit.. See if this works for you. I am experimenting on my own with a different name, too.
Something else I need to fix...

Edit: yep, that worked for me.
When submitting an article for now it's much easier to write it in WORD then copy/paste it into the editor. I don't care for the one that comes with the site.

OK, i clicked the "apply" check mark after inserting all the text and dont know where it went. also when i did that, it logged me out

also, if i might make a suggestion, maybe switch the front page from 'hopping up your Banshee" to something like "hopping up your ATV/dirtbike"
