Default The Detailing Hand Book is moving!

Hello fellow wash & wax wackos!!!

I just want to alert everyone that I am in the process of converting The Detailing Hand Book from a downloadable guide to a stand alone website. Changing the book from a document to a website will allow me to better organize it making it more user friendly. Plus, it will give me a way to mass distribute a change to the guide. Once it's on-line if I make a change it will be instant and available for everyone to see on the website. I'll also look to see if there's a way I can have an email list which will alert people of the changes. Probably, I'm not web savy enough to install something like that though.

The website's address will be . . .

http://www.TheDetailingHandBook.com

It may be a day or two before the address works though and even then it will be a few days before I have the whole guide on the website. Feel free to check in on my progress though.

Thanks for the offer! I'm using a new Microsoft program to build it which so far seems REALLY easy to use.

UPDATE: The website is now active!! I've migrated some of the book to the website, but it may take up to a week to migrate all of it. It all depends on how much time I put into it.

Also, just FYI, I'll be leaving the old Adobe document up for anyone to download. However, I'm sure it will eventually become quite outdated compared to the website.

So, far I'm REALLY liking the way the website is turning out. There's still A LOT of work left to be done though.

Actually, I would prefer that people still be directed to the old link for now. Once the guide is fully up and running in it's new location then we can direct people to the new website.
