Lowendguide.com - my new site (Help wanted)
Many will probably start ranting about promoting your sites here on LET but in this case it's more of asking for help.
I recently (after a long time of thinking about it) managed to get this site online.
My idea and purpose was to try and build a common Tutorial site for all of us that are interested into cramming as much as possible into a VPS with really low specs.
I know theres the wiki here and alot of people here have their own technical blogs.
The intention of this site is not to blog about whats new and whats not, more of guides on how to manage stuff that you have installed on your VPS, or even how to install them.
Hopefully, all posts will not be to technical, instead trying to explain to the reader what actually is happening.
So, to get to the point.... Are there anyone here, interested on writing some guides to populate the site?
Have some code snippets in a text-file that changes the world as we know it?
You might even have a already made tutorial/guide written that you wish that more would read?
The budget is limited, but good writers will be rewarded in some way.

The menu looks a bit bugged. There is About us botton on the second row that changes it's position when you go through the other buttons on the first row of the menu.
Currently by design
Hopefully I will be able to update the template abit along the way.
where will this get anyone in life?
Why should this be limited to administering just Low End VPSes? I mean what's wrong with High End VPSes?
And in this case why "LowEndGuide" and not just "VPSGuide" or similar?
I'd like to help. PM coming your way.
Would be interested to help.
Nice project.
Where would you be in life if you didn't have something to complain about?
And in this case why "LowEndGuide" and not just "VPSGuide" or similar?
There's nothing wrong with High End VPS, anything that runs on a Low End would probably run on a High End.
Reason why its targeted towards lowend is.. I used to work as a Windows developer but got tired on that every software should be able to do everything. The "old days" were more on how to optimize code then to write as fast as possible. Today as I have left that part of my life behind me, I see bloated software. And that's a direction that I don't like.
@Ishaq and @concerto49
I will reply shortly to your PMs.
I like the idea of the site, however it seems like with the way it's currently structured, it'd be a bit tough finding anything. Linode has a bit of a different layout with their Linode Library, and I feel it works a lot better in navigation.
There is always the search function, it will find what you are looking for.
When the number of posts increases, it is possible that another platform will be used but that is something to be decided in the future.
@MikHo, have you thought about changing the structure of the post previews on the front page/categories to reduce the whitespace?
@Adduc
Actually I hadn't notice it until the other day
It is on my todo-list.
Thanks for mentioning
@MikHo I like the logo, who made it?
Couple of IMO's
Lose the hideous post 'icons' - all very 90s PHPNuke
Title-case your titles
@Andre
Can not for the world remember who made it.
Some random dude on a board somewhere on the internet
Think it was from this thread

@FFFlip
What do you mean by phpnuke?
@MikHo
A used-to-be-popular CMS that came bundled with huge horrible icons…
@FFFlip
I know what it is, wasnt sure how you associated it with the site.
Now I know
@Liam, thanks and it will (there are some drafts, waiting to be finished).
I will not "force" alot of content, it will be evenly added over time.
@MikHo I thought what is this guy? 11? ;¬)
Like I said, just IMO
@FFFlip
Oh, I wish I was 11 again:) it's been such a long time ago.
There has been some opinions about the layout and all will be taken into consideration to form a complete picture.
It will probably not happen within the next few days/weeks (unless I get the urge to do some changes). My priority right now is to add valuable content.

Fixed it, thanks
@MikHo: already implemented that WHMCS root password tip. It's great. I'll probably be advertising on your site shortly.
@shovenose
You are most welcome, however I can not take credit for it. The original Author is @Kujoe.
I only published it.
Since I want to market my own site, working on the following topics:
A topic that I suspect to take some time is the request for a howto for
If anyone have other "requests", please let me know
Hey, with respect to:

And the issues pasting that code, you can do it easily with Blite

I see this page on your website is a copy of another site. Did you get permission to copy their article?

@acrusfront
Indeed it is. That post was used when I first started the site and needed something quick to see the layout. I have not been in contact with the original author and the post on http://www.lowendguide.com is now removed.
An honest mistake and I thank you for pointing it out.
I will rewrite it since it's something that many people will be able use.
It is hard to write something that is not already on the internet, it's a big place
@Alex_LiquidHost
The menu is now fixed, no more "jumping around".
