[TheForge] Yale Yellin gate...

[ries]

I tried to log onto this wiki, and add stuff-
I was able to register, and become some sort of member of wiki wiki  
land, but could not add places to visit to your list.
How do you do it?
When I try "edit" it wont let me.
I cant find any other way to add stuff?

Mike,

Great minds must work alike.

Actually,  The Blacksmith Guild of Central MD has started just such an  
thing
in our on-line BLACKSMITH ENCYCLOPEDIA.

http://wiki.bgcmonline.org/bin/view.cgi/BlacksmithInfo/BlacksmithPlacesToGo

Click on UNITED STATES to get a list of the states.  Then click on the
individual state to see what is located there.

The down side, is that due to the  WIKI-SPAM we have been forced to ask
those who contribute to the listings to register.

The   lat/lang coordinates is a good idea, hadn't thought of including  
that.


Regards,
Albin
