If anyone can figure out how to make this stupid thing format properly, take a look at "Decoding 1955-2000 AMC/Rambler/Jeep VINS". It looks right in the edit page, but doesn't display tables properly. Anyone??

:::These particular images were chosen for their diversity and hopefully wide recognition, but I'm not sure I'm liking the rail chassis- the detail is somewhat lost in the smaller size it's now in compared to the original, so I will probably be changing it. Obviously if there are other photos that would be better, these can be changed or others added.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 11:53, 5 March 2012 (MST)

==Img_alt vs tooltip==
What are the difference in what they do? After breifly reading up on this, it's unclear to me what the difference is- I use the img_alt to get the image caption when hovering the cursor over the image, and it seemed from the info I read that the tooltip entry would do basically the same thing. I notice (with my browser, at least) that I can leave the tooltip line empty and the img_alt text will appear when hovering. So is there any reason to use the tooltip also?--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 12:04, 5 March 2012 (MST)

:Yes, they basically do the same thing. Technically the img_alt tag is supposed to be used as an '''''alt'''ernative'' to seeing the image, like for vision-impaired users using a screen reader. And the tooltip is supposed to provide additional information about an element, for any type of user. Functionally they can be very similar, especially with how different browsers choose to interpret them differently.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 10:43, 6 March 2012 (MST)

The photos added to the main page was at Jon's request. See his comments above, made 19:42, 3 March 2012 (MST).--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 17:30, 28 March 2012 (MDT)

Allows the "Crankshaft Coalition Wiki" title to be seen along with the intro, the links to good/need work, etc. articles, the images, and the Article categories title '''''all''''' to be seen w/o scrolling. No need to delete '''any''' content- this was done simply by tightening up the spacing and a single size font change.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 17:51, 28 March 2012 (MDT)
