Additional Information
The only problem you might find with eHow.com is the one I experienced: if you want to communicate with them by phone....you can't. If email them...they seem to have "robots" doing their communications.
For example, I wrote their Help desk and asked "How long can a comment be, in words or characters?" I had just submitted an, admittedly longwinded comment in response to a member who advised against changing your car's engine oil. My response was severely truncated, so I thought I'd better ask the maximum length before ever wasting my words again.
The response I got from the Help department was "Try using a recent version of Firefox".
Oh, I thought, perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I resent the question, and this time got the reply: "Thank you for your inquiry. Please refer to our FAQs found here, http://www.ehow.com/about_us/FAQ_ehow.aspx for more information."
In other words, Read the FAQ, dummy!
Well, I had read the FAQ and didn't see ANY reference to max length for articles or comments.
So, I tried to phone; their only phone number to be found is actually a fax number...and I got the obligatory fax/birdy tweet when I called.
So, yes....interesting enough website; just don't be longwinded in any comments....and don't try to phone them!
