Default Kitplanes Articles -- Volunteer?

I have about three or four years of my monthly Kitplanes columns that have
not been posted on my website for you all to use. I used to post them every
month, but with dialup it was taking me (literally) hours to cut, paste,
upload, resume ... for each article. I also had a wonderful volunteer that
I could send the whole kaboodle and then get the kaboodle back modified and
ready to upload, but that, too, was taking forever on dialup.

So Gail and I sprung for satellite broadband and got it just in time for the
semester to start and my editor time is very limited.

Short of the long of it is that I'd like a volunteer to take all the crap in
the kaboodle (fuzzy photos, nonessential or supplemental files, and all the
rest of the stuff it takes to do a monthly article) and edit it, prepare it
for upload to my web page, change the index file on the home page to reflect
the new page(s), and everything needed to put month after month of back
articles on the web page.

One of the benefits is that you get columns four to six months before they
appear in print -- I just sent the December column a couple of weeks ago.

Of course, once this all comes to pass with the back issues, it will settle
down to a dull roar once a month.

Jim
