Best format for a photo how-to writeup?

I'm putting my transmission back together finally and starting to write up the pics and notes I have. What's best?

1) Powerpoint or Word
2) PDF file
3) Make a big forum thread

1 and 2 are easiest for me to make, and I can use arrows and other stuff to point stuff out in the pictures. But a forum thread doesn't need separate web hosting.

There's always the free myspace.com, but that's more a blogger host. PDF will work and we'd want to have it archived. Threads may get deleted or the board could be hacked again. Maybe someone could offer you some space. Mine's full also.

I would suggest PDF if you can.

I can also host any good info you have on my new site.

PDF. Once my server is up again, I can host, though I'm only on a 256k up speed, but hey, it's free.

PDF is by far the best method IMO because you have Mac/PC/Unix cross platform functionality and you don't have to deal with links to pics (that inevitably end up as red Xs).

If you make a PDF, I'll be putting a copy up on my website
