I have been working on a face-lift for the site for quite a few months now.\u00a0 Much of the work involved correcting\u00a0a bunch of poorly written code that was not up to current standards.\u00a0 The new version of the site is standards based and should be much easier to maintain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0Here are are a few of the new features of the site:<\/strong><\/p>\n Getting the backend code up to standards is going to allow for some projects and future growth I thinking about for the site.\u00a0\u00a0 Most of these ideas involves database integration for GPS and trail information as well as user interactivity,\u00a0 blah blah blah, technobable, technobable, etc…..<\/p>\n \u00a0What is up with Freaking Advertisements?<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Yep I have stuck some ads on my site.\u00a0\u00a0 Call it an experiment if you will.\u00a0\u00a0 If the\u00a0advertisments\u00a0end up helping\u00a0defray the cost of running the site as well as maybe be keeping a few tasty microbrews in my cooler at the trailhead, then I’ll keep them.\u00a0 Otherwise I might pull them.\u00a0 Please let me know if you think they are\u00a0trashing your experience on the site.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n There are a few little things that I am still working on at this point.\u00a0 Most of them involve working around Internet Explorer’s less than excellent\u00a0support for web design standards.\u00a0 I recommened you\u00a0give Firefox a\u00a0shot as your browser.\u00a0\u00a0It\u00a0follows the “rules” better and it displays this\u00a0site exactly as I\u00a0coded it.<\/p>\n \u00a0Enough yapping on my part,\u00a0get to clicking!<\/p>\n \u00a0-Bill<\/p>\n\n
