Well, if stores can have a “grand reopening”, so can I! The site has been in operation since the end of 2008, however went through many changes of layout, content, and planning. After some significant work on my end, I’ve reworked the site to make it not only easier to navigate, but a little bit easier on the eyes.
Features of note:
- Integrated geo-tagging (courtesy of Google Maps) of photos, and posts.
- Very solid picture gallery.
- Dynamic adjusting “fluid” layout, for those of you reading on a 30″ Cinema Display, or a 7″ netbook. As for browser compatibility, I’ve been looking at it through Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer, and they generally output the same content. Use firefox, for a fast browsing experience none the less.
- Little tricks like Unit Conversion for you non metric folk for weights, and distances.
- Ads, yeah. I know. I battled with this a bit, but you know what? Seeing as there is some reviews on this site, it’s hoping that someone might even buy the products based on my recommendations, so thats why the ads are there. I’m not looking to make a million bucks, but if it means touring for that much longer around the world? Definitely.
-Ability to Login with your Google, Yahoo, Facebook, and other accounts to leave comments. This is huge, no one wants to continually sign up to blog sites – so this lets you use your credentials from other sites to prove that you aren’t a dirty spambot. Very cool stuff.
There are a few minor things I need to tweak, colours, fonts, borders, but this will all be done in small chunks – now its time to focus on content, and get outside and start riding…..
