Rather then rewrite the launch sites pages from scratch, I have decided to take things on different path…
The original kayakvb web site was not initially designed to handle the things it does, I had the grand idea a couple of years ago to rewrite things in a more robust and more manageable form. After several attempts in several different programming languages, added to an increased schedule, I had to find another solution, the maintenance of kayakvb.com, and the dread of having to add a trip, became an excuse for me to blow off kayaking and go do something else, because I am compelled to write about any kayak trips for some strange reason.
Well to make a long story short, while working on another project, I came across a content management system (CMS) that looked like it was what I needed… So I have started working on kayakplaces.com (take a look) essentially a offshoot of kayakvb, not sure yet on the direction I am going to take kayakvb.com, but it will not be going away anytime soon, but it will be improved…
If you have any feedback feel free to leave it here in the comments, or email me at paul at kayakvb.com….
I am going to change the way I post trips, and where they are posted to…
Going forward all my future trips are going be at trips.kayakvb.com.
Rewriting the whole thing was getting to be just to time consuming, and my job is busier then ever. Add to that the changes in how I process pictures, caused them to look really bad…
Hopefully this efficiency will free up some time and I can continue to add to the launch site list, and make improvements there…
Went through and validated all the outbound links on the site tonight. Had to remove a couple that didn’t meet my criteria for inclusion on the site. There were also a couple that were gone or no longer pertinent to kayaking in general.
I also have a list of links that I’ll be adding real soon…
Probably going to do some re-categorization work soon, and add a couple of new categories…
If you have any links that you don’t see please feel free to contact me, and I’ll check them out…
