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….

Launch Rewrite Hide

I have really started in earnest working on the re-write of the launch site portion of kayakvb.com, and at a minimum I will be switching from Yahoo Maps to google maps. The other things that are on my short list of things to add are directions to and from a specific location, downloadable GPS waypoints. 

I have been considering adding some sort of user feedback or comments capability for each launch, as I do not have the time to visit every location on a regular basis, and it would be a good way to keep others informed of the status or condition of launch sites.

If you have any requests, comments, or feedback, feel free to leave them here or email me at PAUL AT KAYAKVB.COM and don’t be shy.

As soon as I have a somewhat working preview, I’ll post a link here, somewhere here…
Thank You
