Would like to hear ya'lls comments on website
Hey folks, would appreciate your thoughts about my WNC Trails website. I'm slowly - very slowly putting it together.

Thanks!
Here's the link:

Great job Balsam. Pisgah National Forest is my stomping grounds. I was up on Looking Glass Rock last Saturday. I fish the Davidson every chance I get. Maybe we can jointly pull together an ECT trip up to the Shining Rock/Cold Mountain area this fall?

Really nice page Balsamwolf....that area is my old stomping grounds and i try to get up there as often as i can....
Sol..great idea~! .on my drive back from Wilson creek this last week, I was pondering planning and posting a trip to shining rocks for the full moon in october.....they are awesome at full moon.......with hike to Cold Mountain. the fall sunrise view from shining rocks looking east is a most beautiful and inspiring thing.
as balsamwolf mentions tho, it would be best as non-weekend thing to avoid the weekend crowd.....or like hike in on Sunday... and here you mention it.!...

Thanks for the comments guys! :)
solitary and i-am-om a Fall trip through Shining Rock would be great! i-am-om I like your thoughts about the hike being during the as well - as you know, that's my only problem with this great area - it can get crowded.

skiracer, thanks for the Hyperlink! :) SGT ROck you've got an interesting website, some good info on it.

I thought the popup ads sucked enough that I only clicked on one link. I give you an 'F'.

Thanks for the comments about my site. I do agree with bacpac, the pop-ups were VERY anoying, but I just minimized them and continued to look at your pages.

Well bacpac, if you'll pay for a web server so I don't have to rely on Advertising to pay for it then the POP-UPs would stop. LOL
Anywho, I thought you were the big American Capitalist on this list, I thought you'd love seeing Capitalism at work. ROTFL ;)~

bw, your photos are so clear - are they all from your digital camera? What brand is it and was it expensive? Your site looks great, love the many pics!! Good luck on your venture!

Hey UTAHIKER, yep it's Digital. It's an AGFA I got it on sale for just under 200 last summer. Don't buy any of those cheap digital cameras like AOL sells. The more you pay, the better the pics! This AGFA was just enough for me.

Thanks Joy, sorry about the ads, but that's what you get with a Free webhosting site. Since I'm not working I can't afford to pay for a site and Fortune City offers 100 megs free. Are you guys getting more ad's than the banner ads at top and one pop-up? Most of the time when I check my site all I get is the banner at the top of the page.

RE: Would like to hear ya'lls comments on website
I think I got just the banner ads and the pop-up (which I remember very well 'cause I hate pop-ups...grrrr) but as you say, the site allows free webposting so that's the trade-off. Thanks for the camera info..I'm off to do some digital camera research...

Nice site. I like the format of it. I personally am a fan of frames, especialy the perl script ones, but normal are okay. The only change I can see is centering the Title text. I have my resolution cranked up and it just looks a little funny with the text being almost centered, but not quite. It's Either that or right Justifly the Picture of the elk on the right hand side. Other then that it looks great. What editor did you use on it, or did you scriptit by hand?

hey deathmarch99, I used Trellix Web editor. You can download it for free. I like it it seems to work quite well. Thanks for your comments I'll try to remember them! :) My mind is kinda off tonight, I went hiking the Deep Gap Trail from Mount Mitchell today and darn if I didn't sprain my ankle. I was mad cause I'd just started the hike so I down 800 mgs of Advil and kept on going (round trip 8 miles). I did fine even though it was tender, well this evening it's purple and the size of a frickin football! Guess I'll be off my feet for a few days. :( Anyway, I hope to post the Deep Gap Hike pics in the Black Mtn section in the next day or so.

It's a nice site, but you could maybe do without the frames, and that terrible add that pops up when you click your back button.
