After a year of haphazard space usage and a lack of organization I have reworked my web pages. If you care to visit they begin at ...

There are nice photos of the 2005 nationals venue.

Really nice photos, Frank! Lake Cheney looks to be quite a lot larger in area than Folsom Lake, which is only a little more than 3 miles at the widest spot. You have some awesome sunset shots.

Great pictures Frank. I particularly like the one where you're trying to sail out of your driveway. Obviously, you'd been on the hard too long!

Thanks for the comments. I have noticed the Sailing page that I link to above has been visited 65 times but the other pages have only been visited less than twenty times. Please be sure to notice the links at the top to the other pages. If there is a picture in the slide show that looks helpful to you, all you need to do is click on it and you will have a separate window that is easy to download. On my bowser I need to go to the view menu and tell it I want to see the address bar if I want to link to the individual pictures.

Get ready to get busy, Frank. The Fleet 94 website was constructed in January of this year and has had 2100+ hits! I really think the "management" advice you wanted could start on our site, with the link through to our Nationals site. It may not be there all that long, so you might want to do it while it's up! Lots of ideas about what you might want to include. Our schedule is there, etc. Lots of what we did is already online. Good luck in your preparations for 2005. I can tell you that, even with the great help I had, this was the equivalent of a part time job.....putting it together. Start early with the big pieces and save the details until the last. Worked for us. We are still finalizing budget things that I can share with you, but it looks like we will finish definitely in the BLACK!

Regards,

What webpage publisher do you guys use. I'm on Bellsouth.net and they give me quite a bit of FTP. I even used one of their templetes. But you cannot edit a templete once it is made. My brother is a programmer and he says if I use MS that only MS can read it? I want a web page, but I am not a genius.

Fleet 94 is the real deal, I just use the features of my Macintosh. Apple has a service called .Mac that interfaces with the standard Macintosh software. When I plug a camera in my computer an app called iPhoto senses it, launches downloads the pictures and provide one click options to "publish" them (like my pages), email them in various sizes and compressions and a bunch of other stuff. My user name is fhopper@mac.com, that email address is also part of the .Mac service; it also handles movies, music, FTP, back-up, multi-computer synchronization of calendars etc. and distributes free software. We Macintosh people have a very different computing experience than Windows people. They have it all it just is not as integrated.

PS I did some html when it was young and there were no apps, we just used text editors. There are very good apps for creating web pages now. Heck, Word will sort of do it.

I am a techno-toddler and cannot even post pictures, myself. I had 2 guys who did the web business, and two different websites. I use a Mac. I will try to get Ray Clift and Dale Mack to respond with what they did. I was simply suggesting that you take a look to see what they included, ie. the crew wanted/needed feature, schedules, the scratch sheet, all the SIs, NOR, forms, info. on lodging, launching, etc. as well as previews/photos of courses, etc. Not that you have to copy what we did, but lots of folks found much of this helpful they said.
