Well, I thought I'd spend the summer learning HTML and design my own website around my favorite lure: the crankbait. I made my goal - so here it is...
http://www.crankbaitcentral.comWARNING: it is only in it's test stage, so it is missing a lot of content, but its up.
I wonder if you wouldn't mind
examining my first attempt and giving me back some feedback. Go easy on me, I'm an amateur!
Obviously it is
not a generalized site, but very specific in nature - a "niche site". And yes, it will eventually be multi-species because crankbaits are used by various groups of anglers, but
most of the content will come from bass and walleye sources. Eventually you will see articles from Muskie, Pike, Trout (for Brian Walker), Strippers, Crappie, etc...
Down the road, I hope to have a forum and several other features, but one challenge at a time. Check back every once in a while and see how it is coming.
REMEMBER: All browsers work differently, so what looks good on my browser may not show up correctly on another. So if you see a picture missing, or overlapping words, or banners going off the page, etc... please let me know what browser and what
version of that browser you are using so I can make adjustments to the code. These adjustments are called "hacks" and are inserted to meet the idiosyncrasies of specific browser. (See - I am learning!)
Thanks ahead of time for your honest feedback. CB
PS: If you are knowledgeable of a qualified crankbait expert that you could put me in contact with, I'd like to interview them and write an article based on it. Networking is one of my next vital goals. They don't have to be a professional tournament angler, (not everone can go that route), but perhaps they are a guide, pro-staffer, or just master angler. The key is - can they share knowledge that helps anglers grow and that promotes the enjoyment of the sport.[ftp][/ftp]
