I was hoping to create my own website where I can post trip reports and other random stuff and am looking for suggestions to get me started as I'm pretty clueless about it. Just looking for something simple (either free or inexpensive) where I can easily add pictures, text, apply some simple formatting, has some sort of table of contents with links to different trip reports, etc. Are there good sites with templates for this sort of thing?
Apr 13, 2012 at 11:38 am #1866913Have you tried creating a blog? It's painless and fairly easy.
EDIT: Try blogspot or wordpress.
Apr 13, 2012 at 11:55 am #1866918Thanks Angus. I just checked out WordPress and I think it might be exactly what I'm looking for. I'll have to look at it in more detail later and check out Blogspot as well.
Apr 13, 2012 at 2:24 pm #1866964You could also look at our site: backpackthesierra.com
It's built on Google sites, and allows for a lot more organized presentation of information and materials than a simply blog
Apr 13, 2012 at 4:15 pm #1867009Thanks Paul. I just checked that out and it was pretty easy, especially since I already have a google account.
I like your site as well. I've viewed it several times after finding it when searching for early season trips in the sierra.
Apr 18, 2012 at 1:58 pm #1868709Well, it's a good reason to lobby the good folks behind BPL to upgrade to a modern forum software anyway. Adding photos and what not is pretty simple stuff on vBulletin or Powerboard based forums… even the freeware such as phpBB supports this type of thing.
There are already quite a few good trip reports here, it would be nice to see it grow even further.
Just my $.02
