I've started up a ride blog at http://mandownenterprises.blogspot.com

Assuming the mods will allow for it, I plan to post up my ride reports there and update this thread with a notification-post when I've updated the blog. I'll include a date and a trail name in each update post so the search feature here will have some value.

I've got the pictures up from San Luis Obispo on Memorial Day Weekend 2010. I rode Irish Hills, Montana de Oro, and West Cuesta. I'm still working on the text, but the pretty, pretty pictures are loaded.

First! Told ya you'd like SB. Pictures made me miss that place in a bad way.

Might just be me but I am having an incredibly tough time reading the white text against the panoramic background.

Good to know. I've changed things around a few times searching for a good combo of good aesthetics and ease of reading. I will take another swing at it.

didnt even pay attention till mentioned... Adam just darken the text box a bit (add opacity) and it is fine. I can read it fine but when he mentioned it I went back and looked and theres a bit of wash...
Still looks good....

2 weeks and counting down FOO!!! You ready to ride........

I'm like lunch meat, I'm always ready.

Everything is much better now. Text boxes weren't showing up for me so all I had was white text on the background.

Good stuff!

i was in the process of tweaking a few minutes ago, so i'm not sure what you got. i'm done now... well for a little while.

I appreciate the comments.

I'll have the SkinSuit blog up by tomorrow. I may even pull the retrospective opening day at Whistler blog out.

Liked the blurred background shot on the website - good idea.

Thanks, I gotta credit Google for giving me the template. I just picked what looked pretty.

Busted computer has prevented posting of skinsuit/tld blog... I'm not doing it on my Droid. Should be back in action next week.
