Because Capt'n Joseph Berta can only read list mail and not post to the list because of some "glitch"....here is more information on the creation of a web site to display members and their boats, via-me posting for Capt'n Joe until he works out the "glitch". His e-mail address is Joseph Berta at gjberta@marinesupportonline.com ________________________________________________________________________ Here is what I tried to post last night but it did not get through: (I also saw and appreciate you last post. I can read but can not post.) Feel free to use this as you wish. Thanks again, Capt. Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: Joseph Berta To: Trawler World List Sent: Monday, January 29, 2001 11:59 PM Subject: TWL pictures Thanks to all responding to the idea of a Trawler World List photo archive. So far I have received some Great shots of some Great boats. While a free photo depository such as www.photopoint.com has been suggested, I feel that it is rather limited in what we can do with it. My idea was more along the lines of web pages, where we could dress things up a bit and add descriptive. The other drawback of the Photopoint site is the need for a recognized e-mail address, limiting the administrative tasks to one person. The same is the problem with my earlier suggestion of using my own MarineSupportOnLine site. So, here is what I come up with: I already set up a sample site allowing us 50 megs of disc space for free at 50megs.com. The URL is http://twlimages.50megs.com Please Note; No Ws! This is a subdomain. Just type "twlimages.50megs.com" into your browser. The nice thing about this is that it Is a web site, the URL is easy to remember and if we need to transfer it in the future, - like if Trawler World.com gives us disc space, - then we can do it lickity split with FTP. The best thing about it is, that any one of us with some knowledge of HTML can work it from anywhere, all they need is the password and the FTP parameters. Also, on the site we can set up a guest book type form mail, to deal with requests and suggestions relating to the photo site exclusively, thus placing that much less congestion on the TWL. I can put the start up pages together in a few days and will take care of it for now, but a couple of people familiar with HTML would be nice to have as volunteers, just in case I get swallowed by a whale or run over by a bus. Let me know your thoughts, Capt. Joe __________________________________________________________________________ Hi again Bob Listee Ray Henry offered his help before I backed out. I saw what he has done with websites, and I think he is very talented and knows what he is doing, while I'm only dabbling in the stuff. I talked to him tonight, he has no time to do it alone (neither do I), but I have a feeling that his offer of extending his help would still stand. With his and some others' help, perhaps we could make it happen. Ray is talking about being able to build a site where people can post their own material without having any one particular person as the "pipeline". This would be the way to go, but I do not have that kind of expertise in website design. If you post it, please make some reference to the above. Thanks, Capt. Joe ________________________________________________________________________ Bob Clinkenbeard
