Hi all, some of you may have seen my older site that I have done over the past year to raise money for the british heart foundation. I have finished that now but really enjoyed doing the website so have decided to develop it into a news type site for speedsailing.
I know a lot of you will have seen Eric Loots fantastic blog which is now sadly offline. I want to do something similar to that and have been shown a fair bit of support after I posted a thread on GPSSS. I have no intention of treading on anyones toes with this and just want to share the information I come across while browsing the web through forums, social sites etc. I do not want it to be purely a UK site and would like someone from your part of the world (or even several people) to help.
I have done a few simple posts so far, one being a round up of the UK scene (GPSTC mainly) for the past month, is there anyone who fancies doing the same for Australia, or just perhaps your region, giving a bit of info of any great sessions, or spots that worked well etc.
A lot of the info I can put together from the threads in GPSTC but did want to confirm that nobody minded me doing this - something like this
www.redsurfbus.com/2011/08/portland-pirates-have-shocker.htmlI do think though that I am likely to make assumptions and errors from just 'weaning' the news off threads which is why I wondered if there was anyone that fancied doing a summary for their team/region/country each month.
Other posts I would like to include and build up over time are some detailed spot reviews - i.e.
www.redsurfbus.com/2011/08/speedsailing-location-bluff-by-adam.htmlIn the long run I want to turn it from a blog into a real website, but will wait and see how the whole thing takes off before I dedicate a load of time/money into learning website development. Quite a few people are starting to show interest, and I hope you all do as well.
Cheers, Lea
