Ride with Joe – Relaunched!

Well here it is…… the re-launch of the Ride with Joe website. It is still much a work in progress but I think those of you that had followed my adventure last year will find this much easier to navigate and follow. I learned a lot about what was good and also what wasn’t so good about the last site. I’ve also been researching blogs and “social networking” quite a bit. I’ve built in some pretty nifty functionality. into this site so I hope everyone enjoys it. 

Some current features:

• No need to create an account to post comments
• Sidebar map showing Joe’s last reported locations. If you click the map it shows a larger map with a trail.
• Geotagged pictures. This means all the pictures appear in a google map showing where the photo was taken.
• Share links at the bottoms of each post to make it easier to share individual posts with friends.
• Posts are sorted by categories to make it easier to seach and find the ones you like.
• RSS feed support so that you can get updates of posts without haveing emails being sent constantly.
• Twitter integration so you can “tweet” Joe

The original site was hosted at travelpod.com. It is still there but I have migrated every entry and photo to this site. You can read (or re-read) those entries by clicking the Ride with Joe 2008 link on the top menubar. I’ve Geotagged all the pictures and they get overlayed on Google Maps like all the new entries will going forward.

 Starting out it will be just me here for the most part. I am open to expanding the Blog to other interested contributors. If you are interested, drop me a line on my Contact page. If there are events, products or other interesting items you would like me to feature, feel free to let me know as well. This is just the start of something much bigger that I have planned. Stay tuned!

Rock on!

Joe
