Your friendly webweenie got a little time to do some web site renovation today. Mostly, it was a matter of taking a pile of old, loosely integrated material and moving it into the main web site where it will be easier to find and a whole lot easier to maintain.
Take a look up top at [...]

We’ve added some new material and reviewed and updated the links on the Fire Information Links Page. Mostly, this was a matter of chasing down the ever-changing location where the Flathead National Forest posts its fire data.
At present, the link to the Fire Information Page has a permanent home in the “NFPA Site Links” section [...]

The Missoulian introduced a redesigned web site this afternoon. Unfortunately, this screwed up every inbound link to their stories for the past several years, not to mention trashing external search engine results from outfits like Google. Apparently, we’ve got some teething problems here. It’s going to take quite a while to clean this up. In [...]

A new year, a new site banner.
This image was contributed by Oliver Meister of the North Fork Hostel. It shows a view from the river of the back yard of the hostel. The North Fork was frozen over and Oliver walked out onto the ice to get the photo.

Our nice, wintry site banner is provided courtesy of Rachel Potter. This photo was taken on the road to Big Prairie, looking across the North Fork of the Flathead River towards the Whitefish Range.

Improvements proceed apace. Note the “Contact” link above that takes you to a form where you can send messages and such to the site admin. For now, I’ll pass them on to the appropriate people if the material is not web site related. And (ahem) this makes it a little easier to get in touch about contributing imagery for possible use in the site banner.

Our refurbished “News & Announcements” page has this nice banner up there at the top. But it would be even nicer if it changed every once in awhile. So, if you folks have any good photos from around the North Fork, send them along. If I use them in the banner, you get featured in [...]
