notindoors.com
Since my time teaching for the college is up (they hired a fulltime “real” professor), I now have some extra energy to put into a side project that I’ve been meaning to start for a while. The website is notindoors.com and its goal is to bring the news, reviews, and special reports of the outdoor recreation industry to all us average folks who’d rather be playing outside than stuck at a desk. I hope to get about four relavent stories up a day in a effort to get more involved with the outdoors and to inspire readers to get outdoors.
I have some long range goals for the site, including a weekly video podcast based on user-submitted pics and video, but it’ll be a bit before that can happen. Short term, I need people to find the site and become readers and participators. That said, have a look at the site and offer feedback (notindoors at gmail dot com) if you can. And bokmark it. And add it to your RSS reader. And show your friends - you get the idea.
That’s awesome! I’ll definitely have to point my pops in that direction, what he being a big hippie and all. Anyhoo, glad to see you posted something!
I like the idea, but the google ads are a bit overwhelming. I hope they help make you money because they sure ruin the feel of the site.
I agree, the ads are way too much. You could at least make a third column that contains the ads going vertically. Because having to scroll down to find the navigation is poor design. Move the ads to a third column, and put the navigation is it’s place.
