2.8 Wordpress Fails

June 20th, 2009

As I said earlier

Today I tried to upgrade to wordpress 2.8, which is easier said than done. So as you can see it failed and after spending 3 hours looking for the error I lost my theme and will be working hard to bring the site back, until then the world map is at schwarttzy.com/map.html.

The website went down, so I had to create a new theme, which you are viewing right now. To night I will hopefully integrate the map back into the theme and everything will be okay. That and I going to start working on adding more location even though I can’t afford to visit them.

Welcome to the new design!

March 8th, 2009

As you can see this is the new website design, I hope the website design is to every one’s liking, if not just complain below in the comments. Don’t worry about the big old Google Map it has only been moved to www.schwarttzy.com/map.html and will continue to function just as good and be updated as before.

With that said I would like to share with you the new features I will be implementing into the site. The first feature and the best is the ability to share with you the actual trail drawn on a Google Map. With this line drawn on the map it has the ability to go way beyond standard maps with the aid of  markers a set distances along the trail describing things like Latitude and Longitude, Elevation, total distance traveled, the time it took to get to that point, the time spent not moving, the average speed, top speed, and best of all the change in elevation going up and down from marker to marker. While this amount of data may seem to be a bit overwhelming, it is neatly organized for you as you can see below.

Another feature will be on the local information to be had when you come to the area. Simple things like parts stores with their phone number and hours of operation for when you break down. The amenities like hotels, campgrounds, grocery stores, and the nearest Walmart are few other things that make it easier on you. With that said don’t forget to click on the links to the local clubs and events so you can properly plan your trip.

It’s getting late, so hold tight for more updates.
