Flipperweb starts his web sites

This blog is the story of the birth of flipperweb sites.
For some time there has been the flipperweb photo portal at http://flipper.gotdns.com. This was the start and is also the foundation for my current work. http://www.snowmad.co.uk/snowmad.htm

SnowMAD will be the place to get info on anything to do with skiing and snowboarding.
As you can see it's not pretty, there's no real content and it's slow. It's hosted on an old laptop at home right now. The work has gone into converting the photo portal engine into a cms for snowmad. Also converting it to a css based site with xml and xsl transformations. Go look at Arabba in Italy on the site to see where it's going.

There are plans to allow members to upload reviews of gear and resorts also for members to post piste maps or resort maps too. They'll be forums and I'm looking into the idea of linking onto a holiday selling website too.

I plan to follow it up with a scuba related site too.
