Jason Wilson and Family Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Well, I've started on a design and I've bought some domain names. I'm going with Towpath Telegraph (thank you Eugene and good to see you again). The main URL will be towpath-telegraph.com. I also have towpath-telegraph.net and towpathtelegraph.net. There are some other iterations already taken, one doesn't respond, another belongs to a company that says a news site is coming soon but the name's been registered since '02. Anyway, I've started work on a proper list of topics or categories. This is shaping up to be more of a magazine so there will be some defined overall categories and maybe some specific categories but a lot of the categories will be created on the fly as an article comes to fill them or they are needed. Waterways News - No specific sub topics, will use tagging/categories as needed. Waterways Living - Live-aboards - Events - Recipes - Pubs and Places - Photos - Towpath - Environment - Boat Hire - Pet Life Maintenance and Boat-building - Upkeep - New Boat Review - Buyers Tips - Maintenance Tips - Improvements and Restoration Equipment - Gadgets - Product Reviews - Waterways Traders Features - Trip Reports - Letters Columns - Fuzzy Hates You - Dave and Carl Disagree - I <3 Rosie & Jim - History and Heritage - This day in history Weather I want to do this but I've not found a good data source yet. I've also had an idea for making it user-driven. The page would have a map with locks and points of interest marked. Users can report conditions in the area and it will track how old the report is. If I can find a good source for flow states and other info it will be incorporated. Thanks for all the help so far. There is no way this will come off without all for your help... unless you're interested in a site about current conditions on a 10 mile stretch of the York River and the latest updates on whether my neighbours house has sold... perhaps I should ad that under columns.

Chertsey Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 How about 'Towpath Telegraph'? Fairly popular term already that helps give the site the boost for readership. I'm looking forward to seeing it come online and reading the contributions. If there was room for an annonymous contributor column......... All the best, Eugene But now we'd know it was you...

Eugene Baston Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 But now we'd know it was you... Ha...who says?! It was only a suggestion after all, and I'm sure there are numerous others who could contribute annonymously....even if you always thought it was me!

Jason Wilson and Family Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 How about something for children? Kids... on the cut? With all these lunatics about?? That will probably be a good idea too. Would have to think about what specifically could be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewey Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 - Dave and Carl Disagree There won't be any room for anything else! Sorry Carl and Dave, couldn't resist that one!! Jason, your proposed site is a great idea and I look forward to seeing how it develops. Best wishes Stewey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Wilson and Family Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Well, despite still mulling over the structure I've got a design coming together for the new Towpath-Telegraph. You can see a larger version at the link. I'm not quite sure what to do with that second from bottom section. I'm thinking of registration at first then having a few different modules users could chose from when they're logged in (recent, weather, etc) Also thinking of a user driven stoppages ticker. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlt Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 There won't be any room for anything else! Sorry Carl and Dave, couldn't resist that one!! For one very important reason I have to insist that it be "Dave and Carl", not the other way round..... Gertcha!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natalie Graham Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) Unsuitable content removed If you have a genuine problem with John the Duck's presence on this site then might I suggest you contact a member of the Admin team and tell them of your concerns. Otherwise, either post genuine posts that contribute positively to the discussion in hand, or go away. Natalie.
