Gerg,

Your new design is working for me in FF. I don’t know why it would show different in mine unless we use different default font sizes, or screen resolutions.

Thanks Mike. Still tweaking the design, but the main idea was to focus on the content a bit more and do away with some of the clutter.

Excellent trip report. I like the new blog look too, more "wide open", like the outdoors. Mike's last blog post..Moose family, national forest

Terry – that’s great. Many thanks. I hope it’s a good experience and you don’t feel like you’ve crossed to the dark side. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the heads-up on the formatting issues. Weird because it looked fine in Firefox for me… but I uninstalled that theme until I have time to play with it some more.

Cheers.

Gerg,

I’ll start with the whiskey jacks and see where things go.

PS - Your new dharma blog look & feel in Firefox – the contents of the navigation column is all pushed down to the bottom of the page… It looks good in IE, though.

Think that should be the blog’s new tagline, Scott?

Wow, what a vow. Thanks! I hear you about the stereotypes of wiki editors and all that, but here’s the deal… though the BWCAWiki might seem like a subset of Wikipedia, running on the same software, having the same general look-and-feel and even similar objectives… it’s not Wikipedia. For one thing, the whole “just the facts” articles aren’t requisite. There is no demand of “Neutral Point of View.” I just want info. The web is full of trip reports and other commentary on lakes and portages, etc. It’s all biased and subjective, but it’s still useful. If we can get some of that in the BWCAWiki… mission accomplished. So don’t worry too much about sticking to the facts. I feel that there’s room in the BWCAWiki for voice and personality.

Anyway, the wiki could just use the love and hopefully someday it will grow larger and more useful.

Here are two suggestions for wiki articles: Whiskey Jacks and the Angleworm Lake Trail.

Do it!

Aaaargh - Guilty as charged! I've avoided signing up because I'm just not sure how I would do at writing impartial "Just the facts" articles. Also I think that I may be as guilty as anyone in stereotyping wiki-editors - It's a line, and once you cross it you're on the other side! But since I DO consider myself a member of the community that the bwcawiki serves, I hereby vow to compose at least one (1) article worthy of the bwcawiki before the end of this month. I will then sign up for editorship and upon approval submit said article for your consideration. If the article is not up to your standards, you may feel free to flame me.
