I took the recommendations of some style guides to attempt to make this site a bit more engaging on first entry. Photos are now front and center, I've eliminated one fluffy text box, raised the member photos and latest activity higher on the page. Of course I also added the new header that replaces the silly Greek letters.

Let me know what you think. I'm happy to rotate out the header image if someone has a great looooong horizontal shot that works we could swap one every so often.

Great job. I like it Randy. That's a great picture on the banner and I like the "tie-in" to your McKenzie River Drift Boat site... links it all together. I do like the position of the photo's on the page too... nice work.
I had just put the fourth coat of varnish on the boat and was ready to tuck it in for a long winter's nap when I got a call Thursday to go chase big salmon on the Elk & Sixes... so I did. Skinny water - fish were mostly in the mouth and didn't come up river when we were there. Great float anyway. Very interesting little rivers and a bit tricky to navigate.
Glad to hear you're still getting out. There's nothing like cleaning the ice out of the rod guides.
I like this look as well...
The image makes it much more inviting. Nice work.
Thanks Jason,
I see that you are getting quite a number of hits on your progress blog. That seat looks like it is finished out very well. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the progress.
Thanks for the compliment! Been feeling good about the things I have done so far...
I also think I am my own worst critic - maybe over analyze certain things, but working with wood this way is really enjoyable... I will continue to post images as I go - I have been taking a few pics as I work for my own collection as well.
Hey Randy,
Site looks great! I also like the pic on the header, it really shows good color on the Mac on a sunny day. It's almost like you do this computer thing for a living :-)
I really like the revolving member photos and the wonderful member boat pics in one place. Nice job.
I agree with Greg. Fished the Elk a bit on Monday, but did not leave the put-in area. Crystal clear and very low. Beautiful day however.
