creating website

[roddy]

HI folks

hope someone could point us in the right direction, I was looking at the SPOT adventure site and fancied doing something similar, but without the live feed bit, I can upload tracks that would show on a map with tag photos and the like.

Is there software out there can create this sort of webpage for the novice or am I asking too much ?

I remember a ride report from this site of someone how did something similar and it looked great, but I can't find it now.

any help or pointers would be appreciated

Maybe a combo of Google Site and Google Outreach would serve your purpose.
Outreach uses KML / KMX files.

I can recommend TravelPod.com

It's a good site with blogging, image upload, mapping, links with email to publish any updates to your friends, Facebook integration. Easy to use from any internet cafe.

Oh, and free. Definitely not worth trying to cobble your own together.

Here's one I prepared earlier http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog/robroyaus/1/tpod.html (We used it for our big trip mid last year.)

No it wasn't that one, the site was had mainly a black screen with a map with points on it you hovered over th epoints and a photo popped up or you could look at the scrolling photo's along the bottom of the screen, If I remember correctly it was a couple that did a large european trip.

I'll have a look at the travelpod and google ideas cheers folks
