More photo albums, shopping section, more things to do!
Topic: Site Updates

I've spent the last week being and overcoming being sick. In between I've launched a lot of new photos albums of Seville's churches. These are photos I've had for a long time as you can unfortunately tell by some of the older images (when my camera was on its last legs). Soon I'll be adding photos of different towns and cities as well as some updates to the side trips section.

As the holidays near I felt I should also update the shopping section of the site. You'll find plenty of new categories, my recommendations for stores and places to shop, and more. It took many more hours than I had planned. This seems to be the case with everything recently.

Finally, many of you have given me some positive feedback about the 57 Things to do in Seville section. In response I have added many new items and it's now 85 Things to do in Seville! These are activities and ideas for diversion which are often overlooked. I have tried my best to keep them to original things and stay away from the obvious like "see the Cathedral", etc. A few more ideas have popped into my head and I hope to make it to 101 things!

The best of intentions...
Topic: Site Updates

jalbum at work...

Working on any web page can be full of frustrations. The behind the scenes management of information and photos is an endless job in my case, and today a very frustrating one. I'm working on a new photo album format, something many people won't even notice! Over the last 4 days, I've spent 20 - 30 hours organizing and customizing a new format. Today they should have been published, except in checking every detail I forgot one, which led to me having 60+ albums with no images to upload. I chose the wrong way to do it. I missed a detail. So now I am back repeating maybe 3 or 4 hours of work. I am using jalbum, a great free application, and it's no fault of the software - just my error, which makes this a long and unhappy day.

Time for self-promotion: Exploregranada.com and a radio show
Topic: Site Updates

While it's been online sometime there has been no publicity, and while still is rough around the edges please take a visit to http://www.exploregranada.com . I will be working on new content for the page as I travel a few more times to the city. For now you can get some good basic travel information, lots of photos and some recommendations on where to eat and where to stay. I welcome any feedback!

For another "plug", I am in my third year doing a five minute report on NFL Football on the radio show "El Pelotazo" on Canal Sur. You can hear me and my "expertise" live around 12:20am (Wednesday night/Thursday morning) for a brief update on some games plus the curiosities of the league. The radio show is also repeated in the mornings and archived on the Canal Sur web site somewhere. As I have fun doing it, but little interest in hearing myself on the radio I don't have the link to the show. But it should be easy to find.
