There is one fundamental difference between Wool Jersey and the CR
webpage. WJ is a photo gallery and the CR page is an actual webpage.
For most folks they don't know the difference, so here it is. Webpages
don't generally use templates or forms to create the page-- thought
some do. When you want to change a webpage, even with WYSIWYG editor,
there are a bunch more steps involved than just dropping things in a
folder and uploading the folder. A little over 4 years ago I started
the Classic Bikes Resource Page
http://www.uweb.ucsb.edu/~mkirklan/classiclinks.html and it's now
defunct in my mind. I created it to add things I felt were missing
from the CR main site. In the end it was just more work than I wanted
to deal with and it's a really, really simple page.
Photo galleries are quick and easy. There are on-line ones like Flickr
http://www.flickr.com/photos/51035616637@N01/sets/53680/ this page
took me maybe 10 minutes to make including figuring out their
interface. Here is the gallery function from Photoshop
http://ivycycles.com/pics/redbike/Desktop.html and this took me maybe
3-5 minutes to make. Both of these sites have better functionality
than my above Classic Bike Resource Page.
