Cook Street Cam and webpage redesign

Post by bwd »

Hey everyone:

Some minor news that no one will care about:

The COOK STREET cam is now online. Thanks to Mark, Bosun's Locker and viewers like YOU. It may take a little while for us to work out the best camera angle etc. Also the wide angle sucks and I'm going to get a tele lens in about a week so we can see more water and less sky. So the view will get better. Nice image quality though. The cams now refresh using popups - click to open a window and it will automatically refresh. Now sure if that is the best option, but we'll see how people like it.

I moved the message board and latest forum topics to the HOME page. Hope that's ok. I thought the webcam page would be too crowded with more cams in the works. Plus the old home page was useless. So now you have to check 1 extra page.

Thanks for the feedback Mf4. Can't wait to see what the Cook Cam looks like when I get the Tele lens and it isn't such a dark and gloomy day. Maybe Kiter Saddam will be revised, although it is kind of funny now that I think about it.

Thanks for the comments everyone! Just so everyone knows - make sure you click on the Cook Street cam image to open up the full sized version. The bigger version looks a lot better,
