I have created (well...at least partly created) my own website. It should probably be up and running by Monday!  I'll include a link when I'm finished.  |

Thanks for leaving a comment on the homepage, vweeks. I have already considered making an outstanding catch contest sort of thing. I could possibly make an email account that (NAFC) members could send their pictures to. Also, if anybody leaves a comment, please use your NAFC screen name as your screen name on my website. It makes it easier for me to know who you are.
I am currently trying to upload my first video to the site. I don't know if it will work or not. |

Sadly, there will not be any videos if I can't find a way to post them.
Also, please remember to use your NAFC screen name when you write a comment. |

Cool website, fisherfanatic. Also, good choice of citing where you got your pics from, that's one of those little things that can screw ya if you mess it up. Awesome page on crappie, too. |

Thanks, Skewl! I will probably soon be using my own picture for the catfish and bluegill webpage. Most of the pictures I have of them are hard copies taken with a disposable camera, so I'll have to scan them on to my computer. |

Darn, it's acting up again! How long did you wait? It's working fine for me, it just took a second.
Try this link, and click on "Cabelas Presentation":
http://gofishmichigan.wordpress.com/video/
If this doesn't work, your internet service might not be fast enough. |

Yea, unfortunately all that is coming up is a powerpoint with a green background, I'm pretty sure it was enjoyable though! |

Try clicking on the green background. Maybe that's the problem.
Can anyone else view the video? |

The only thing I can think of that would improve your website would be to expand the largemouth bass lure/bait guide. Specify what lures to use in each situation, like using a dark colored lure in muddy water or in dim light, a light lure in clear water on a bright day, stuff like that. Maybe even some kind of separate Lure/Bait page, buying guides are helpful. Just a thought. |

Hey fisherfanatic, maybe you could load the videos up to youtube and link them them to your site. |

Yeah Your best bet to save on Bandwidth is to use Youtube. Word press also has a Plug-in for uploading video's, course you have to have it hosted on your own server or server space. BUT, as stated, your best bet is to host them on youtube. Then, you can simply just copy and paste the HTML code to your blog and blog about it like that. Course, Might I add that you may need to use the Center tags, as Word press tends to shove all of the Youtube hosted videos off to the left hand side, WHICH, in some web browsers, will make your visitors Side scroll to see you video or the rest of your site. nice looking blog you have there young man BTW, i wish ya luck with it and congrats!

Thanks, EricRidenour! Well, the youtube account is still a "work in progress". If you want to see the new improvements to my site (extension of the "Largemouth Bass" webpage etc.), here's the link: http://gofishmichigan.wordpress.com/ |

I've posted my own picture of a Bluegill in the Bluegill webpage.
Check it out:

If you're wondering why it's stomach is so large, it's because it was about to spawn. |
