New BootsnAll
Chris and I have been up for 20 hours a day the past 3. A very soft launch on BootsnAll. What is it?
- A new look
- Navigates geographically
Most folks will not notice….yes - we know parts are broken. Why did we still go forward….at some point you gotta bite the bullet and go forward instead of waiting till it is perfect. (It only took us about 3.5 years) With 100’s of 1000s of hand coded pages…converting them to a dynamic site involves some pain ie: parts that won’t be perfect.
We’ll be cracking on them ASAP and lotsa new features coming soon to make planning your trip and connecting with travelers WAY better and easier. So the end result will be good stuff. :-0 - bare with us and thanks for your support and comments.

Thanks Jen. WR is on the list for a redo soon as well!
Cool! I’m asking Santa for a new header 
Neat, streamlined and packed with information of all travel types.
Love the change.
In general it looks good - quite subtle isn’t it…
my only gripe is that there doesn’t seem to be links to author’s other stories - I always find it interesting to read other stories by people after you are drawn to one…

Goto the bottom of the author’s story…you’ll see a box with links to similiar stories - click on the author’s name and you’ll see a page with all the stories written by that author.

a zillion apologies - as you well know I am a dangerous muppet when it comes to computers so I didnt spot this first time around. Now I see it I love it - I would like to think that the time we shared a bed together contributed to this brilliance but I think I may well be deluded…
anway, congrats on 6 years (!!!) of Bootsnall and I love the new site…
awesome
Philip
No worries PB - new things take getting used all the time…and a new BnA is no different
