[Alberg30] Pictures of Alberg30's

[Bill Blevins]

Not at all! I totally support what you do for the association via the main Web site. That is a vast amount of valuable information that is totally different than my question.

What I'm suggesting is offering free Web space to A30 members so that they can upload their own photos and building a site for their own boat without bothering you on a daily basis. I think it would be cool to have a site for every boat owner who wanted one - rather than have one person use anglefire, one on this free site and one on another. To get them all on one place.

Think of it as a gift. My boss has agreed to donate the Web space as long as it's not "for profit" as that would conflict with my job.

Yes, we have the Alberg 30 wiki set up, but it seems difficult for even me to use regularly and posting photos is my main interest.
