Please forgive me, I could not find the "Things No One Gives a Sh** About" section of the JCF!
For the first time in probably two years I actually went to my own website and started reading through it. It is currently so out of date and hopelessly irrecoverable I am not sure what to do with it. The other collectors' sites are so well done and so up to date I am confident I am not covering ground not already addressed more thoroughly in other places. There is no way in creation that I will be able to salvage what is roughly equivalent a resource that stops at approximately 2002 or so.
I could use some creative commentary, critique, and suggestions for what to do. My options range from taking it down altogether to leaving it in its sorry state or perhaps changing its design and perspective.
At one point I was inclined to remove all the historical and identification information and replace it with a 2.0 framework with a wiki and see if it might be resurrected on a communal level. I guess that might still be an option and a novel idea. I like the idea of having a resource up that people use and enjoy. I don't like the idea of contributing to the web-clutterfield of poor quality resources.
When I first started my site eleven years ago there were few resources dedicated to these guitars. Now not only are there great sites and collectors doing their thing, the web as we know it before evolved and we're now in the age of MySpace/Facebook, wikis, blogs, and RSS feeds. The static HTML sites such as mine are dinosaurs. Oh what to do...
I'd like to hear from the old-timers as well as the new-school people.
Thanks in advance folks,
Bret
