CINCY 500 - The Challenge Continues

In 2002, a bunch of us current/former outboard drivers decided to get together in the offseason to fuel our competitive urges. We were invited to get together at Holt's to hang out in his new finished basement to catch the Buckeye-Wolverine game. The final was OSU 14-9. They went on to win the National Title over Miami.

The rest is history. We had such a blast, we decided to keep doing it. But, we changed it to the Daytona 500 in February since most of us just had too much going on in the fall. Only 2 people (besides D) have attended every year, Joe & Jer.

In 2011, our 10th annual, we have more guys planning to attend that ever before. 7 are expected. 

 

 

Under one of these subheadings, it's a good idea to list recent updates to my site so that visitors, especially return visitors, can check out the new stuff first. For example, I could list the date and a brief description of the update.

I could also list updated news about my site's topic. For example, if my site were about a particular sport, I could discuss the outcome of a recent competition.

I might not want a large amount of text on my home page if I want to guide visitors toward my other pages. Instead of text, I can add photos or interesting links. One of the first things I would want to do is choose a template that reflects what my site is all about. Colors and themes are a great way to reinforce the message and purpose of my site.

Even if I don't put much text on my home page, it's a good idea to include hidden tools that will help me promote my site, so people other than my friends and family actually see it. For example, I could add meta tags, which are hidden codes that allow search engines to find my site. I could also install stats and a counter so I know how many people are visiting. If not many are visiting, submitting my site to search engines will guide more traffic to my site.
