The blog has already changed, as you can see, but the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.motorcyclecolorado.com\" target=\"_blank\">Passes and Canyons, Motorcycle Touring in Colorado<\/a> website will not get its make-over for another day or two.<\/p>\n<p>This has been a lot of work for my brother and for me. He is a professional web designer and I guess he decided it was time for me to have a more professional-looking site. I built and have maintained this thing all by myself all this time. I don&#8217;t have the skills to do what he does. I&#8217;m a writer; he&#8217;s the designer.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an interesting example of what he&#8217;s done. You see this picture in the body of this post? And you see the image across the top of the screen. They are the same picture. It&#8217;s the second shot on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.motorcyclecolorado.com\/hoosier_pass.htm\" target=\"_blank\" >Hoosier Pass<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<p>What I saw as just a shot of the road at the top of Hoosier Pass he saw as a defining photo to make the theme of the whole site. Just crop a lot from the bottom and a lot from the top and you have a guy on a motorcycle with the mountains behind him . . .<\/p>\n<p>When he asked me if I had a high resolution copy of that image I couldn&#8217;t understand what he wanted it for. I was impressed when I saw.<\/p>\n<p>So anyway, I hope you think the change is good. There have been a few mishaps along the way and it has been a lot of work for both of us. I doubt you&#8217;ll see another major change for at least another four years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recent from National Motorcycle Examiner<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/examiner\/x-378-Motorcycle-Examiner~y2009m6d14-Motomarathoners-cruising-some-of-the-best-Colorado-has-to-offer\" target=\"_blank\" >Motomarathoners cruising some of the best Colorado has to offer<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Biker Quote for Today<\/h3>\n<p>When you feel like playing hooky, play it.
