Got off my butt and started building a new hiking homepage-it's shell is done, it just needs the rest of the padding put in  My old hiking homepage was fun, but I couldn't do much more with it, and I hadn't updated it in like 5 months. So I built a new site, which I like better! So come visit!

Not to bad Sarbar. I must say it appears that you have gotten around in the last 5 years.
Keep it up!!

It's pretty safe to say that if we take all of man kinds accumulated knowledge, we still don't know everything. So, I hope you understand why I don't believe you know everything. But then again, maybe you do.

I like the new site...it's amazing how many places you have been hiking when you write 'em all down! Hopefully some day I'll figure out how to make my own web-page too!

No kidding! With my old homepage, I spent way too much time on it. My new site is way easier to work with. I will say that Freewebs.com is very easy to use, and very easy to do it as you want it.

the edges were done on that shot with Photoshop as sarbar said. i first make a new layer put black around as thick as I might want it, with the charcoal shaped brush in air brush mode. I then use the charcoal shaped brush in air brushed mode as an eraser and slowly but surely remove the black till I have what I want in an edge. the eraser will have varying different opacities and flow over the time i am working on it in order to get the effect you see. It took me a good 3 months or trial and error to get the settings down that I liked. even then each border is time consuming. Each of the borders on every photograph i do is usually hand done. sometimes I clone then from a previous and then modify. but if I start from scratch, which i usually do, all told it usually takes me an hour + per photograph to get close to what I want. then i revisit it a few weeks later and tweek it. With that you can get things like the ones attached below.
keep in mind that these are crunched WAY down and that the originals are much better quality.

The site looks excellent! I wondered if you would share the process you used to give the black 'edge' around your openning shot? I was hoping to apply that effect to my wedding black and whites and yours is the first I've seen that is exactly right. I would appreciate your secret -Josie |
If you don't necessarily want the "torn" edge, but just a straight small black border, it can be done in less than 10 seconds in Adobe PhotoDeluxe, with a variation in width on the border from 1 to 15 pixels, and of course any color you want. Makes a nice clean border. Here's an example with a 12 pixel black border. Took three mouse clicks to make the border.

It was taken this past February. I think 20 was still closed.

If you wanna let a browser do the border:
(note: put less than/greater than characters around the following lines)
STYLE
IMG {border: 8 px black}
/STYLE
before the body of your web page.
This has not been tested by your humble poster. Only read it in a book.

For simple HTML you can do:
<IMG SRC='image.jpg' BORDER=1>
and it will add a 1 pixel border around the image the same color as your text. If the image is a link (like a thumbnail) it will be the color of your links, which can be changed in the <BODY> tag.
