Thanks so much for doing this, guys! I voted. I'd also like to volunteer my help and time to keep making this the best there is. Please feel free and PM me if anyone needs anything or any help.

Thanks for the support ladies and gentleman. I know what I'm trying to organize I will need help from others. I will certainly be keeping you posted.

Out of professional curiosity, besides the forum, does the site rely on a database for structure or anything or is it more a collection of static pages pointed at each other? The number of pages suggest static pages.
I am a fairly young programmer who works mainly with sites of a model-view-constructor base. I was wondering because from a maintentance and ease of change standpoint it'd be nice to be more database dependent, but I understand it has a significant time investment for setup.

Many thanks to Patrick, Phil and anyone else (at BHE and not) putting such a great effort to keep Wu's Feet Links not only alive, but kicking! I was glad to cast my vote in the poll. My IT expertise is sub-zero, but as a talent-scout/shooter I'd really be interested in a revived Hall of Fame (great idea, Patrick! ). I will obviously be glad to showcase my best models in the "contributions" section.. I have some new BAREFOOT NUDITY models that IMMO are worth it.. My best wishes for success, and many thanks again to everybody!
quote:One thing I've also been thinking of is redesigning the Hall of Fame page. Maybe update it with the entries that have been inducted, but include a 2014 induction of Wu, himself. No one else goes in, at least this year.
Now, I LOVE that idea.

To me the contribution pages are the most important. I always felt a "Links Site" is a source for new places to go on the WWW ! My browser automatically sizes the images to fill the screen. I like the idea of a slideshow, but the ones I have seen didn't have that feature. Either way, the Contribution Page is important to me.

I will also miss Wu, although I know his Links are in good hands. I first got on the WWW in 1996, and after a couple months and learning what I was doing, I bookmarked about 6 or 7 Foot Links. After a year or so, it was down to Wu's. It was all I needed and I'm still here. Thank You Wu !

We are working as hard as possible on getting the contribution set function live again. I just reworked the display to make it more uniform and added back the sets that were posted in 2003 and 2004. We will keep the format of a post as it is now where you click on a thumb to see the full-size picture and click or backspace back to the thumbnails to select the next picture.
I am working on adding a contribution page to collect the text input and an upload function similar to the uploader used on Shutterfly.
I know it is important, and I'll get it live as soon as we can get it in place and tested. I'm sorry it has taken this long so I'll quit typing and keep working on it [smile]!

Phil, we all understand. It's never easy to go into someone else's site, especially one that might not be done the way you'd do it, and have an easy time with it.

There wasn't a question allowing for comments, so I wanted to post one here, if it is OK.
I think I'd visit the forum a lot more if it were not white print on black background. That really gives me a headache.

The Contribution tool is now in place. Please upload only .jpg files. Picture sets that are a multiple of 4 pictures [ie. 4, 8, 12, etc] will provide a balanced posting set of thumbnails.
The link to the contribution tool is at the top of the contribution page and I hope the instructions are complete enough that the process will be easy for all contributors.
Contribution sets will no longer be posted on only Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but instead will be posted as they arrive!
If you have questions please contact me at the number below.

Yeah, that's been a staple for Wu's Feetlinks since the beginning of time. I, however, when setting up the Interviews/Columns Blogs decided to have the text areas white with black text instead. I'm sure this can be changed. Maybe a black background, but where the reading areas are, white background with black text?

Black background is fine...easier on the eyes. Kind of why Android phones are better than iPhones...easier to read. Plus I think Wu kept it that way for a reason as well.
