Dear Member,
Thank you for
your recent registration with your hikes. Since our
launch in March 2005, we have had nearly 100 hikers join our
membership and add over 75 hikes to our database. Your
feedback is greatly appreciated, and we have already made some
changes at the site based on your suggestions. (ie. you are
now able to change both your password and user name from your
member profile.) Any other feedback can be submitted via
this
link. Your suggestions are always welcome.
This newsletter
marks our first quarterly update and I wanted to take this
opportunity to let you know what changes are in store for the
remainder of 2005:
- a search
process by state, trail difficulty, trail distance, or trail
rating
- a “new
additions” button to identify new hikes that are added at
your hikes
- a method to
track the redeemed points from your member profile
- a member
status designation based on points: Member, Bronze, Silver,
Gold, Platinum
- the removal of
the “age’ and “marital status” information on your member profile
- default photos
(if there are none available for your hike)
- an
opt-in/opt-out option for the newsletter
As the
technology and development funds permit, we will continue to
improve the features of the site to make it as user-friendly and
useful as possible. Also, we plan to highlight a member hike
and trip report each quarter. Oshow gets the nod for the
Spring 2005 newsletter with his trip to
Three Rivers Canyon in the White Mountain Wilderness of New Mexico.

New members, I
look forward to reading more about your hikes in the coming
months. Don’t forget to share some details in your member
profile; or, at least tell us the City/State or Province you call
home.
Best Wishes,
BirdShooter
