What changes, and Why Now?

What are you doing to your web-site, / web-pages, why now, and AAHAHRHEHERHFAFGGG??????????

This web-site takes a 'turn' (we hope for the better) from previous web-page-outlines / arrangements.

One of the things I've attempted to do, in the past, is to get a better handle on who likes to view what parts of the web-page(s) and where the different 'focus' areas of our web-page(s) are most 'relevant' to what readers ???

ONE way I'm going to attempt to do this in the future, is to re-organize the web-page into 'subject-specific-pages'

- that is when you come to our  (BeachWeb) web-page in the future, if you're interested in "Bird and Plant Pictures" for instance, there will be a link for you to click-on to get to the 'bird and plant pictures' (maybe bird, plant, and shrubery or something like that)... 

If you're interested in sailing / kiteboarding / hang-gliding pictures (sports things) there will be a link for that.

If you're interested in house, school, yard, cat and other domestic things - there will be a link for that, too. 

Several 'goals' are here to 'exploit'

1.) I hope to provide the user - viewer with a more 'concise' way to view our 'content' (that is if you're not interested in bird-plant pictures but are interested in sports - then I hope to give you a more direct methodology to get to the sports - and vice-versa.

2.) I hope (eventually) to learn something about and start to use "CSS" (Cascading Style Sheets) - which may or may not make a lot of difference to the user - viewer but it will help me learn something new.  I've found two books at the library - and I'll work through these and work on some examples and so-forth.  The two books are:
3.) in the 'Short Term' (probably through the summer of 2007) I hope to learn a LOT MORE about how my user - viewer community uses my web-pages - via something called 'Google Analytics' which enchances my ability to obtain and view web-page & click & time statistics...  One of the main ways that Google does this is that I run a tiny little Java Script in each of my ...html files: - here's the Java-code for your reference (this assumes you know how to read Java-code.
SO - Now - some will ask:   WHY all this 'stuff' when you're in Hong Kong (Saturday, 28th April through Tuesday, 8th May, 2007)  on your 'supposed' holiday?

Why - because I have had a chance to cuss and dis-cuss, at length, and in (all the gorey detail you are not interested in) all this 'stuff' with Mr._Nick_Foxall, one of my oldest and best friends - who does web-stuff for a 'living' (and he's pretty good at it too). So my conversations with him have stimulated my interest in getting this stuff done - something I've wanted to do for a LONG (LONG) TIME - like I've wanted to do this for well over a year, but I've been 'procrastinating'.
