Announcing - My New Baby

[Scunner]

It has taken me two years of "doing a bit when I can" and finally I have got to a stage where I can open my new website. I have always thought that there is no visitor information website for Fethiye - lots of websites that are old collections of links, and the news sites which do their job well, but not somewhere for first time visitors to read up a bit on what excursions there might be, a few restaurant ideas, or what there is to go out and explore before they arrive in Turkey.

So, now there is  

Please be kind   If you see any glaring errors or mistakes, I'd be grateful for a private message rather than a public humiliation

I think this is wonderful.  I love to read about different places to go and see on the forum and then promptly forget about them.  Everything I want to know in one easy place.  I think we will enjoy that website....
Thank you - now added to my bookmarks!

Looks interesting Keith, which of course, is the idea behind it !! Congratulations, hope it is as much of a success as this Forum is.

So it was you:D

Very impressive - congratulations.

Looks great and I hope it is a great success - is there anything we can do to promote it - send to a friend - like on Facebook etc?

Also in the future is there any chance of putting a gentle reminder to dress with respect for the local culture when visiting sights that are heavily populated by locals (I am sure you could word it better - but it then does our hosts another service and should win plaudits from local officials???)

All the pages have share icons Ian, Facebook - Google +1 and the like. I also mention dressing with respect in the article about Do's & Don'ts. Any pages shared on Facebook help, thanks. It is not a completed website, it never will be. I hope to add more restaurants, places to visit, news articles from around the World and locally all the time. It is not Fethiye Times, nor will it ever be - it is a resource for visitors and hopefully a hub for news and what's on from all available sources

Brilliant!!!!! Love the do's and don'ts. Right to the point. Are web sites you're full time job Scunner?

No, I'm a retired estate agent

I must give great thanks to those I turned to for help  

To JohnF - everyone with an interest and clear ideas of how it should work needs someone to turn to who knows how to make it work - and to tell me when something in my mind simply can't be done - thanks John!

To Colwyn - answered my call to assist with the "Brief History of Fethiye" section, which I wrote completely on my own. Then sent it to Colwyn to check. Then received quite a different document back!!! It was great fun working on it together, my long standing hero raconteur  

To KKOB for permission to include his superb Lycian Way article and photos.

To Jacx for kind permission to plunder her amazing photo collection.

To Julie (jules1), the World's most accurate and tactless proof reader

To SteveB, but he'll need to work out why.

Sorry about that folks, these speeches can be boring
