This Week’s Tweak — Databases 4

In an effort to continually improve and expand the offerings on The Gondola Project, each week we’re rolling out a “tweak” to the site. If there’s a part of the website you’d like to see “tweaked” send us an email at gondola (at) creativeurbanprojects (dot) com.

Last week we told you a about the continually expanding Systems Index page. And this week we’ve added even more systems to the page!

You can check it out here, or from the Learn About Cable Transit tab in the header.

Last week we introduced the Systems Index page. This week we’ve begun adding systems to the page. This will be a multi-week process and soon it will be a complete index of all the systems that have appeared in posts on the site.

You can access the page from here, or from the Learn About Cable Transit tab in the header.

This Week’s Tweak — Databases 2

In an effort to continually improve and expand the offerings on The Gondola Project, each week we’re rolling out a “tweak” to the site. If there’s a part of the website you’d like to see “tweaked” send us an email at gondola (at) creativeurbanprojects (dot) com.

This week we continue the overhaul of our “database” pages. For starters, we’ve created a new page called System Index, in which we will index all the cable systems that have been discussed in past posts. Please note that this will be an on going project and has only just begun. Right now the only information collected has been transfered directly from the Systems We’re Following page. This is the page where we follow systems through the proposal, planning, and construction phases. The only problem was that there was no where to put this information once the system was built — hence the creation of the System Index page!

Another re-organizational tweak this week was the shifting of the image-based collections (Photo Essays and Video Galleries) to the Image Gallery tab in the header. These pages are now found alongside the Flickr Gallery page in the drop down menu.

Over the next few weeks we hope to see these databases, especially the new Index page, continue to grow. As always, more tweaks next week!

This Week’s Tweak — Databases

This week we’ve begun a major update of our “database” pages. Basically these are the pages in the Learn About Cable Transit category in which we have organized many of our past posts. Since we post everyday the information piles up quickly. This week we’ve updated the “Systems We’re Following” page. This is the page where we follow cable systems that are going through the proposal, planning, and construction phases.

You may notice that several of the featured systems on this page have been completed and are now operational. We noticed this, too. But that is another tweak for another week.

This Week’s Tweak — The Counter!

Remember when after we hit 1000 days this would happen:

Well, not any more. (Count it!)

In an effort to continually improve and expand the offerings on The Gondola Project, each week we’re rolling out a “tweak” to the site. If there’s a part of the website you’d like to see “tweaked” send us an email at gondola (at) creativeurbanprojects (dot) com.

 

The tech update series continues this week with the addition of the new Funitel page.

In case you forgot, funitels are those crazy two-arm, single-cable, detachable-grip gondolas. You can find the link here, or on the Learn the Basics listed under Learn About Cable Transit in the header menu.

The other tech pages that were recently updated include the MDG, BDG, Aerial Tram, and 3S.

This Week’s Tweak — Learn the Basics page

In an effort to continually improve and expand the offerings on The Gondola Project, each week we’re rolling out a “tweak” to the site. If there’s a part of the website you’d like to see “tweaked” send us an email at gondola (at) creativeurbanprojects (dot) com.

This week we updated the Learn the Basics page so that it is spiffier then ever and easier to follow. (So, while the specific “Learn About Cable” pages may not all be up yet, the index for them now is!)

You can check out the Learn the Basics page here, or from the header menu under Learn About Cable Transit.
