Just wanted to drop a quick note and encourage people to check out the main site here at bikepacking.net.  The forums are where most of the action is here, but there's some great content on the wordpress site, and hopefully it is better organized now.

I've been working to give the wordpress side a much needed refresh, and hopefully one that will encourage more people to submit trip reports, personal setups and the like.

Trip reports are now organized into region, and a few cases by trail (such as AZT/CT).

There's a slider to feature the most recent -- also one on the main landing page.  So anything you post will be featured for some time on the main page.

Personal setups have some sub-categories for type (e.g. singletrack v dirt roads).

One new feature is a list of content by author:

This can also serve as a good blog list or links to other sites.  So if you have a wordpress acct, please consider filling out your profile a bit and especially listing your blog.  Clicking on a user gives all of their posts, which is another nice little feature.

Also if you have an account, please double check category assignments for any of your posts.  I assigned many of them to the new sub categories, but might have made mistakes or missed others.

In general you should see images for everything now, which makes it a lot easier to see what you're getting.

As always, let me know if you notice anything amiss or have any suggestions.

Thanks guys.  The site is already a great resource -- let's see if we can keep it going and make it better!

Those improvements make the Wordpress content much more usable!
