For those of you who want to be able to share your triathlon stories with the world, go to triathletesonline.com. They have several templates to choose from and you simply add pictures, race reports, etc. No technical knowledge needed.
Heather Gollnick and Bruce Gennari use them, you can find links to their site at triathles online homepage. I’ve been using them for 2 months now and it’s a great way to keep my friends and family, scattered all over the country, informed. By the way, I’m in no way affiliated with these people, I just think it’s a cool idea
Free is good. But $9.99/month is only ike 7 GUs.
Blogs cost no $$, and you can post all the pictures and stories you like.
Also, I’m not sure if it’s worth $10/month for a site you could build yourself in a couple of hours and store on your own space(if you have cable or DSL, or even a dailup, you probably have 10MB available with your ISP).
This is probably best for people with little or no technical background who want a basic web site devoted to their athletic endeavor.

That price is not good at all. Most ISPs offer some sort of quick easy template and WAY more features than that for less money. Both of my web sites are with http://www.ipowerweb.com
They offer a free domain name, 400 personal email addresses, 800 meg of storage space, 40 gig of transfer, MySQL and PHP support, and a ton more for only 7.95 a month! Check 'em out if you’re really interested in a good deal on web space. I’ve been with them for almost a year and have had excellent service since the day I signed up.
I just checked out www.triathletesonline.com and it seems perfect. I’m not a very technical person and don’t really want to get into the details of web hosting. I’ve never created a website before. Seems like this is very easy to use and I’m willing to pay the extra $2 to get the peace of mind. Also, the person I talked to there seems very nice and actually knows what a triathlon is all about!
yeah, jen is really cool. we’ve emailed back and forth quite a bit as i was putting my site up. let us know when yours is up so we can check it out.
