Thanks for getting back to me…

Yeah I was talking about the map images. Did you do them by hand or did you have some sort of software to help?

I was looking at doing maps for presentations in my previous job and all I eventually found was http://www.curious-software.com/ - but this looked slightly too much for me.

Alternatively I looked at using something using http://www.world66.com/myworld66/visitedCountries but I wasn’t so enamoured of the quality.

So I just wondered what your solution was.

Really nice website! Especially with the muddy face photo on the first page :-)

Andy: The ‘where am I?’ graphics are displayed based on a bunch of logic statements in the template which displays the graphic based on a dropdown that my brother changes manually. So, a bit labour intensive in terms of producing all the graphics.

What images are you talking about? The maps?

How are you doing the ‘Where am I?’ graphic? Are you doing something based on dates and the itinery or does it manually change based on your brother’s input?

Also where do you get the images themselves?

I have a couple of friends who are off on long trips - might be worth doing something similar…

Great job. I like it a lot. I am really starting to dig greys and whites lately.
