    Mongrel Motorsports I think I started this way back when to showcase our first Challenge car build but it kind of morphed into something else. Once I got the hang of it, I actually enjoyed building it. I haven't added much new content recently but I do maintain it with occasional updates and dumping some of the parts that don't get any hits. It's a nice way to host my photos and refer people to certain things I've done on other message boards. Keeps me from having to write the same stuff over and over. I wrote it in a bit of a 'simple' style so everyone could grasp it. I normally don't write my text in such an elementary fashion.

    Misfit Toys Racing is my main site, mostly a running log of cars I own or have owned, and BABE rally trip reports through the years.

    South Jersey Studebaker Drivers Club is one I own and maintain for the club.

    Between Facebook and Flickr, I don't seem to have any need for a personal website.

    When I was raicing each car had it's own page. (3 of them) now After I sold the cars (for the adoption my wife and I did) I let them all expire.

    You can see a web page for the family dog though :)

    My son made me a website but being an old dinosaur I have to have him put all pictures on it. He changed to different something to make it easier for me to add things but then never showed me how to do it. The site has most of the cars I've had since 2000 and a few older pictures of things from the past. The 07 and 12t trucks and the 29 car belong to friends. The rest can be blamed on not having as many cars as I wanted as a teenager and the fact that my wife is a total enabler.

    Well, this is what I do for a living, since I'm a computer systems consultant. And although it's not specifically car related, it is highway and travel information. And yes, I got paid for it. British Columbia Highway Conditions

    I started this with a buddy over the winter. We have a few good photographers post in the pics section. The club members like to see their pics.

    I have mine on Homestead.com. No HTML, completely moron-friendly which is why it works for me. Just type, drop-n-drag stuff. They have a lot of elements you can add to jazz it up more than my site is. Costs me about $100 year to own it.

    Word makes some ungainly and incredibly bloated HTML code. I looked at your "heart transplant" update page, for example, and viewing source code showed that what could have been done with about a dozen lines of HTML was a huge page of bizzare formatting done by Word.

    MS Frontpage used to generate similar code, back in pre-2000 days, which is when I was coding it directly in Notepad. But since then, it generates code that is as clean as doing it directly in a text editor, so it's what I use now (Frontpage 2003). I've tried a lot of different HTML generators, and amazingly, it's one of the best out there. We're going to be getting MS Expression Web shortly (the replacemetn for Frontpage) so I'll see if MS has managed to mess up one of their best bits of software...

    Opus, check out NVU. The old netscape web page builder was spun off and became NVU. It's free, and pretty nice for what it is.

    Personally, I like Coda, just because I like having my editor, FTP, terminal and other stuff rolled all into one program. More efficient. But really, what matters is the HTML you write, not what you use to write it.
