My Geocoin Collection

For awhile now I have been struggling on how to keep track of my geocoin collection. I had different lists going (in Excel) but I wanted an easy way to put them up on the web for others to browse. Of course, there are a few really good sites out there where you can create and post your lists but they either cost money, aren't accepting new collectors (why?? weird) or don't show pictures. I have a bit of skill in designing webpages and doing some simple html coding but I needed a spot to do it.

So I found Google Sites. Of course, I am a "google girl" - I have a few gmail accounts, a blog, a few online documents, etc. so it was natural that I would use them for my collection site. This is actually kind of neat because you can create a website with very little experience. It's easy to use and looks good. There are not tons of options for customizing but that's ok because I did all the coding off-line and uploaded it myself in html view. There are some tags that Google Sites doesn't recognize but for the most part, it works really well.

I am even able to put up pictures of my coins and links to my activated coins, profile, this blog etc. If you would like to take a look at my collection (please do!) then click here. Should you want to create your own and need some advice/help, please let me know!
