HAPPY ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY
EVS-ISLANDS
At 1415 April 2, 2007 my blogsite became one year old. It consists of 296 posts covering a wide variety of topics, most providing details of islands scattered throughout the world.
My mapping skills have improved. I began mapping shorelines only. Yet, I quickly moved to including more and more details. Now, my maps contain upwards of 16-layers of information.
Anytime I mapped a high island, elevation contours were beyond my expertise. Now, using SRTM elevation data and Global Mapper contour-creation module, my maps include elevation contours.
My visitors keep coming back, just under 20,000 this first year. They come from GIS and "arm-chair-traveller" backgrounds. They come from the energy, education, environmental, governmental and private sectors of society. They live in over 152 countries. And they view 100+ pages a day. They seldom criticize and often encourage. Occassionally, they ask to use my data and I always say, "Yes.".
I look forward to another year filled with many more discoveries.
Thanks for your support!
