Blog RSS

I have updated the RSS feed on the blog to use Feedburner. I am still working through a couple kinks with it. I am having trouble getting it to recognize the blog’s title. If you could, please unsubscribe to your current RSS feed and resubscribe via the link to the right. Hopefully the feed title issue will be working within the next few hours.

Another great feature is the fact you can now subscribe to the Outdoorzy.com blog via email. Once you do that you will receive daily emails of the posts that appear here. If you don’t use RSS readers this is a great way to stay on top of the news posted on the blog.

Thanks!

Moosejaw has a Present, Jibstyle!

If you haven’t ever shopped at Moosejaw, you’re missing out. Not only do they have outdoor gear and trendy clothes at a fair price, but they’ll treat you well too. And maybe make you laugh in the process. They always have something humorous in their emails and on their site and they are a pleasure to deal with.

Now they’re showing some love to you guys, the Outdoorzies. Moosejaw is offering Outdoorzy members 15% off at Moosejaw and 5% additional off anything that’s already on sale. All you need to do is use the code “Jibstyle” at checkout to get the deal. The offer excludes current North Face, Arcteryx, Merrell, Burton, Bugaboo, Suunto and Western Mountaineering products, but everything else on the site is fair game. Stay tuned as well, we’ll be working with these guys soon to give away some free gear over at Myspace. Check our myspace page out ova here. And their myspace out ova here.

We just want to say thanks to Moosejaw for hooking us up. Now, I suggest you head over to their site and get ready for some outdoor fun this fall. I think I might have to get me a little somethin-somethin over there. Wait I’ve been looking at the pics on their profile page here too much…

An Idea for Your Adventure To Do List

Some of you may have seen this already, but we added a “To Do List” as an option on your profile pages. We all have thought about the “things we have to do before we croak”. So why not put them down on your profile so you can start checking them off. Just click on “My Profile” in the upper right-hand corner on Outdoorzy, then click “To Do List” on the list of options to edit on the left. You can also check the items off as you get them done! Se my profile page and look in the lower left to see what a To Do list looks like when it’s finished.

If you’re at a loss for things to put on your To Do List, here is a cool idea…

Image upload issues

Just an FYI - our image uploading process is currently down. See this related post for more info. So no profile, trip report, gear, classified images until:
1. our hosting company gets a clue and figures out the problem
2. I spend the weekend re-writing code that worked 2 days ago
3. Wade and I make Emile manually upload & resize all images.

After talking to 2 people in support that are “looking in to it”, I’m not holding my breath for option 1. And option 3 would be funny for a while, but we’ll probably have to go with option #2.

I need a raise!

Site Down Time

I wanted to apologize for the site down time. Our site is on a shared server at our hosting company. Dedicated servers would be nice, but they are VERY expensive. Sorry for the problems, they assure us that the issue should be fixed soon.
We eventually plan on moving to dedicated servers and problems like this should basically be a thing of the past. Thanks for sticking it out with us!

Outdoorzy-mobile

This post has little relevance to the outdoor sports world, and little relevance to this website. But it’s something interesting… to me anyway.

I was purchasing a car this weekend and finally narrowed my decision down to the Pontiac Vibe… made by Toyota… yeah, don’t ask me. I picked it for its fuel efficiency, utility, features, etc. Now the hard part, picking the color. With choices like “Midnight Black”, “Caribbean Blue”, and “Pine Green”… what to choose??? Well “Outdoorzy Orange” of course!

This is a stock photo, not an actual picture. I only wish my house was that colorful…
