So I’ve decided that rather than futzing around with a map (and my spellchecker liked “futzing.” Who knew?) I’d just copy the list from the city website. And messing with the list makes me think that maybe futzing with a map would be easier. Dear God.
Ultimately, once I remove all of the formatting and the extraneous stuff like addresses and photos, I’ll maybe bold the ones I’ve been to and change the colors of the ones I’ve written up? Or maybe pretend I’m using a highlighter and turn the ones I’ve been to blue and the ones I’ve written up green or purple? Or maybe use pink and orange, so that it looks less like links. I think I like that.
So ultimately,
Friedrich Wilderness Park
Will turn into
Friedrich Wilderness Park
once I’ve visited it and
Friedrich Wilderness Park
once I’ve written it up?
Should I pick a different shade of orange?
Friedrich Wilderness Park
Yeah. I like that darker orange better.
Now, once I’ve cleaned up the list what should I do with it? For reasons I don’t understand, school playgrounds are on the list now — this makes me a bit nervous since, well, school property. I think I’ll remove them from the list as I go.
Should I put them on my “about” page? Add a new “about”-type page for this list? Make it a blog post with a special tag?
I think that probably the new “about”-type page would be best so that *I* can find the list pretty easily. I don’t want to lose it and then have to recreate it again.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go remove photos from the “L”s.
P.S. It just hit me. Once I’ve finished this list and all of them are orange, I’ll have to go back through the official city list because I’m pretty sure that they’ll’ve added new parks in the however-long it takes me to go through the whole list.
This is what’s known as job security. Or would be, if I were making any money from this yet.
