I’m just back from La Franqui (Leucate, Aude, France), where I’ve done some Blokarting for about 8 days, with my father.

Some numbers:
* total distance: over 1,000 kilometers
* time sailed: about 40 hrs
* maximum speed of 79.8 km/hr.
* flat tires: 4 (1 for me, 3 for my father )
* a dozen of 360’s

It was really wonderful. Sometimes there was no wind, but when the Tramontane came, it was good for 7 to 8 bft.

So if you’d ever need wind and a hard surface, La Franqui will do it

If you’re planning to make a site or already had and want to improve.

To design
The good start is everything. Your users have to be attracted to your site. This means it has to be simple, clearly structured but also a real beauty.
* Adobe Photoshop

To base/slice
Your design has to be converted into a page that works in all browsers. The code should be built up with high feeling for strucure, so your and other webmasters can easy see, adapt or edit it.
* Adobe Dreamweaver

To gain profit
You don’t want to do all this work without getting any profit from it. Advertising is essential for any website!
* Google Adsense

To track
Knowing how much people visiting you, which keywords they use and how this all progresses with time is essential. Know your visitors!
* Google Analytics

To interact
Make sure your users can have a way to respond to your content, you may learn from them. A blog with comments enabled or a board are quite important!
* WordPress
* phpBB
* KolibriCMS

To upload
A small but powerful tool to upload your files to your server is nessecary, of course!
* SmartFTP
* FileZilla

To verify
Make sure your website is completely valid. This will improve your image as a webmaster ánd the readability by different browsers and crawlers!
* W3 Validator
* Jigsaw Validator

To SEO
Proberly the most tricky part; how do I get much traffic from the search engines? You’ll have to read quite a lot on the web, but you’ll find out that it is not thát hard.
* Blogcommentor Lite
* Google for “SEO”
