3 Cool New Web Sites

It’s time to take a look at some cool new web sites that we have recently found. This time we’ve found something for the hikers out there (I am one of you, so I love this one), something for the web design amateurs (I’m there too), and one for the weather geeks (that’s me too).
AllTrails
AllTrails, is a new hiking web site which is still in Beta. It allows you find and save trails. You can keep a list of the ones you’ve hiked and a wish list of ones you want to do in the future. I also provides list of events in your area and let’s you give reviews of the hikes you have done. You can search for trails in any area. It’s still new, and the list of trails is still a little light, especially in some areas. But it’s off to a good start so I expect new trails and locations to be added at a pretty quick pace. They are also a partner of Facebook (you can sign-up with Facebook Connect) so that should help them grow quickly.
CoolTempate
CoolTemplate is a great new web app for building web templates for HTML, WordPress, Joomla and ASP.net. It’s a simple interface that allows you to create a template for you web technology of choice. I would expect more differnet types of templates to be added as time goes by. Be aware that the templates are not compatible with Internet Explorer 6, but hopefully all of you are off of that. Although, I know many businesses are still using IE6.
The service is completely free. The site does have ads, but we all have bills to pay.
Weather Vortex
Weather Vortex is neat site for all of the weather buffs and would-be meteorologists out there. It’s great source for looking up something you have seen and wanted to know more about – like a particularly weird cloud type. They have great info on the hows and whys of tornadoes as well as spectacular pictures of them. The pictures are particularly fun to look at. It’s fun to just browse around, even when you aren’t looking for anything particular.
