Help out by voting for Athlinks in the Open Web Awards. We have made the final cut, so we just need your votes now. We don't normally submit to contests, but the Open Web Awards were a big success last year and we thought we'd take part in the second annual. Please take a moment and nominate Athlinks.

In my experience with Running races (the few that i have done) they (i-pods) have turned the field into a roller derby. Every 10 meters you get a virtually impenetrable wall of pod-zombies jamming to WHAM! You try to go left a ...

Hi Troy,I tried to add an RSS feed to my blog ((Click for the Link ...) but when I tried to save I got an error.  Would I be able to use this function to create a tab and post thumbnails of some of our designs?PaulOriginal Message:Oh - great point on the duplicate store. We automatically create manufacturers so that people can add "nike" and the like before Nike comes in and sets up shop. We'll fix that today to allow that to be claimed - that will fix the problem.I'll look into the transparency issue on the PNG. Off the top of my head, i think that the imaging control converts to jpg when resizing. I'll see if we can avoid that in the future. It might be possible.Do you guys have any photos, video or RSS feeds for the shop? We have just added the "Feature" control for the affiliate pages. If you look up Windy City Sports in the group directory, you can see what it does. It's a great way to get a bunch of content to the top of your company's profile page. It's beta right now and not very well documented, but it should be pretty easy to step through.Feel free to give me a call at 602-430-0237 if you need a hand.TroyOriginal Message:Hi Troy,That's fast response!  I was trying to delete an image from a gear item I was adding.  It looks like the system didn't like a transparent .png file, as it replaced the transparency with black.  I tried to delete that several times, got the same error each time.I also discovered that by adding a gear item before adding my store, that I couldn't add my store as it looked to the system as a duplicate.  I added my business as Family Fan Club - Online Store to get around the error, but now I have two stores in the directory.PaulOriginal Message:Hey Paul. I see that you just received an error on the Gear worksheet.Can you tell me what happened? Were you removing a photo or adding a new gear item with photos?Troy

Hi Troy, Athlinks is really cool, Facebook/Myspace for athletes.  Regarding Family Fan Club, you can read about how it started here.  Over the last year, in my spare time, I've been putting up designs that support athletes and recently started doing some designs inspired by pop culture, like I need more cowbell and It's business time.  It's been a lot of fun.  I'm by no means a graphic artist, but aspiring to be one.  I found triathlons last year (why I tri part 1 and part 2) and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner, it's a blast.  I have a blog that I write about my training and race reports here.  I'm back of the pack racer, but really enjoy getting in shape, being healthy and just trying to live a healthy / active lifestyle.I just put up a new website and looking to get the word out and some traffic for the holidays.Let me know if you'd like to chat more.Paul

Hi Troy,  My name is Victor Reyes. How are you? doing? It seems that I created two manufacturing companies when I added their products that I own on the site. I like to know how I can add a picture to their extended group page so the page can look better. Thanks for your time.                                                                - Victor
