Boat show info, and a new look to the blog

boatshowIf you’re a regular here you already know what I am about to tell you: There’s a new look to this blog. We are also in the process of launching a completely redesigned Roanoke.com, too.

Click HERE to check out the beta site for the Outdoors portal.

The site remake has been a massive undertaking. There will still be some glitches. If you find one, or if you have any feedback, you can go HERE to submit it. Or you can click on the yellow “feedback” tab you see over on the right.

Speaking of feedback, I learned this morning about two glitches in my note in today’s Roanoke Times column about this weekend’s Roanoke Boat Show. It turns out that not all dealers from last year are back, but the show website wasn’t updated to reflect the departure of Ace Marine until today. Also, the Free Friday promotion is in its third year, not second as I wrote. Time flies, huh?

About this blog

Mark Taylor.

While growing up in rural Southern Oregon, Mark Taylor developed a passion for the outdoors while he and his younger brother tagged along with their father on fishing, hunting and camping adventures.

Graduating from Northwestern University in 1988, Taylor spent four years as an officer in the U.S. Navy based in Norfolk before moving into journalism.

After five years writing about the military for a Norfolk-based publishing company, he became the outdoors editor at The Roanoke Times in 1998. He lives in Roanoke with his wife and twin daughters.
