Backpackers Bulletin Board

BBB is a backpacking and budget traveller's forum - ask for and offer advice about where to go, what to do, and how to get there.

This is a pretty active travel board with a lot of off-topic discussion areas as well. Someday when I have the money I'm going to buy some web hosting - just a single splash page with our name, a (possibly changing weekly) bit of content, maybe along the lines of "Top Ten Travel Destinations in Eastern Europe" or some such thing, and a link to our forum.

I do know it looks quite boring - we have a snazzy new logo courtesy of one of our posters, but I still need to find a place that allows remote hosting so that I can put it up! I also want to change the colors etc. I was thinking of a really simple color scheme maybe based on white, charcoal grey and a bit of red.

Come have a look!

I have now added the Backpackers logo to all the pages. I also changed the color scheme for one of the forums but have left the others as is, since most of our members prefer the white background/blue text because it's easily readable. I'd still like to hange the overall background, but since that's really the only thing I can change it doesn't leave me much scope for creativity

I'd appreciate any comments about the layout - I'd like to get it sorted in the next few days since I've got a bit of time to work on it right now.

Wow... that's actually helpful to ME, lol, and I have never gotten out of the country. I'm interested in Halliburton, the company working overseas. My boyfriend wants to travel to Iraq or Afghanistan ("Wherever there's heat" - his words) to be a mechanic, and I've been studying Arabic for two years... I'd love to get in the middle of it.

Come on over and post any questions you've got about it on the Middle East forum - we've got a poster who speaks fluent Arabic (I think he may teach it as well), who's worked extensively in the Middle East and knows a lot about the situation over there right now.

Wow, I'm learning Arabic actually. It's an incredible language. I've also got a boyfriend over in Iraq, so now you've definately got my heads up.
