In the meantime, you are likely to see large and small elements of the overall page design change from one visit to the next as we experiment to find a suitable, organized, easy to read layout with a pleasing color scheme.

As far as what type of content will be featured here, the best answer for now is a little bit of everything. We will discuss things we like, things we don’t like, and we will be seeking your comments on all of them. We are assembling a categorized list of links to some of our favorite informational Web sites and items of local interest for people around the world. Since we enjoy taking pictures, expect to eventually see lots of photographs and photo galleries on the site as well – the image accompanying this post was taken during the blizzard of 2010 in Maryland as a test filler, but we will be posting more before too long.

Of course, with a name like Toadlips.com, we will also be offering our viewpoints on some of the many things in this world that simply don’t make sense… and that number of nonsensical things seems to grow more quickly as one’s hair turns gray… or maybe it’s just the observations of a cynical old guy.

Anyway, until the next post, here are a few things to ponder:

• Objective Opinion
• Scientific Consensus
• Conditionally Pre-approved
• Freezer Burn
• Hot Chili
• Final Draft
• New and Improved
• Doing Nothing
• Sure Bet
• Concrete Pad
• Hot Water Heater
• This Page Intentionally Left Blank

Toadlips.com was created many years ago as sort of a catch-all Web site. It was used to provide donated server space for local community organizations to host small amounts of content. The idea, at the time, was to use a quirky, easy to remember name that could be used for posting a variety of family friendly content; something that would catch one’s attention and instill some curiosity — what was that goofy name again?

This domain name has served as a repository for information about the Hereford High School PTSA Post Prom Party, a way to distribute photos of the Youth Theater of Northern Baltimore County cast & crew, as a beta development and design testing site for clients of my Web development company (gs design, inc.), and as a place for our own children to post school computer projects.

As the World Wide Web has matured over time, so too have the people and organizations who once benefited from this site. Some have since developed their own sites, some are using social networking sites to share content, and our children have grown up. So, it is time to re-purpose this site and begin something new… maybe even earning a few dollars to pay for college;-)
