La Posta - Azul..a little help needed for Pollo
 

Many of you know Pollo (Jorge)at La Posta in Azul and many of us have been on the receiving end of his friendship and generosity.
So here´s the question......we are helping Pollo put together a website for La Posta where he can share all his news.
For La Posta money is always tight so does anyone know of an individual or firm that can donate between 30 - 50 mb of space on a server where we would like to host www.laposta.com

We have spoken to Pollo about subdomains but he is quite keen to have his own domain name. After 15 years of hosting and acommodating travellers for free we don´t think its too much to ask!
We are in Azul for another few days so if someone can come back to us ASAP we could organise this for Pollo.
many thanks

Hi,

I might be able to help.

First of all, I'm sorry but I am not familiar with La Posta, where is it? I tried the link you posted but got an error. Could you send me more info?

Thanks,

Giampaulo

oh and BTW, i was reading your diaries but there are no entries for 2006 (maybe I missed it). How's Simon doing?

Hope you guys are ok.

Hola Lisa and Simon,

Pollo got a website

http://www.gratisweb.com/viajero_en_moto/

it is not up to date ... and of course it would be better for him to have his own domain.

sorry, but I cant help with that, my computer crashed today and I cant start him anymore, now I use my girlfriends laptop ... and I dont know much about computers and websites anyway.

enjoy the Posta and stay for some time, practice your spanish and go for some rides around the area.

saludos a pollo y monika, hasta mas tarde

Can't help you with the computer side, but didn't PatonTrip (KLR Montreal) make a site for Pollo already under HU? I understand the request for his own domain name, can it just be cut and pasted to a new domain? I am in for anything that can be put together for Pollo and Moni.
La Posta is worth its weight in gold. Or yerba.

Simon use the space in our new web ,you know better than us how to do it

Hi all,

thank you all so much for your information and suggestions. We have now however been able to host Pollo`s new website gratis from Patrick Schweizer who is here from Germany at the moment with his brother Yannick, in La Posta.

The website will be uploaded as
www.laposta-azul.com and we hope to have this available for veiwing in the next couple of days.

We know that Pollo is greatful for the previous web pages he has had but as we were here in Azul he was keen to be able to have his own domain which also meant that we could arrange for a selection of some of his hundreds of photos to be placed on his new site. Unfortunately we were unable to use the subdomain of Javier and Sandra new site without making the name too complicated!

We will make sure that the information on his previous pages is used in the new site and he will still be using his horizons information page!

Simon and I are doing fine at the moment, really enjoying our stay with Pollo and our previous time in Dakarmotos BA.
(BTW Pollo is in Azul which is about 300km south of BA on Ruta 3)We will be heading south ASAP.

Simon is pleased that you like the new Dakamotos.com website and says thank you for your favourable comments! Lets hope you like Pollo`s when you get to see it!

regards

Hi guys,
I have no ideas about a website, but I just looked at the bulletib board and I was surprised to read something about AZUL!!!
Because I was there about ten years ago on my Tenere - it was the best time of my life! I slept there in december and I came back on the easter meeting - it was great!!! Definitely a must on a South America Trip! Un asado de puta madre!!!
Ahhhhhh - quiero volver.......

El Aleman - Jens Say hello to everybody!

Hi,

Grant and I helped Pollo last year to have a webpage on HU. The link is http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/community/azul/ and you have other links on the right of the page to see more information.

I saw some are making a new webpage for him. Good! But the mean point here is to teach him how to make changes on his webpage by himself. Otherwise he will have a new website every year!!!

Patrick (KLR650)

Hi Patrik
Nice to read you. I’m agree with you, but I know Simon, and I’m sure he has the tools to help Pollo any time he need even when he were far. Also he was teaching me how to make changes and work on the website and of course I receive help from him.. So, Pollo is not alone if Simon can’t help him, I can try.(we visit him at least 2 times in a year.). Take a lot of time teach some one to make his oun page , more if you has to learn it from someone who doesn’t speak your language and if you don’t know too much about computers. It’s hard, believe me.
If someone can teach him great but since that happens, I think is the only option.

Hi Sandra!

If Simon has the tool. Great!!! Pollo deserve the BEST!!!

Maybe we will see us again. My Brasil stamp in my passport has expired. I don't know how much time it will take to the Police of Brasil to throw me out of the country. I still want to visit the north-east of Brasil. Hope they will catch me only in a few months!!!

See you Sandra,
Patrick

Hi Pat!
If you are coming here to see Pollo, hurry up!!! He’s going to Europe on August See the other post: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb...ML/000930.html
Anyway we will be waiting for you here in BA in our new Shop/Travellers home. See our New Website for addresses
And maybe here you can help us with the Pollo Site
See you son
