Official Launch

March 1, 2010 in News by Angler Sites Admin

Today, Angler Sites (http://anglersites.com) has officially launched. Thanks to everyone who has been testing and helped make it a successful launch.

Create your free angler profile and add your favorite fishing photo as your “Avatar”. Add stats and personal information by editing your “Public Profile”. Connect with friends by adding to your “Friends” list. Join a “Group” and communicate in the “Forums”.

For those looking to really market themselves or their group, create a “Blog”. These blogs are very powerful tools powered by Wordpress (the best web content management system available.) Create posts and pages using your own site “Dashboard”. Add images and files to the “Media” library. Create contact forms to help manage tournament registrations and post results using the built in table manager. As always, please contact us for free support to help get your site going.

Angler Sites is run by anglers in an effort to advance the sport of fishing. I personally have been working on the internet for my entire professional career. As the founder of Angler Sites, I’m an avid fisherman and have participated in local and regional bass fishing events including BASS and FLW sponsored tournaments. I ran The Reel Deal, a NC bass fishing club from 2001-2008. As a tournament director, I know how challenging it can be to manage events. Setting up a website is the best way to communicate with members, post a schedule, results and standings.

We will be working to evolve this system to better meet the needs to anglers and fishing groups. We will do our best to map out new features and let folks know when they will be available via our blog.

Thanks and enjoy!
