Melloblocco and Val di Mello: how to participate in 9b online bouldering "topo guide"

[9b]

In 9b online bouldering "topo guide" everybody can:
- start a new discussion
- participate in already started conversations

To avoid confusions and help who wants to participate, the following INSTRUCTIONS are just a proposal and we can always discuss about them together in this topic.

Discussions can refer to:


1) the whole bouldering AREA.
In this case we can share not only the general informations, for example the logistic aspects, but first of all our personal EXPERIENCES, OPINIONS, our COMMENTS and ANECDOTES.

2) a specific SECTOR
In this case, our personal COMMENTS can refer, for example, to the atmosphere, the natural contest, ...
The more impersonal and objective INFORMATIONS could regard the access (and eventual connected problems), the number of the boulders, ...

Note: the discussion referred to the whole bouldering area doesn't comprise the separated discussions referred to the single sectors.


3) a specific bouldering LINE, that we and /or other climbers climbed.
In this case too it could be fun to share esperiences and personal sensations, our opinions related to the beauty of the line, its phisic and mental difficulty, ... together with more technical informations, for example that stone gps details.

Note: the discussion referred to a specific bouldering sector doesn't comprise the separated discussions referred to the single lines.


If You want to start a discussion to dedicate to a specific boulder, please before ceck if someone else already did it.
If not, as title, please write:
" name of the line-boulder, name of the sector ". Thank You in advance.

Every discussion, referred to the area, a sector and/or a single boulder, is a kind of article written from many authors, where everybody can participate sharing something of him/herself: an image, a text comment, a video or a link.

In every discussion we can share:

* TEXT

* PHOTOS

We can upload one or more photos directly from our computer:

In this case, to not slow down web pages loading, when we add photos in a discussion, is definitely better using "OPTIONS": it's important to check off "create thumbnail" and write a width not more than 700 pixels.

You can watch this full screen VIDEO tutorial.

If You check off "Popup Window" too, You let readers view the full-size version of the image.
After that, to click "Add", may be You need to press "Ctrl" and at the same time "-".

In this full screen VIDEO tutorial You can watch the result.

In discussions we can add images from photos sharing sites as Flickr, copying and pasting the code (as we do with youtube videos, for example):

To convert photos in video with audio too, to realize slideshows with "embeddable" code (that You can copy and paste), You can use this tool or, better but a little more complicated, Animoto.


* VIDEOS

To add vides in discussion pages, just copy and paste the code of the video.

We can copy that code both from video platforms, such as Youtube, Vimeo, ..., and from 9b site, after having uploaded on 9b our video il nostro video directly from our computer:

If we want to paste just a specific section of a YouTube video, we can use Tubechop.

Note:
a sector is not just many stones together, is not just rock, as maybe a boulder line could be.
A sector is also the NATURE around the rocks: meadows, mountains, woods, ...
It's the perfect "middle" between the whole Melloblocco bouldering area and the single line.
To describe a sector with photos and videos just of the boulders is not enough to answer more general questions, such as:
- which is the "soul", the atmosphere of that sector ?
- which is the geo-localization of that sector inside the whole bouldering area ?
