This week's long awaited site change to use a content management system (CMS) based design culminates over 18 months of work. As site visitors may have noticed, blog entries, updates on the main page and Interstate-Guide, and new content additions trickled down due to the back end work. A lot of back and forth with Matt over at TWCClassics, who helped tremendously with both coding and also teaching, and assistance [...]

Yesterday we completed the merge of all guides formerly on rockymountainroads.com onto AARoads. During this we restructured the directories, and linked most guides to one another for continuity purposes. This is part of our overall goal to restructure the entire AARoads site, and the movement of westcoastroads.com material onto the main site is next.
Somehow our settings for allowing comments required users to be registered with an account on the blog since May 22nd. Unfortunately, we have only caught this error just now, but have now corrected it. Feel free to leave comments on any post.
I've spent the last 6 weeks or so working through a mammoth backlog going back to 2004 in an effort to update existing pages and create new sections of the website. Now online is a fledgling Michigan page with a handful of photos from our Interstate 80 trip in September 2005 and Carter Buchanan's November 2004 Midwest trip. These trips also represent the bulk of the Ohio updates that now [...]
You may have noticed that the AARoads home page looks different or that AARoadtrips now redirects visitors to AARoads. These are a few changes that we have had in the works for a long time now and is part of an overall reorganization that we have wanted. AARoadtrips guides are now split between Mid-Altantic Roads @ AARoads and Midwest Roads @ AARoads. LoneStarRoads is also now again a part of [...]
Unfortunately the servers at the hosting company for AARoads.com and the AARoads Blog went down on Thursday for a period of almost 48 hours. During this shut down, email, blog posts and comments made throughout this week (April 2-6) were lost. Things were restored last evening and hopefully will not undergo such a long down period again. Thanks for bearing with us.
For many years people have wondered for what the AA in AARoads.com stood? Well here's the answer, All About Roads. Our sites strive to cover roads anywhere and everywhere, from future Interstates to rural back roads and everything in between. What started out in 1997 and 1998 respectively grew into an eight-domain website collection covering roads from Hawaii to Maine, from Los Angeles to New York, and more recently from [...]
Well it seems that I have been updating Interstate Guide, Interstate Guide, Interstate Guide. However, there is a light at the end of that tunnel. With the recent completion of Interstate 27 and Interstate 110 in Texas (as well as a picture of an 80 mph speed limit sign in West Texas on Interstate 20, sorry Kevin), it seems like the next stage is to update some photos on some [...]
