My site - 30 things to do before you're 30

gatzi · 20 Oct 2011 at 13:26

This is just somthing to keep me going for the next year in my personal life (and at work!).

First effort at this really. I'm sure you have some comments on how I can improve it.

The banner was made in Powerpoint but doesn't come up anywhere near as good when on the site. A lot of quality lost, any tips?

Bit of a beginner, advice appreciated

Love these kind of lists. Best of luck in getting all of them done!

For the banner I'd suggest a Photoshop like program. There are plenty of free alternatives around now too

Great idea, already started thinking like this myself even at 26, I tend to be hard on myself though.

Less than a year to do some of that stuff seems a little too optimistic though, massive props if you manage it! Personally it would take me a year just to train for #2 - Complete an Olympic length triathlon #3 - Run a marathon lol.

It's really got me motivated making the site. Good to have it all written down so friends and family can see how it's going.

I'm quite sporty so the two you mentioned above should be 'ok'. Best thing is these things don't require a lot of money like some of the other ones I've seen.

Who'd want to willingly run a marathon?!

3dcandy · 7 Nov 2011 at 08:05

Still looking for inspiration for a 30th thing to do....any ideas?

Climb a mountain

This is actually a good idea, thanks

On a quick look - Ben Nevis isn't too far from me and seems a good challenge without being a month trek with tents etc.

Need to look into that more

3dcandy · 7 Nov 2011 at 13:19

Pah, Ben Nevis might be the tallest mountain in the UK, but aim higher man!
I'd try out Gangkhar Puensum meself....lol

should make a .com or .co.uk site for this, 30thingstodobeforeyour30.com or something a little catchier :rolleyes:

Twins

EDIT: I see that you're married, maybe this isn't the best suggestion.

Point taken - allthough it's probably not going to go global!

But it might with that domain
