04-14-23 Update

[TommyBNSF]

Got a fairly big update this time, with a decent number of crossings from Hopen111 out in Iowa. He's got plenty more coming so keep an eye out for future submissions from him. I also got some crossings in Illinois, with some updates and plenty of new crossings.

Also, as a future note, I will not be doing webpage making for outside submissions from here on out. If you contacted me prior, this does not apply to you. Also, if you're able to make webpages and just want me to upload them to the site, I will still do that. I still have tens of thousands of my own pictures to post to the site, other railroad related projects I work on, plus obviously work in the real world, so that's why I'm not taking future webpage work.

Also a side note, many pages will say Created March 2023, as that when I originally was going to post it, but I ended up postponing until now and just didn't feel like going back to change all the dates.

I was wondering how I can get all of the files required to make a webpage. I was watching freebrickproductions video on how but I’d always get stuck at the header. So if there is any files like a editable template available I would really like to use it.

You need to have Photoshop to be able to edit the headers. You also need an HTML editor like Adobe Dreamweaver or BlueGriffon. You also need the RoadGeek series of fonts in order to edit the headers.

IIRC, Photopea, a free online picture editor, accepts the Photoshop (.psd) files for the headers without issue, though you'll need to import the correct fonts into it.

I think for future mikes RxR site submitters you should have a post with all the links needed. It can get quite annoying when you can’t find things plus it would drastically decrease the amount of questions for how do you get that. Just a thought

I may see about doing that at some point.

There are no crossings in Utah on this site yet.....but I live in UTAH.

I would like to try adding more pages for Ohio when I have enough pics to upload, but since I am adding "Coming Soon" to the pages I'm adding (which idk if that'll happen anytime soon), I've tried using BlueGriffon, but whenever I try to add the pages that are coming soon, it like doesn't position correctly

For example, I am attempting to add Bellefontaine to the page, but whenever I do, it like messes up the page and moves everything below "Bellevue"

I don't know what the heck I'm doing wrong One day, I'm determined to figure out this whole situation
