This Week...
News, Events & Commentary. Frenchtown, New Jersey 

 


Well, here's a new page at Frenchtown.com
I guess it's the result of more demand from our visitors for more up-to-date content. Let's face it, people want to use the internet to find more than some pretty pictures and a stale old story about a quaint little town.

For a web site to be meaningful these days - meaningful and truly helpful to its visitors, it must continually add relevant content and grow with the needs of the audience.

John's approach was to sign up for a blog. But I'm not really a blogger - not yet, at least. I never felt the need to use a blog; I'm the webmaster - and the host of the website. The tools I use these days allow me to update the website with edits, changes and new pages about as easily as I create or edit a document in Microsoft Word.

Editing existing web pages certainly is no longer rocket science. It's quick and easy to do.

Updating the home page frequently has kept us at the top of the search engines for years, which is nice, and updating the home page is not great effort, in these days of convenient web page editing software.

But the problem was, what to do with the comments, reports and general content after it became dated?

I've always disliked deleting page content, so I wanted to find a way to keep the content  online in a convenient archive.

Well here it is: "This Week" a new feature of Frenchtown.com I hope you enjoy it and I hope it makes our website more valuable to all of our visitors.

So, What's happening this week?








Favourite Quotes about Frenchtown, New Jersey

Here on the east bank of the Delaware River is a place which many have never seen, the kind of place most believe has all but vanished. 
~ ~ ~ 
Frenchtown is an authentic relic of the American past; a small town of clapboard and columns and shady porches tucked between brooding brown cliffs and a sweep of the rippling Delaware River.
Frenchtown is the kind of place people go looking for when they take to the byways and the “scenic routes” dotted in green on the highway maps. It comes as a surprise and delight to those who find it by chance. This is a town to be enjoyed at length, a place where curiosity is rewarded by an array of things to see and do This gem on New Jersey's western shore is only minutes from Clinton, Flemington & Lambertville, in New Jersey and from  New Hope, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Frenchtown can be reached via a variety of traffic-free and scenic routes through beautiful Hunterdon County, NJ and Bucks County, PA.

"Perhaps luckily for Frenchtown, it avoided the 'modernization' and rapid expansion of the tourist industry ... Within a five minute walk are bed-and-breakfast inns, several acclaimed restaurants ... as well as 30 shops that specialize in ... art, antiques, gifts, collectibles, crafts" - Garden State Home & Garden magazine
