realMendocino: a guide to coastal Mendocino County
& the Anderson Valley

This site is under construction. The directory is starting to be useful, with dozens of listings for Mendocino town, a few for the rest of the coast, and many more listings being added. There is also a local news/blog aggregator, which will eventually have several of our own bloggers, but for now is all aggregated. The photo gallery is functional, with new photos being added frequently.

Several account functions are now functional. You can set up an account (it’s free), and upload your photos to the gallery, add new directory listings, and set up store pages. Plus, you can edit those things once they're posted.

A brief word about those store pages: when researching listings for the directory, I noticed that many local stores have no web presence. In a time when fewer and fewer people are using phone books, this is a bad thing. I set up store pages so that shopkeepers and professionals can easily set up a mini-site in a few minutes and maintain it painlessly.

Soon, we'll have a complete directory of local businesses including artists, an events calendar, photo galleries of Mendocino parks, historical info, and heaps and gobs of other stuff.
