Peak Experience have set up a new interactive website: My Peak Experience. This is thought to be the first website of its kind for a National Park. It is designed for participants to share their words, pictures and sound recordings of the Peak District with others around the world.
The nearest image to our area, at the time of writing this, is a photo of Tissington Hall. So if you want to share your images and thoughts with the rest of the world, do come first to PARWICH.ORG, but then secondly you might want to look at My Peak Experience, which also has a version for mobile phones www.mypeakexperience.org.uk/?device=mobile.


Considering that My Peak Experience has been designed as an interactive, user-generated, community-driven site, it’s a shame that it doesn’t contain any outbound links to other Peak District sites. Not only that, but there’s a block on embedding links within any of the comments left by users of the site. Wouldn’t they gain more recognition / popularity / traffic / “Google juice” by allowing for a little bit of reciprocal “linky love”, as we old-school bloggers like to call it?
Dear Mike, thank you for your comment. Unfortunately the web designers had to take the decision not to enable live web links in the comments section because it would make the site prone to spam robots and real human spammers who will abuse it to insert links to their own commercial sites. Links to viagra and porn would quickly appear throughout the site. It would also be used by website owners to manipulate their google rankings.
Users can include a web address in their comment which others can copy and paste.
Members can insert live links into their profile.
We will look into the feasability of a links section if people with Peak District commuity websites contact us requesting the feature.
Cheers, Bill
