I have a Facebook page that I use to post info and photos about each year's maple syrup season. It is called Backyard Maple Syruping. As I know some of you don't use Facebook, I downloaded the 2020 posts, loaded them on my google cloud drive and used Drivetoweb to make them look like a long web page. The Facebook link itself is

The bottom link is backwards in time -- the way Facebook shows us current first.
It is rather interesting to try to do sort of automatic websites with information from other places.
I tried another one -- a website for backyard maple syruping -- nothing much there yet, but also free.

The last step is to use tinyurl.com and make a simple short web address that goes to the longer one.

It was a great season. We ran about 75 taps and got nearly 30 gallons of syrup -- great tasting too. Now we are going to setup a road-side driveway stand and see if we can sell some without customer contact in this CV-19 period.
