Below we have broken down geocaching.com's cache submission page and sep by step we will walk you through the cache page designing process.
When we started Geocaching, we had NO Idea how Cache Listings were made and we would see some Colored Cache Logs! How'd they do that? I have to admit, yes I did know Html and more and had been making my own web pages sence the early 90s. (My age is showing) Now BBCode - I never had any use for it and knew nothing about it, but it is realy easy! So here we are after talking to a bunch of Great Cachers and with their knowledge helping me out I have assembled some good information to heplp you out.
We have "How To Customize your new cache page listing on geocaching.com", how to make those colored cache posts. There is Basic HTMl and BBCode help for your listings and posts. I know "What is HTML and BBCode?" we will help you try to understand and actually use them. It's easy give it a try.
Step by step help Learning Basic HTML and BBCode. It's not that hard! We will give you some basic HTML commands that will work with your cache discription pages. There is a lot more HTML language that can be used but we don't want to confuse you at this point. If you really want to dig into it then you could purchase a basic beginners HTML book like HTML for Dummies.

A creative hide is one that is just adding another option to the cache hunt.First I want to be very clear. There is no bad cache and all cache hides are good in their own way, every cache found is another one on our list of finds. It's the hunt and finally finding the cache hide, that's what geocaching is all about.
Geocache hides can very a lot some are very easy to find and some that will just drive you nuts trying to find it along with those mind bending puzzle caches. Others will talk about the cache hide that they don't like the "LPC" for example but .... they will still pick them up as a find, just not their favorite. That's the fun of geocaching there are so many typs of geocache hides out there and you just never know for sure what the next cache find is going to be.
