One thing I never liked about this directory is having a single link for each winner. They become invalid frequently and it only allows a link to 1 site when, instead, I would like to have pictures from multiple sources. eWRC-Models provides this but, again, links are out of my control and it's a colossal pain to update links when they change.
I have been using Google Photos as you may have noticed for some recent entries but don't like the limited album management capabilities it provides. The Diecast Database program I wrote 11+ years ago
is still plugging away on macOS Monterey so I decided to leverage the feature to generate a static website. I was able to find a reasonable solution on Netlify that provides free hosting limited to 100GB of traffic per month.
You can see the final result here: 1:43 WRC Winners. It's not pretty by current standards but it will be easy to make it a little more pleasing to the eyes.
Over the coming weeks, I will be updating the links in the reference to point to the model details page at the directory above. I also plan to update my AWS Route53 domain with an entry for this so the URL will be a more reasonable looking www.dbdemocloud.com/xxxx
