Go to sheets.google.com → click the big + button to create a new sheet. Name it "KT Adventures Trip".

Add a second tab, rename it Photos, and set up these columns:

A: StopIDB: PhotoURLC: CaptionD: Date

4
Publish the sheet to the web

In Google Sheets: File → Share → Publish to web → Publish entire document as CSV → click Publish.

📌 The Sheet ID is the long string in the URL between /d/ and /edit.
5
Add the Sheet ID to your site files

Tell Claude: "Add my Google Sheet ID [YOUR-ID] to all pages" and it handles the rest. Then push to GitHub.

2
Update Your Location (On the Road)

▼

Once the sheet is set up, updating your location takes 30 seconds.

1
Open your Google Sheet on your phone

Bookmark the sheet link above. Or open Google Sheets app → find "KT Adventures Trip".

2
Update cell A2 in the "Status" tab

Change the StopID to your current location (e.g., flagstaff → zion). Optionally update the note in B2.

3
That's it! ✓

The site updates automatically — visitors see your new location pin immediately.

3
Add Photos from Your iPhone

▼

The easiest way to add photos — using Google Drive from your iPhone.

1
Install Google Drive on your iPhone

Download the free Google Drive app. Sign in with your Google account.

2
Create a "KT Adventures Photos" folder in Google Drive

Open Drive → tap + → New Folder → name it "KT Adventures 2026 Photos".

3
Upload a photo & copy the link

In Drive → open your folder → tap + → Upload → choose from Photos. Then tap the 3 dots → "Share" → "Copy link".

4
Convert to a direct image URL

Share link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILEID/view
Change to: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=FILEID

💡 Copy the FILEID (long string between /d/ and /view) into the template above.
5
Add to Google Sheet "Photos" tab

New row: StopID · direct image URL · caption · date. Photo appears on site immediately!

💡 Pro Tip: Set Sharing to "Anyone with the link"

When sharing a photo in Google Drive, make sure permission is set to "Anyone with the link" — otherwise the photo shows as broken on the site.
