Anyone have a Blog?

[Haveacamper]

Hi guys,

i'm thinking of starting a blog of the trips i do in the bus. i would like to show things like the routes i take, the campsites i stay at and some general chit chat. i was thinking mainly for long 2week trips in the summer, but also thinking it would be good for weekends away around the UK.

does anyone do this? or know of a good site?

i found this when i was looking....epic trip and only half way around lol:

Hi Nathan

Quite a few of us on here use Tumblr (including Loxy)

See link below in my signature :mrgreen:

excuse my ignorance, but am i right to presume this is a blog?

Yes it is, you can post pictures, text, videos whatever you want and people can follow you if they like.

Theres a Android & Apple app that lets you post without being at a computer, you use it how you want and if you include the link on your email or EB posts people can follow your trip,

The one you posted a link to is more of a personal website than a public blog,

Very high level guide....!

For pretty pictures with an (optional) line of description, use Tumblr
see graham's example 8)

For a blog with more words to accompany your finest snapshots, try something like WordPress.
Happy bus travels example for you

I find blogspot easy to use and generates a good following

Mine is here:- http://bellsandlabs.blogspot.co.uk/

Good luck with the blog, I quite enjoy writing my wafflings!

Yep, http://www.tumblr.com/

You can include text, photos, links, audio or video posts, no limits on words etc.

My blog mainly consists of cars/busses, photos, art, architecture and landscapes

I was writing a blog during a particularly tough period a little while back. I haven't updated it for a while, so in case anybody reads it and wonders what happened next, it has a positive outcome.

I started a blog about my 2 x harley davidson motorbikes rusting apart as a guide to others in the same boat: http://rusty48.blogspot.com - really simple to use, though slightly limiting (things like sorting entries from newest first to oldest first)

wow - emotional story, certainly had me hooked throughout and rooting for you! - glad to hear there was a positive outcome, would be great to finish it off (and well written...sure you haven't got a book in you? )

Yeah just read it all as well. Glad it worked out! And as lard says you should finish it off!

 

[beef]

Thanks, yes I should finish it. Had thought about doing something bigger with it but just taking it easy for the mo.

That is the beauty of a blog, it can be whimsical, informative or heart wrenching, as Beef shows. We all have a book in us, apparently, though thankfully mine is at the mindless-stuff end of the spectrum. Glad it worked out for you, Beef.

I find that Blogspot meets my needs. See below.

We have one for our van: http://esmeralda.hu.gs

The only trouble is finding the time to keep it up-to-date!
