Blogging on the road
Ok so I'm trying to decide what to do about my blog while I'm backpacking.Should I carry on writing in this blog...
Should I start a new blog on blogger...
or should I blog on a traditional travel blog like travelblog
Hmm....since you guys will be the ones that will (*hopefully!*) be reading it, I thought I'd get your opinions! So please please please let me know what you think! The advantage with travel blog sites is the addition of maps and stuff like that....hmmm.....
anyone any opinions to voice?

I'm always one to give opinions so here is mine.
OPTION ONE: Using Travel Blog
Travel blog is great because you can not only get a lot of readership from those who are regulars to travel blog, but you can also get decent exposure if you want to crack the travel journalism market, or photography. Also, when a new entry is made, you can set it up so people automatically get your entry into their email box, which is great, I think.
The down side is that if you keep a travel blog only, you really are limited as to what to write. Its simply about travel, so you wont really want to expose your deep dark thoughts on life.
OPTION TWO: Using your blog
Keeping this blog is a good idea, because there is a certain continuity about it - people will see how you have developed and how you have grown since planning. Also, people you meet along the way will also see what your home is like. Here you can continue to put your photos on and still write about stuff personal to you.
The downside is the exposure, I think. And also, I dont know whether it is easier to upload photos onto here or on Travel blog.
I have the same dilemma as you. I am not sure what to do. I am kinda thinking of maybe keeping an online blog, and then putting a travelblog entry in every week or so, or only when there is a special trip on or a holiday taken.
Dats what I fink.

i don't know.. i don't really have room on my bookmarks toolbar for another one, but it's totally up to you.

I would use the travel blog. I love maps.

oreo, you have no right to post comments on my blog and not post anything on yours.
i've been coming in here every day with the hopes of finding a new post... and i'm starting to get disappointed..
Louis...I've wondered the same thing many times....I dont know what it says, it's just on the template and I've never bothered trying to change it :)
