Yeah, I know about Trailjournals. but you can't say naughty words there and it's like a time machine back to 99, the layout brings me down.

I'm also pretty bad at finding decent blogs about the trail. So post your awesome blogs here.

I'm not under any false illusions, mines not awesome, but I'll give it a go

I used trailjournals.com back in 07, but decided to switch to the Postholer.com website. They seem to be very user friendly with email updates including photo attachments. Ditto on the OP for saying TJ is kind of stuck back in 99. It worked very well for me in 07, but now that I use a "smartphone" the idea of email updates was very appealing. It was kind of painful to switch...felt like cheating on a girlfriend or something =)

Have you tried doing a Google blog search for "Appalachian Trail" or "AT Thru Hike"?

strollingalong

01-20-2012, 14:46

yes, I have and that's why I made this thread seen as recently started blogs don't show up on google for a good while and most people have recently started blogs for this year's thru.
it's taken 3 months for my blog to come up on the first page of results.

have you tried making useful comments or do you just waste your time doing that?

http://www.thruperspective.com/ I just made it very recently so there's not a whole lot to it yet. I've already quit my job, so hopefully I'll have plenty of free time to begin writing more on the blog.

I'm glad I came across this thread too because since I recently sold my tv and most of my other possessions I've been wanting to do nothing but read about the trail. I'll be sure to check out these blogs. I' just going crazy being away from where I really want to be.

It would be nice to keep these blog listings in one spot instead of spread out through a couple different threads.

I guess I'm missing something. If I use Trailjournals or Postholer people can read my journal. If I use just about anything else people have to search around for it. If I wanted to limit a journal to just friends and family that might make sense so I must not understand what the issue is.

I'll be posting updates for my friends and family via instagram.

I figure I can upload a picture with a description and a geotag for my location and that should satisfy most of my communicative needs.

All my crap is on Trail Journals but I'm slowly building a duplicate site on SmugMug which has a great photo spread for those who want just the separate trips with the necessary photos. Plus the captions can hold my usual trail journal text which is nice so I have the option of either looking just at the fotogs or reading the whole trip report. Problem is, it's taking me a while to load up the trip reports as I'm only on Trip 48 or something out of 137.
