Blogs - Hints and Tips
Up one level
What is a blog? A blog is derived from the term ‘web log’. In the context of planbooktravel, think of a blog as a travel log, diary or date based journal.
Use your Blog to keep a journal of your daily experiences as you travel. Keep family, friends and the planbooktravel community informed of your daily activities through your Blog.
Use your Blog to link to your favourite content on planbooktravel.com, locations you have visited and relevant articles you find on-line. Once you have completed your travels your Blog represents a complete archive of personal experiences which you can re-visit and reflect upon, to inspire your next adventure.
Tips:
1. To create a blog select the green + blog button
2. A blog is different from a review. Think of a blog as a date based journal and a review as single story relevant to a location. Blogs and reviews are also different in terms of how they are presented in the site. A blog is more personal. Blogs are not linked to locations – where reviews and photos are.
3. Short, sharp and punchy makes for well read, interesting blogs.
4. How to add a photo to the text of a blog: Note – the photo needs to already be uploaded into the site. Either use + photo (page 5) or write and save the blog and select ‘Image’ from the drop down ‘add to folder’.
5. Now you have photos in the site, you can return to your blog, select edit and the insert image button in the text editor. Select ‘My recent items link. This will bring up all items recently added to your folder. Select the image.
