I am interested in starting my own travel blog - I have a lot of scrap bits and pieces from tattered journals to piece together after spending 5 months in France, 2 years in Turkey, and 4 months in Texas. I am still trying to find the best blog site to host my blog. Do you have any advice / suggestions / recommendations? I have a few criteria: 1. that people actually read it (and who knows - maybe I could make some money - but that's secondary to connecting with a community of like-minded individuals). i'm not sure a wordpress account would generate any exposure right off the bat. 2. that it be easy to use (i don't want to spend hours pulling my hair out trying to get it to look the way i want it to) 3. that it look pretty. i am hoping for a ready-made slick professional layout with minimum design required from me. i would like to simply copy and paste the text in and voila! i would also like to be able to tag and categorize entries, and back-date entries to the actual date the trip occurred. 4. that it allow unlimited photo uploads and that uploads don't take hours. 5. that it allow me to create slick-looking route maps. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated! Thanks, ceo I really liked this article.

I have a few criteria:
1. that people actually read it (and who knows – maybe I could make some money – but that’s secondary to connecting with a community of like-minded individuals). i’m not sure a wordpress account would generate any exposure right off the bat.
2. that it be easy to use (i don’t want to spend hours pulling my hair out trying to get it to look the way i want it to)
3. that it look pretty. i am hoping for a ready-made slick professional layout with minimum design required from me. i would like to simply copy and paste the text in and voila! i would also like to be able to tag and categorize entries, and back-date entries to the actual date the trip occurred.
4. that it allow unlimited photo uploads and that uploads don’t take hours.
5. that it allow me to create slick-looking route maps.

Any advice you can offer would be appreciated!

Thanks,
ceo

Can't wait until we can do a serious long trip and blog all the way, so much to see and do. Hi Ant, Great blog, I have done some travelling in Australia, mostly short trip 2 months at the most.
