Category — This Blog
Coming soon…
I’m well aware that I haven’t written anything here for, well, ages! I’ve been focusing on a lot of other things, but rest assured I will be back here and re-launching World Troubadour before the year is out. From Nov my location independent life starts and I’m hoping that will mean plenty of travel stuff to write about. Anything else will be covered over at my main blog, Lifestyle Project.
Peace and Love,
Chris

New Blog Setup: Creating a Community.
I enjoy setting up new blogs. In fact I enjoy it perhaps too much (considering I should be spending my time writing!). Actually, the fact that I like setting up blogs so much is on reason why I now offer it as a service (more details to follow).
In setting up this new blog, I wanted to encourage interactions and community from the get-go. With this in mind, I have done the following:
- Installed the excellent CommentLuv plugin, so that anyone who already has a blog gets a link back to their latest post automagically.
- Installed a Twitter ID plugin, that means if you leave a comment with an email linked to a twitter account it will stick a link to your profile in there. I like twitter, it makes me warm and fuzzy inside. There’s also a ‘Twit this’ plugin. I’ll see how that goes as it adds clutter.
- I’ve whacked my links to my travel bloggin community interactions in the side bar.
- I’ve stuck some of my favourite travel related blogs in my Blogroll. I’ll probably do a seperate links page in the future, but this will do for now.
- From the start I want to encourage interaction and community in my posts. No plugin for that I’ll have to do that myself!
I hope you enjoy my new blog, and welcome to the community!
