My Travel Blog - Rationale

The last time I mass-mailed a bunch of people with one of my trip reports, one of the recipients made me realize that a blog might be more suited to communicate my travel stories.

Indeed, using a blog, I can now simply email a link to an entry instead of a lengthy message. Also, people who did not receive prior trip reports can browse through them if they are in a blog. Moreover, using a blog gives me the flexibility of writing one or more entries during a given trip (when the events are still fresh in my memory) rather than writing only once I'm back home. If some are really interested in knowing the latest twists of my adventures as soon as I write about them, they can subscribe to the blog's feed.
