blogs on direxplorers?

limeyx · July 12th, 2006, 02:14 AM

are there any plans to add a blog feature to the site?

Right now, I host mine elsewhere and cross-post some of my trip reports.

I'd rather host it locally though...

(maybe it already exists and I'm just missing it)

just write your trip reports in the trip report section!

A blog that we could sign in as un-known users and write articles and stuff might be cool though.

Why? What the advantage of being unknown?

'Tis another way of wasting time on the internet.... stands for Weblog - an online diary. I use mine now instead of a logbook - to keep records of dives I want to remember (and some I want to forget).

I could make a section on here where unregistered users could post - or registered members could post anonomously - but I can't see the point. Please post your trip reports here - most of us waste enough time on the web as it is and don't have time to go round reading blogs too - but if you have a blog link to it in your signature
