[LooseBoots]

Yes I managed to get the next episode done.

I have used more pictures this time. Can you let me have feedback on this please:

Click on picture :

Hope you enjoy.

Keith can you advise if you think it would be better with hypertext links for the pics???

Just personal opinion; I feel it's better to embed the pictures as you have, it provides a continuity. Hyperlinks (IMO) would necessitate going to the pictures and then returning to the narrative, which "breaks the flow".
However, it's your blog, so it's really up to you - but please keep them coming!
For those of us who can't or don't have the courage to travel so widely and adventurously, blogs like these give us an opportunity to see (and gain an impression of) all these marvellous places - in a similar vein, as a former caravanner, I've followed blogs of folk who have travelled to the Arctic circle, to Marrakesh and across the Australian outback with their 'vans, although I never even left the UK with mine.... (and two classic blogs - 'myneighboursarehoors' (which can still be found in parts) and 'bloodbus' (which can't, although the book is apparently available!))
...totally irrelevant - one small niggle; every blog I've ever seen, the latest episode is always at the top, unlike forum posts, where latest is last - so, with blogs, you always have to scroll down first to see whether you've missed an episode - is this a trait/failing of all blog software as opposed to forums/BBs?
Anyway, thanks for the latest and please continue!

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.

I must admit I like seeing the pictures but then they have more meaning for me. I take your point,and its a valid one, that clicking on a hyper would detract from the flow.
Just hope i didn`t put too many pics in.
I did try and put them at the relevant parts of the story.

As to the last point about the order of the episodes,I honestly dont know.

As its the blog website I don`t think I have any control over that but I`m glad you enjoy reading it

Thanks again for the feedback.

Guys,

On the latest blog I have increased the size of the font and reduced the size of the pictures.

Does this look better?

Be nice.

Hi Malcom & Anita,

We get to read about and see the beautiful country..

Good luck in your further adventures.

Excellent!

I like being able to click on the pictures to see a full sized image, and the smaller pictures definitely improve the 'readability' in my opinion.

Tip to readers! - if you hold down a Ctrl (Control) key, while clicking on a picture, the larger sized picture will open in a fresh
Window / Tab, so you don't lose your place...

Edited all the blogs with the larger print but smaller pictures.

Also,edited the background. Again constructive feedback is always welcome. I am only learning.....
