Index of Subjects Hi all, Blogging is a great way to share one's experiences in the outdoors. Blogger.com, is another fine site. I recently updated my nature photography blog, the address is as follows: http://garyamurray.blogspot.com/ Cheers, Gary Murray Pictou County ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wild Flora" <herself@wildflora.com> To: <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2007 9:55 AM Subject: [NatureNS] Blogging, gardening, nature watching > Dear NatureNS, > > Recently (thanks in large part to encouragement received from someone I > met > through this list), I started blogging. Not many people mention blogs on > this list, though many people post their wonderful photos online, so I > thought it might be worth mentioning that blogging is another way to share > photos and experiences of nature.

Well, for one thing you can conveniently include a > considerable amount of text in a blog.

Blogs also take a diary form, which works rather well for nature > observations. Your comments and photos will automatically be archived, and > with the latest version of Blogger (not the only way to blog but easy and > free) you can attach "labels" to each of your entries, allowing your fans > to > easily find all the comments you've made or photos you've uploaded on any > given topic, even if they span several years. And of course, fans can get > news of new postings by subscribing to a feed. > > I started out with a blog on my favorite topic, wildlife-friendly > gardening, > natural landscaping, and native plants. If you're interested, you'll find > it > at http://www.wildgardeners.blogspot.com Right now I'm blogging about > gardening to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. I have been using a lot > of photos, so the blog will illustrate some easy ways to incorporate > photos > (both by incorporating a photo directly into the blog and by linking to > photos or albums located elsewhere). > > However, so many of my friends were interested in starting blogs of their > own that I started a blog on that topic as well. I'm by no means an expert > on this subject, but I'm sharing what I do know and everything I find out > at > http://www.techcrone.com. > > Shanti, > > Wild Flora > > >
