HI Mike! Thanks for the post! I do have a flickr account but I forgot to open it. But I’ll try to open it again and add more photos on it.

Oh no! I also have that kind of mentality. I know I must back it up soon but laziness always gets in the way. haha
But thank God for Facebook because at least its like a temporary back up for my photos. […] -
Gear Up and Play mentioned @demonyika in the forum topic Brainstorming "You Pick" Days. in the group Writers Workshop@demonyika (Wynna), thanks for sharing your great idea. Photos can always bring back some memories and that’s a fine way to jump start the creative process. On a sadder note, make sure you backup all those […]

Hi Mike! I have thought about that calendar also and that’s a good way to get something worked up.
As for me, I usually browse through my photo gallery to check on good things to write. Since I’m a […]

Hi Michael. Love teh new look. Its cleaner and has a more refreshing look withteh blues being the base color. But maybe we can have the link bars (Home, Community, Forums etc) smaller and more streamlined? Its not urgent but just something to consider as layout improvements. Thanks

@bedouindreamer Thanks Elmer, I’m glad you like it
I think something needs to be done with the navigation as well, color too. It looks kind of out of place so I will be working on it to match the site more. I’m still not done with the logo size, placement, or even concept, not sure I like it. I do like the background headers however -
Gear Up and Play
@bedouindreamer, so what do you think, like is that what you meant by streamlined more? I took off the rounded edges as it didn’t work with the square header image and then I narrowed the bar some. What’s your opinion?

Hi guys. I know I still owe you my review on the iMapMyHike app for iPhone and iPad but work is taking its toll and I am not able to take this for a test run. I am going to cheat here and give you a link to a blog that reviewed 18 hiking applications that you might find useful in your hikes. I know it won’t make up for my lackluster performance…[Read more]

Fellas I am trying out a hiking app called iMapMyHike. I will post updates in the next few days of my experience. It is an iPad and iPhone app that can be used not only for hiking but as a general fitness plan with nutrition and calorie counter. It also has GPS capability and an online database of interesting places to jog, climb and hike. For…[Read more]

Nice Elmer, you know this experience and your updates on it sounds like a great post that will possibly reach a wider audience. Then at the end of the post you could mention the group and a link encouraging people to sign up and join your group

I am so impressed with Tour Wrist app on iPad. You can shoot and share 360-degree views of places you have visited plus it’s free! I’m getting ready to shoot and share my first tour tomorrow at the flower festival in Baguio City, Philippines. Get the app at http://www.tourwrist.com

Gear Up and Play
Elmer, sounds like a interesting app, I hope you share some footage here so we can see what it looks like

Another suggestion: Can we also embed google analytics to our site so we can track visits and clicks? Or if this is handled at a central administration if we can get weekly reports on traffic specific to our member sites. This way we can track our stats and create actions to drive more.

Hey Elmer, we are central admin
haha… I do have it installed however I must say I have not sat down and fully began to understand all the data it shows or how we can use that data. I also have not found how to share the reports, like weekly emails or something although there are so many options I’m sure it’s there somewhere. In the near…[Read more]-

One week a month to do site admin and learn more about driving traffic to our site is great. Those who are more artistically inclined can maybe do logo and page designs or at least ideas for brainstorming. I’ m not too familiar either on how to share the reports, if I happen to chance upon an article about it I’ll forward it to you. This is…[Read more]

Suggestion: can we start a forum or a thread on travel apps and blogs? We can all contribute on travel apps and blogs we find interesting to use or visit. This could also help us in track backs to our posts. What do you guys think?

Gear Up and Play
I think it’s a pretty good Idea Elmer, what do you think if I create the quick framework for the group and then hand over admin rights to you and that group. Then you could shape the group to your liking, ideas, edit the description and manage it. That sound cool.

Sure, no problem!

Elmer, I’m including this to go live with the launch of the new framework of the website….should be soon. I’m still working out some bugs.
