Indeed I have. It's cute. I am in process of writing a new blog, and I can see how I'm getting along. Keep up the innovations, but don't make them too advanced for plodders like me.

Aha! Here's a good title. Younger members are Travelpodders, older members are Travelplodders.

Nominate me as a Local Expert



I like it for short trips. I find it gets to be pretty useless on longer trips with lots of entries, because all the dots are so close together that you can't really click on any of them. The "previous"/"next" navigation is pretty good, though, so it's not really that critical.

About the dots being too close together. If you hover your mouse over the dots, a short summary pops up and you can sort of slide through the whole trip quickly.

Segas, let me ask you something....
Why do you consider the dots a problem If you look in my blog from Cyprus, I have 27 entries and still going on......
I have nothing to do with dots. I don't even touch them
If you want to write something or check on an entry you can go to dashboard, and press open (View block) which is found under Manage entries.
Here you will see all your entries one after the other, and you can do anything from here.
It is so easy indeed. Try it, and let me know.

Why is that?



Because when I click on the dot I get a map and a list of blog entries. It is not clear which blog entry I clicked on.
I am no looking at at least three "lists". The dots, the entries below the map and the list of entries that just popped up and I still have not clue where I wanted to go.
