So I’m going travelling, then I’m going to be working in foreign parts, so I guess I’ll write a blog. This is, therefore, my first blog post. Well I wrote a travel log when I was away in China etc, but I’m not sure a blog really existed then so I edited the HTML by hand using ssh. Ah, those were the days, all fields round here and so on.

So, what’s my blog going to do? I guess I need to upload text and pictures and people comment and so on in the standard blog manner, but in addition I’d quite like to have the ability to “geotag” my blogs and make some sort of map to say where I’ve been and where I’m going and how I travelled there. It would be good to geotag my photos, particularly if I use flickr, which seems to be the default option.

Well, I’m using wordpress as it seems to be pretty simple to set up and has lots of plugins, so someone will have hopefully written what I want and I won’t have to bother, which would be really useful. I’ve found a reasonable theme which nice and blue, like my eyes (well, bluer than my eyes, but you know) - and it has tabs. Might do my own at some point, but I feel the time investment is probably not worth it right now.

Anyway, I’m obviously only writing this to test out the software as no-one has the link to this yet, so I’m going to stop here. Unless I use the edit feature later. Wonder if I will?
