+M-T-P Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I've noticed quite a few personal websites about Geocaching. But I have only come across a few blog sites about the daily lives of cachers. Do you or does someone you know write a blog about their geocaching adventures? Although I've only been caching for a few weeks, mine is Adventures in Geocaching. Quote Link to comment
gridlox Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Now that is cool! I've got my own website already and was planning on adding a section for my Geocaching adventures to mainly have a place I could expand on my hunts & hides a little more than on my log posting. The only reason I haven't done it yet is because I just haven't had the time to come up with a good layout and graphics. This is just the ticket. Right now they are predicting for Saturday to be a washout here (hope not ), so I may just jump on the hosting site there and start mine up. Thanks for the lead. D-man Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Right after I started this obsession, er, hobby, er, activity, I added a couple of pages to my website with photographs from my adventures, but I never thought about doing the blog idea. I think I need to get back on that project, and expand it a bit with this as inspiration. Thanks M-T-P! Quote Link to comment
+Beowulf83 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Nice blog, M-T-C. I wonder if this is a feature GC might add to it's site (Premium option?) Of course, one could argue that the current ability to upload photos with comments gives similar functionality. It's just not in blog format. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment
+BruceS Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Nicely done. I have one also listed on my signature line. Quote Link to comment

BradGrier Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Nice Blog! We started one too - (brat&testy's GeoCaching Blog) and it's been fun to maintain, and is a source of information we can direct potential/newbie cachers to. Quote Link to comment

+M-T-P Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 I use the Hello plugin for Picasa 2 that is made by Google. This lets you upload a photo to your log directly from Picasa 2. Quote Link to comment
+M-T-P Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 No problem. I hope that works for you. I'm not terribly wild about Picasa 2, but like how it interfaces directly with Blogger. Google is really branching out in what it does! Quote Link to comment
+Tiffany's Slaves Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Tiffany has added a Geocaching page to her personal website tiffanythedog.com Quote Link to comment
+dzrtgrls Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 We’ve recently come down with geocaching fever and are getting ready to add a geocaching section to www.dzrtgrls.com. We really enjoy checking out the blogs and websites of fellow geocachers. It gets the creative juices flowing. Dzrtgrls Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 and here I thought logs on caches were a blog of sorts. Quote Link to comment
+Beowulf83 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Tiffany has added a Geocaching page to her personal website tiffanythedog.com OK, that's got to be one of the scariest sites I've seen in a long time! Quote Link to comment
+Beowulf83 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 and here I thought logs on caches were a blog of sorts. Possibly, but logs are more cache-oriented, whereas blogs would be more user-oriented. And of course, if you provide a place for someone to respond to your blog entries with their comments, you basically have a forum. So I guess the main REAL difference would be the ability to personalize it. Therefore (despite my earlier comments) blogs probably should be left to the individual and not incorporated into GC. I've been blogging for several years now. I have a Geocaching section on my website, but the site covers many other topics. Quote Link to comment
+M-T-P Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 I'll agree. There is a significant difference between a cache log and a personal blog about geocaching. Cache logs are there to track caches, blogs are there to allow individuals to share what is on their minds - in this case also about geocaching in general. Quote Link to comment
+Team ARK-ville Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I have a blog on geocaching at "arkviller.blogspot.com". Just an intro into the sport. Quote Link to comment

+Mr. Snazz Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Its not quite a geocaching blog (yet) but I have photos of almost every cache I've done, along with statistics, in a database so that you can filter by cache type and container. http://geo.mrsnazz.com Date links to my photo journal, cache image links to the cache page at gc.com.

+M-T-P Posted April 7, 2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2005 (edited) I wanted to let you all know that the ever growing list of geocaching blogs has been posted at Adventures in Geocaching: Geocaching Blogs. I will continue to add to this list, so please feel free to send me the URL for your geocaching blog. Small Print: Also, since the purpose for compiling this list is to read about people's adventures in geocaching, there were a few sites that were intentionally left off of this list since they appeared to be geocaching related websites without any frequently updated personal narratives or blogs. While these are still great looking sites and many contain wonderful photographs and interesting information (or peeing dogs), I didn't think they fit within the goal of this list. Please do not be offended if your site was not listed for this reason. I just want to list blog or blog-like sites of personal experiences in geocaching.

+AuntieWeasel Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I've only just begun putting geocaching information on my fieldnotebook site, though I plan more.
