You may also give a description of yourself; where you come from, where you live and so on. An e-mail with activation link will be sent to the adress you entered.

Start creating blogs

You may now start creating your blogs! Click "Add new Item" on your user menu.

A new window will open (add screenshot here):

Quick howto:

1. Title: Give a title to your blog, this will be the heading
2. Title Alias: You don't need to input anything here
3. Tags: Short keyword(s) used to sort and find similar blogs
4. Published: Set this to "No", you are not allowed to publish by default
5. Featured: Don't use
6. Category: Choose the Category you want your blog to belong to, currently only "Travel Blogs" can be chosen
7. Content: This is the area where you create your blog. Type in the text or paste it in. You can separate your introduction text and full text by clicking the "Readmore" button.
8. Image: Here you may add an image to show at the start of your blog (don't need to have an image, but looking much nicer...). Upload your image by clicking "Browse". Please don't upload huge images! Add a caption to tell something about the image.
9. Image gallery: This is a nice feature! Upload and showcase your images as an Image Gallery! Simply create a ZIP file with your images related to the blog (please keep the size and number reasonable) and select it in the browser.
10. Video: As with images you may upload your own video (keep size reasonable) or link to a video you like on the internet, for example from YouTube.
11. Extra Fields: These are optional fields with information that will appear beneath your blog (you must select category first)
12. Attachments: Self-explaining?

When you are satisfied press the "Save" button.

Don't worry if you get a warning that you are not allowed to publish. You're blog is saved ok anyway. A moderator will now accept and publish your blog as soon as possible. We reserve the right to change the Category and correct bad spelling if necessary.

You may at any time edit your own blogs! It will then be set to "Unpublished" and needs to be accepted again by a moderator.
