Thanks for all of the ideas!<br><br>The route I'm going, I'll have a cell signal the vast majority of the time, so that's no worry. I don't mind typing on my phone either.<br><br>I don't have a facebook so that's out.<br><br>Still debating on taking videos. The video I put together for my last tour, no one watched. It was long and boring and I think I'm the only one that enjoys watching it. Oh well.<br><br>Definitely taking photos and going to make some kind of online journal. <br><br>I'm still leaning towards updating it every day. I like to keep in touch with friends during a tour anyways, so I might as well. Even if its just a quick "Still alive. 50 miles north of the WV border."

But stuff like that suggests that you've finished your tour or a particular section of your tour, and you're in a place where you can edit your video and put it together into a collection of highlights.
Regarding your desire to update every day, keep in touch with friends, and possibly do a quick "still alive" ... I'd suggest Facebook for that. People go to blogs and journals etc. for information on what you've seen or done during a day, not an incredibly brief update like that. But with Facebook, you can jot a brief two or three word update for your friends. You can even load a photo or two if you want.

I don't use electronic media much while riding but I have made a habit of writing a letter...yes, with pen and paper...to my wife every night. It's what I do while so many others are doing their daily laundry
Every few days, I mail it...with stamps...home. I find it helps me organize my thoughts and I then use it for crafting my journals on CrazyGuy. If I don't write down something every night, all those stories get lost.
The letters can be long or short. They can be truthful or they can be total fabrications. They can be facts and figures or they can be letters about people I've met.
I find that the total fabrications are ever so much more fun to write and read. Who needs to know what I ate for dinner when I can tell a story about grasshopper love or the terrible heat ray or Lars?
