Starting a blog

Well, everyone has a blog, why not me? In fact, I’ve been blogging already for 5 years, but my themes and the place was different. Now I’m starting this blog on Corsica.forHikers.com for three main reasons:

  1. As I build the content of this website, I need a place to collect all information I’ve found in a raw form. I’ve been using research tools like Del.ici.ous or Google Notebook to save links and excerpts, but finally I decided to make all my notes related to Corsica right here and share them with you.
  2. The audience of Corsica.forHikers.com is growing and about 20% of you come here more than once. Because I’ve been adding or changing content at least once a week, I need a way to tell you what was added or changed. A blog is a perfect tool for that.
  3. Last but not least, doing my research I often find up to date information and news related to Corsica. Including them into rather static pages of the on-line guidebook would be difficult, a blog posts are much better for them.
