Last/Final Note

Depending on how busy I'll be, or the type of internet access I have, I'm planning to keep a twice weekly update on my/this blog. So keep checking for new stuff & feel free to keep the comments & poll voting coming.

If you're unsure on how to comment, there is a 'Commenting' post in the Blog Archive on the right (beneath the polls)  or under Labels =====>

You can use these (archive & label links) to find any posts you may have: missed, want to see again, or need information off of.

At the bottom of the page is also a 2010 calendar I have created which will enable you to see every scheduled event.

At the top of the page under the Title, is also a series of tabs so far labelled: Home; and Contact. Me. These will link you to separate 'pages'.

The main events however (including pics, polls & exciting stuff) will be posted on the main page 'home'.


PHOTOS:

I am using Picasa for my main photo storage. To stop any of the creepy stalkers stealing my piccys, I've protected them with a secret link. I will email you the link for each album (or post it on Facebook) & if I don't have your email, feel free to scab it off mum & dad  :)

Final Note on Navigating My Blog Page

Just thought I'd give you all a quick run down on where & what everything is/does on this page for all those not-so-techno-friendly people.      :)

Right Side Bar:

"My Recent Europe Pics" - A small sideshow of my most recent pics.

"My Euro Pics & Albums" - Link/s that will take you to all of the online albums containing all of my pics.

"My Current Time" - The exact/current time of my residence. E.g. While still accessing my blog in Aus. the time will be Aus. time. Once in the UK the time will automatically convert into the relevant UK time. The same applies for every other country visited in Europe, etc, etc.

"UK Weather" - Obviously... the current weather in the UK.

"Polls" - A series of polls will be listed with the most recent at the top. 2-3 days after the polls have been closed (time up for voting) they will be removed so there is room for new ones. Most of them allow you to vote for more than one option, & the outcome may very well be used during my trip. (See "Polls!" post Sept. 09 for e.g.).

"Blog Archive" - A hierarchy derived from the year then month to find old posts no longer viewable on the main page. The main page has been set up so only 3 posts (3 most recent) will be viewable at a time (keeps the page small & simple).

"Labels" - For those not keen on the "Archive" option to go back & view older &/or missed posts, the "Labels" section can be used. Each post is given labels (e.g. a blog involving arrival/departure will be labelled: arrival, departure, flights, travel, transport, etc). This is more useful for those who know specifically what post they're looking for.

"About Me" - A boring link to an unfinished profile.

"Followers" - These picture icons represent people who have made or have an existing account with google & have "joined" my blog page. This allows them to be identified (shows name/follower) when leaving comments (instead of anonymous & haveing to type in your name every time).

"Recent Comments" - A list of the last 5 comments posted anywhere on the blog.

"My Travel Links" - A list of links to other websites I have used in organizing my trip/travel. In a random post &/or poll might ask if a certain package is a good idea - the link to the website promoting the package will most likely be found here. Also other random sites I constantly use such as: STA Travel, Topdeck, Travel Buddies, etc.

"Favourite Links" - A list of links to sites I use often or like to promote such as: work, dad's photography, etc.

Main Strip:

"Countdown" - A Countdown timer until I depart for: UK, Contiki, etc.

"2010 Europe Calendar" - A calendar that you can browse to see my itinerary over the year (arrival & departure dates, start & finish of tours, etc).
