Re: Lazy Daze Bloggers... Reply #3 – November 10, 2014, 06:03:35 pm Yahoo Message Number: 149423While this may seem like a good idea and I'm sure that those who full time may not have any objections, but some of us who are snow birds and take summer vacations know that our blogs can be a security risk back home. We do the blog to keep our family and friends up to date on what we are doing. We also know that our blog does get passed along but we would like to keep as low a profile as possible. If you do plan to go ahead with this idea I would hope you contact the bloggers to get their permission to be put on the list. Respectfully, Dave 2014 Midbath
Re: Lazy Daze Bloggers... Reply #4 – November 10, 2014, 07:40:39 pm Yahoo Message Number: 149426If you have a blog (and it's not private) anyone on the Internet can access it. It's not really all that difficult. I actually did a Google search for "Lazy Daze Blogs" and came up with quite a number of hits. Many blogs that I've visited of Lazy Daze owners already have a "nod" in their sidebar of other Lazy Daze owners with blogs. I just felt that this would be a nice way to see where other Lazy Daze owners were traveling, etc... If you have a blog and I included it in the list I apologize. I'm not a full-timer, but I do like to blog - not only for family/friends, but to keep a record of where I've been and what I'm feeling at the time.

However, if someone like Cheryl can find out about your blog, then everybody else in the world does--via Google, Bing, or any other search engine. I'm sure Cheryl will be happy to remove your particular listing, but that won't stop anybody else from finding it.If you want to keep a low profile, then you can't post a public blog. If you're truly concerned about security, then make your blog accessible only with a password, and give that password only to your family and friends, with a strict injunction not to pass it on. Otherwise all bets are off... anyone can find out where you are and--more important--where you aren't.Andy BairdTravels with Andy

People who tweet that they called in sick and went to a concert are always so surprised when the boss reads it and they get fired the next day. People who announce on Facebook that they're going on a Caribbean cruise for three weeks and come home to find the house ransacked... and so on.If it can be found with a Google search, then bad guys can find it too. Always remember that, and act accordingly.Andy BairdTravels with Andy
Re: Lazy Daze Bloggers... Reply #7 – November 24, 2014, 04:01:15 pm Yahoo Message Number: 149685Not sure if its just my computer or browser but I was not able to open links to any of the blogs very easy. It kept trying to download a file that my computer did not know how to open. I had to view source to copy the URL's. Anyone else have this problem?Jay
Re: Lazy Daze Bloggers... Reply #8 – November 24, 2014, 04:13:25 pm Yahoo Message Number: 149686It's not you; none of the links open for me, either. I have no idea how these file were set up, but I suggest that those interested in the blogs just copy and paste a blog's URL into the browser bar for a direct connection.Joan
Re: Lazy Daze Bloggers... Reply #9 – November 24, 2014, 06:16:17 pm Yahoo Message Number: 149687I'm not sure what was tried to upload these, but they are all empty files with just a filename and description. Nothing gets downloaded when clicked. As Joan suggested, for now the best best is to cut and paste the blog URL from each entry and paste it into a browser location bar.Art

The person who posted this page, only upload a page of links, which made the links non links.

Re: Lazy Daze Bloggers... Reply #13 – November 26, 2014, 12:03:13 pm Yahoo Message Number: 149721I think it's nice effort. Most, if not all of these blogs have been mentioned in some past post on this forum. I believe all of these blogs are publicly viewable, so there is really no privacy issue. It would be nice not to have do a exhaustive search trying to relocate a reference to someone's blog. The only problem I see was that the attempt to make the links available came up short of what was intended. If the poster wants to add my photography oriented blog, I have no issue as it includes trips in our LD (as well as other major trips). Art's WorkArt

Re: Lazy Daze Bloggers... Reply #15 – November 26, 2014, 12:38:18 pm Yahoo Message Number: 149724I avidly follow blogs of this nature, as well. Not all of the authors are fortunate enough to have a Lazy Daze for their adventures, but their blogs are interesting nonetheless. I keep a folder of bookmarks for such blogs and look forward each morning to read about others' adventures, dreaming about the day I will be able to participate.My list has become a bit discombobulated lately, so I would certainly welcome a list already put together that I could copy and enjoy.Virtual hugs,Judie http://dorrieanne.wordpress.com
Re: Lazy Daze Bloggers... Reply #16 – November 26, 2014, 01:32:22 pm Yahoo Message Number: 149725Cheryl, I like the idea of a file of Lazy Daze bloggers and appreciate your efforts in putting it together. Please feel free to add mine: made2wander dot blogspot dot com.

Re: Lazy Daze Bloggers... Reply #17 – November 27, 2014, 11:53:44 am Yahoo Message Number: 149736Well, its nice to see who was behind that email address. Hello Cheryl! I wasn't one that was upset, but apparently you took offense to my email. It was not my intention to upset the apple cart. Alot of us who maintain blogs, provide a list of our fellow LDer's blogs. I do delete a blog that hasn't been updated in a one years time, but they do get reposted eventually. I think of these lists as Meta tags - it brings interested folks to the blog, even if I haven't updated. Its a no brainer to search for Lazy Daze bloggers, doesn't take any time at all. Apparently, I missed the original messages on your desire to do such a list. Sorry, I've been pretty occupied downsizing and have not had time to read all the messages.What's with the so-called invading one's personal space stuff? Stepping on toes? Seriously! Why would anyone post anything on the internet if you were afraid your personal space was in jeopardy. Even writing emails - that info is reposted in ads elsewhere on the internet to target your interests. So I'm confused, guess I need to backtrack and read all the messages.I started a blog so that my friends and family could see what I'm up to while full-timing. Far simpler to post to the blog then answer a ton of emails. We who live out on the road are busy people...I stand corrected that yes, the links could be "cut and pasted" but from experience, if one can not just click on a link, the page gets no further action. Dead vs redundancy.If you want to put names with the titles of one's blog. Put the name is brackets ( ). I don't have a problem with that, but again folks going to the blog can find that out easily enough.And Cheryl... wonderful and amazing friendships have been formed with the Lazy Daze family - whether they have a blog or not. Its been an amazing time getting to know the diverse group that makes up this group.And congratulations on your new-to-you Lazy Daze. Enjoy! Its been an amazing journey in my Lazy Daze and wish nothing but the best to you as you start on your adventures.Melinda 2011 27' MB http://wovenjourney.blogspot.com Used to be named Tiglax, now its just Babe

Re: Lazy Daze Bloggers... Reply #19 – November 29, 2014, 03:00:08 am Yahoo Message Number: 149753We love reading blogs that are written by Lazy Daze folks. Full-timers tend to be the most interesting but there are others that don't feature the LD as prominently and are just as fun to read. Thanks for the list.Here is another. The 1949 BuickWe started this one primarily for family and friends but the Lazy Daze is a large part of what is written currently and in future posts. Dang, we haven't even updated it yet from the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta! What kind of bloggers are we?Dan and Lynn 2007 IB-30
Re: Lazy Daze Bloggers... Reply #20 – November 29, 2014, 08:53:37 am Yahoo Message Number: 149754That is a great blog, but I kept looking for something about the 1949 Buick. Great picture though. For you folks that are doing the blogging, what are you using for the blog? It looks like GoDaddy WordPress hosting is a pretty good deal at $1/month including the domain. Can WordPress be set up on any domain?Dick
