Sailing Blogger

***PLEASE NOTE THIS SITE IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT, WE WILL HAVE IT UP AND RUNNING IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS - You can sign up for a blog now at the bottom of the page, though full functionality will not be available at the moment, and the layout will be subject to minor alteration (such as getting it to work in Internet Explorer! - still, everyone should be using Firefox 3…). Thanks for looking***
Welcome to sailingblogger.com. We offer a totally free blogging platform, that we have customised for the specific needs of sailors, including ocean racers, blue-water cruisers and local racing clubs. It takes minutes to setup your site and start blogging, and to get your domain name - yourboatname.sailingblogger.com.

Key features:

• Geo-location blog entries - we have developed unique functionality to automatically put all your blog entries onto a Google map. You can send emails which are automatically published as blog entries and mark the position you sent it on the map. This provides a track of your progress with information on where you were when you made the blog entry.



• Easy to use - we have done all the hard work for you, so all you need to do is create an account at www.sailingblogger.com and within minutes you can start blogging!
• Photo-gallery integration - you can easily create great looking flash photo galleries, either by uploading you photo directly or by integrating with your Flickr account, probably the best web photo service (well in our view anyway)
• Easy Youtube integration - copy and paste code to put youtube videos on your site in seconds
• Industrial platform - we use the Wordpress platform to host our blogs, giving access to the huge range of Wordpress plugins and a huge open source developer community who work tirelessly to improve and develop new features. These are then made available for your use…for free!

Easy youtube integration - just copy and past URLs!
