A Hiking Blog is a Labor of Love...
by: Rob--Site Admin.

Anne, I love the question.

Any blog, whether it's about hiking, food, or coin-collecting, is truly a labor of love.

Of course, it's easy enough to set up a really generic and uninteresting blog with not much value to surfers on the internet.

As you probably know there are popular and free publishers like Blogger and WordPress and they make it quite easy to make a high quality blog.

Any of these do take some time to get used to, and there will probably be a healthy amount of trial and error until you get the format of your page just right.

Once you get the format of your blog just the way you want it, the time you spend is really up to you...

I think around 10 hours per week is a good minimum for adding valuable interesting content to your pages. But it could take more than that! It really depends on how long YOU want to devote to your blog.

One great option for you and other hikers who want to publish pages about their hikes, but who are short on time, is to publish through our site!

Using the same type of form you used to post to this Forum, you can build a real web page about your latest hike, a hiking adventure, a review of your new hiking boots, and more.

It's much easier and less-time consuming than setting up and adding to a blog. AND you can share your new pages with your friends on Twitter and Facebook.

You can start a review of your latest or favorite hike here:

YOUR Hikes! Hiking Trail Reviews by You...

P.S. If you start posting several great hike review "blog" pages at hiking-trails-and-gear.com, we might even open up a page specifically for YOUR blog posts!
