Welcome to freesailingblogs.com!
August 16th, 2008
Welcome to freesailingblogs.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. We host all our free sailing blogs (and soon yours too we hope) on www.sailingblogger.com.
The design and layout you see here is built on the same platform as our free sailing blogs, so you will have access to all of the functionality you see here. 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 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!
