Edition 240: 11th August 2011
Hi ExplorOz Reader,
Where are you??? It appears many people must be away from home! If that's you, don't forget how useful it is to create blog updates when on location. Just send an email from your iphone/blackberry to blogs@exploroz.comYou don't even need to open the website and your blog will be automatically published, including photos. It also doesn't matter if your phone is out of service. The email will sit in wait until you reach service range (sometimes this can happen overnight in an otherwise patchy daytime service area). Here's some of the recent blogs created from people who used the email blog to send their trip updates. Your seemingly simple little trip snippets quickly clock up well over 200 views, many in the list show over 500 views and others over 800 views, which is equally as high as Forum posts (and sometimes higher) Go on, tease us... tell us how great your trip is going! Father's Day Sunday September 4thWith Fathers' Day coming up, make a choice to not only get a great present from our online shop enjoying home delivery, but with the knowledge that your purchase helps keep another small Australian business going in these difficult economic times. Keep an eye out for our Father's Day ideas coming next week. New Site Feedback SystemNow, you can place Comments, Reviews, and Questions directly on all Article, Trek Note, and Shop Item pages - with your say published automatically into the Forum.
