BlastItBob Mar 2016 7:11pm, 29 Mar 2016 752 posts	0 BlastItBob I've been thinking about writing a blog for a number of months now and I was wondering what tools/sites other people use I know that there is the facility on here to write a blog but it probably won't end up being about running though I'm sure that there willbe some overlap Also any other guidance greatly appreciated

The chance of being read must be way higher than just starting some unknown blog that nobody will ever find. I blog some proper shite sometimes and always get some views. Blog here, BIB. If you don't we'll say you've got "notions".

Badger Mar 2016 2:06pm, 31 Mar 2016 7,141 posts	0 Badger I use blogger.com for things which target non-Fetchies, mainly walking trips where I want to share info with other people on the trip, and some software stuff; there are things like MathJax which let you post mathematical notation which blogger.com can support but FE doesn't AFAIK, which are useful for that. My FE posts average about 60 views and 6 comments; most of the posts on the other blog average about 50 views and about a third of a comment. I've deliberately publicised everything there by emailing the link to fellow walkers, and for some of them posting links on forums, there's a link on my profile, and I occasionally link to it from my blog here. And it still isn't getting significantly more views. (There is one which has over 2,500 views, but it's a Useful Resource (if you happen to own a Fenix 3)). There are 9 posts and one half-written on the other one, and no idea other than 'lots' on here. So all that to say, just go for it here, and maybe think about expanding elsewhere if there are people who would read it but who won't sign up to Fetch to do so.
