Long time reader, first time commenting!

Thank you so much for all the great tips in setting up a blog.

We have been travelling for a few years now and always dreamed of setting up a blog.

We used this guide to get the ball rolling and now our website is live!

Thanks again.

Using Elementor with WordPress, is there a decent plugin you can recommend to categorize pictures in the Media Library? Filebird does the job but only allows 10 folders which isn’t sufficient if you need at least one per country.
Thanks in advance!!

So after we picked our website for a blog, which hosting company would you recommend? Thank you very much!

This definitely takes care of all the technical details in setting up a travel blog. Now all you need is to go write!

If you enjoy writing, you’ll have fun regardless. As other people have commented, the people who can make a living on this stuff are the top fraction of the top 1%. That’s not to say you can’t do it, but if you focus on the money, it’ll feel more like a job than fun. So focusing on the writing and the stories is what helps me keep going, but I’m not in it for the money. Good luck with it, and let me know if I can help at all.

I wanted to start a gallery of my traveling. So, I need to build up a simple website for it. I have hired a professional for a blog website called “simple but how”. But I want to learn simple web design by myself. You post help me a lot. But facing lots of issues with it. Wish me luck!

I have travelled to over 50 countrise, a lot of that cycling touring. I am starting a blog/site as I am still travelling and my day job is now done. What is the best way to re-visit my past trips? I was thinking, “Amy’s top cycling days” or “Top hikes with beach time”?

Some listed countries will be a few years old (4 to 5 years old).

Thanks!

great stuff on this post.
I am passionate about travelling having visited 47 countries so far.
I still have 9-5 job though which means i make max 2-3 trips per year to new places.
It feels like it’s about time i go online with this and a i have a lot to post about past trips. So my question is: does this make any sense? posting about trips in the past? or people want to read only up-to-date fresh content?
It will take a great deal of effort and time to post all this material (and obviously some date up to 20 years back) so any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

I have been wanting to start my own blog for ages, I was able to set it up a blog on Host Gator in under an hour!
