Hi, @moriahsdavis,Does anyone have a suggestion for a particular blog site I should use?
And there's no limit to how many "footprints" you post each day.Then you enter individual “footprints.” You can post up to 10 pictures per footprint (or more if you buy the premium version, but I just use the free version)
Thanks! I like what you did on yours. I'll look into Find Penguins more. It looks like my "cup of tea." I assume you did it all on your phone?Hi, @moriahsdavis,
I know there are several options, with slightly different features. But the one I like is Find Penguins. You first set up a trip. Then you enter individual “footprints.” You can post up to 10 pictures per footprint (or more if you buy the premium version, but I just use the free version). You can check out what I did this year for the Via Serrana and Invierno. It is very user friendly.
Yes, all on my phone. I use the microphone to dictate and then go back and clean up errors. Much easier than trying to type on the little keypad. I’ve found that the more I use the microphone, the better it gets. I can do it either in Spanish or English and the results are really very good.Thanks! I like what you did on yours.

Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't considered Facebook because my kids are younger and don't have accounts, but they do have tablets, so I'd like them to be able to personally access whatever I write. However, I think I will post on Facebook here and there! I like the idea of the memories coming up. That's always nice.I didn't have a blog when I walked, but I wrote a little update every day on Facebook for my friends and family. Now when I look back at those posts, it almost seems like a little blog. The posts also come up as memories sometimes, which is nice.
Another good thing about Find Penguins is that your friends and family don't have to have an account to view it. You can also add your Find Penguins posts to Facebook if you want.Thanks for the suggestion.

I used Polar Steps om my last year's Camino Francés. After editing your journey on completion, Polar Steps will turn it into a book.Hello!
My mom and I will be walking the Norte in September/October. I'd like to start a small blog to catalog our journey, and for our family back home to keep up with where we are/what we're doing, etc. This won't be anything big, or a money-making venture... Just a small way for a few people to stay connected with us and see pictures regularly.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a particular blog site I should use? Something easily managed on a smartphone and fairly user friendly for someone (me!) without blogging experience?
Thanks!
How cool! Thanks for the suggestion!I used Polar Steps om my last year's Camino Francés. After editing your journey on completion, Polar Steps will turn it into a book.View attachment 172209
You can actually post as many photos a day as you want with the free version because there is no limit to how many "footprints" you post each day. I usually just do one daily footprint, but if I have a lot of photos that I want to share I'll add another one.I also bought the premium version, which was a very reasonable $5 US per month, which allowed me to send up to 20 photos each day, another bonus.
You can create the posts as drafts and upload when you have an internet connection.The only other caveat I would add is, you can't post a "footprint" on Find Penguins if you don't have a wi-fi connection on your phone
Facebook is easy. Instagram should also be a good option. I'm planning to use both of them on my walk in September - October to raise money for the World's Children (Världens Barn) campaign in Sweden.Hello!

Another vote for Find Penguins. I’m using it now to document my trip to Donegal. When I get home, I’ll order the book. Given that I have yet to complete my son’s baby book (he’s 42) Find Penguins is a miracle!Hi, @moriahsdavis,
I know there are several options, with slightly different features. But the one I like is Find Penguins. You first set up a trip. Then you enter individual “footprints.” You can post up to 10 pictures per footprint (or more if you buy the premium version, but I just use the free version). No limit on number of footprints per trip (at least I haven’t reached it). You can check out what I did this year for the Via Serrana and Invierno. It is very user friendly.
hi do you know how best to capture the walk and post on fb and instagram. i have a charity but think a link to an external platform like find penguins maybe is a good idea rather than posting directly on fb. i also want to raise funds for my charity in australiaFacebook is easy. Instagram should also be a good option. I'm planning to use both of them on my walk in September - October to raise money for the World's Children (Världens Barn) campaign in Sweden.
Good luck and Buen Camino
I use Facebook to raise funds for breast cancer and for Leitrim Ireland’s GAA because it reaches more people and that’s important for fund raising.hi do you know how best to capture the walk and post on fb and instagram. i have a charity but think a link to an external platform like find penguins maybe is a good idea rather than posting directly on fb. i also want to raise funds for my charity in australia
I raised money for a stray dog charity on my walk, but I used Justgiving - Facebook is very clunky I find.hi do you know how best to capture the walk and post on fb and instagram. i have a charity but think a link to an external platform like find penguins maybe is a good idea rather than posting directly on fb. i also want to raise funds for my charity in australia

Find Penguins is likely to have a smaller audience since only people you invite to read your posts/footprints and who choose to accept your invitation will see it.
