I think these are wonderful. Before we started sailing, just a few short years ago, I read many, many of these blogs, especially UK based ones. I got tremendous pleasure from them, and it encouraged us to bite the bullet and learn to sail (at Dunstaffnage).
I now have my own, and hopefully, someone will oneday read it and think - I'd like to try that.
Keep em coming.

I'm unstickying this, everyone's had a chance to see it. I will send out one more mass email in a month or so but before the Summer the original site will have to go I am afraid. A lot of good blogs will be lost, but I certainly don't have time to save them all if their owners aren't interested. Perhaps some of you could 'adopt a blog' and save one you think merits it . . . happy to set up Yotblog accounts for this purpose.

Re: YOTBLOG RIDES AGAIN
Hi
I have a YotBlog, but haven't done very much with it. I've realised that I'm not a great wordsmith - I find it hard to hit the middle road between writing in bullet points and being too verbose and bogged down in ( boring to others ) detail.
I had already saved my blog to disc by following the advice on this thread - viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3233&hilit=yotblog so I presume that I could use that to start a new blog if I decided to sign up.
I would think that others, who might not have responded to previous threads, might be in the same position.
If there is anything that peeps feel should be saved, then I would volunteer to put some time into it.

Re: YOTBLOG RIDES AGAIN

Just been checking the server logs and the old Yotblog (yotblog.co.uk) is still getting 1.4GB-worth of traffic per month, so quite a few of people are still looking at it, or parts of it.
If anyone wants to 'adopt a blog' let me know and I will set the blog up on the new system so you can transfer it. It's a few hours solid work for most blogs, copying, pasting, reformatting.
