I logged on this evening to see my list of followers has increased exponentially, and I have Martin Rye of Summit and Valley to thank for it. Ive been following his blog since the middle of last year, anonymously I must say until I found out exactly what the whole blogging thing was all about and started up myself.
Im still a rookie as it were in the blogging world and talk of 'keywords', 'analytics' and 'linking to others' is still a bit of a mystery. Im a relatively smart guy so I should catch up in time but for me, the most important thing at the minute is that I hit those hills as often as possible and then come back and write about it and share my experiences with you lot.
So thats what im going to continue to do so I hope you enjoy my blurb.
Back soon.

Welcome to the world of blogging Stuart! Don't bother with all that computery stuff - just get out, walk, climb, bothy, camp, whatever, then blog about it :) I'd be really interested in hearing your views on land access in Ireland - I hear it's pretty bad over there. Good luck with the blog!
ReplyDeleteOh i have some stuff to say on that dont worry, but thats for another post. Thanks for the support.
ReplyDeleteHi Stuart
ReplyDeleteYet another person to find you from Martins Site! Interested to hear what your're never been done achievement is going to be! And cheers for the link to challenge walks, will have to try to get myself to a couple of those!
Keith
It's all about the content!
ReplyDeleteWell Keith, so far its only a 'never been done before challenge' i have yet to find any record of it. All will be revealed in good time.
ReplyDeleteHey Stuart, good stuff here! I think it's always interesting to find out about "walking" on the other side of the pond. Wanna follow me, too? www.soredirtywet.blogspot.com :)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work. There will be a lot more of us keeping an eye on you through Google Reader
ReplyDeleteHi Stuart, I like the blog, and that's a great header-pic!
ReplyDeleteConsider yourself bookmarked on my blog. Unlike some folk, I don't demand a reciprocal link :-)
Pointed this way by Martin. Looking forward to finding out a lot more about the hills of Ireland. Spent a summer week in the Reeks ten years ago, and loved it!
ReplyDeleteDevin, consider it done.
ReplyDeleteBG i saw your bearded git blog last night and enjoyed the bank post! Im a fellow bearded git so we have something in common already!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul, the Reeks are spectacular, but theres so much more we have to offer over here, im busting a gut to get back to Connemara, just wait til you see what we have there...
ReplyDeleteStuart, it looks as if you've made a good start. Those Irish hills really do need celebrating and your photos and writings remind me that I need to see more of the place. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThe Followers list is (I think) limited to those who use the Google Friend Connect thingy. There will be others who have your blog in their RSS aggregator but don't appear as Followers.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what facilities Blogger provides for analysing the blog visits, but it can be interesting - and sometimes very surprising - to see all the logs.
Well, now you've got an Alaskan on your list...
ReplyDeleteKeep writing, keep wandering!
Hey, thanks Stuart! I'm just starting to regularly update mine, so hopefully it will become more than a charity add. :)
