Traveling Dave

I’m assuming you may have, or have already asked, the following questions. So let me take a moment to answer some of your questions about this whole webernet thing.

“Let me call Dave real fast and ask him how to do this.”

No. Seriously, don’t. It’s not that hard. Read ALL the directions and try. (By try I mean actually clicking on stuff).

“What is this (site)?” Or “What’s a blog?”

A blog is a type of web site that is organized in chronological order; listed in the order written. That’s it. Nothing more complicated. There are other ways to organize them (tags, categories, etc), but if you’re asking the above question, don’t worry about those organization methods. Just know the articles/stories appear in the order I write them.

It’s grown in popularity recently but the reasons for such growth are another article on another day.

“What’s the difference between this site and Twitter?”

Length. As in length of my posts. My Twitter posts are limited to 140 characters. The blog post can be more verbose. You can see my last few Twitter posts on the this site but in order to read them all click on the the link “Traveling Dave on Twitter.” Or you can view them directly at http://www.twitter.com/travelingdave. There are other differences, but none that you have to worry about.

“What’s a comment?”

You can leave comments/notes at the end of every post. (A post is kinda like an article or story, each with a headline and the article).

“Why would I add a comment?”

Well, we all have our own reasons, but it’s a way to give feedback and discuss the various adventures.

“How do I leave a comment?”

There’s a link that says “add a comment” on every post. Click it then follow the directions.

“Why can’t I see the comments after I post them?”

In order to make sure this site stays family friendly I have to approve all comments. You also need to supply your name and email address. Again, just a way for me to keep the crazy heads out; at least the crazy heads I don’t know personally.

I hope you find this little Q&A helpful. What if you’ve 1) tried, 2) read the WHOLE page and 3) are still having trouble? If you’re still having trouble yes you can email, call or ask me in person (if you’re so lucky) and I’ll help you.
