Not much of a world trip yet is it?
We haven't left yet, the first part of the trip starts in mid September, so you'll just have to be patient until then...
Photos
There will be some photos on this page, but probably only one or two with each note. We will upload more pictures when we can and you will be able to view these at Flickr.com by clicking on the photos at the left side of the page.
How do the email updates work?
If you'd like to receive an email each time we update the site please enter your email address in one of the boxes at the top of the page. Both services are free, and the emails contain a link to unsubscribe if you wish.
Why are there two different choices?
Mainly because we've only had a short time to test them so we don't really know which is the best. In the limited testing we've done RMail seems to be the best for two reasons:
Firstly because it seems on average to send the notification emails more promptly (although both will usually send them out within a few hours), and secondly because the format looks better and it includes the title of the latest post as the email subject (instead of just 'Update Alert').
Whichever one you choose to use you might want to add the sending address to your email address book, this may help to avoid them getting identified as Spam:
RMail: Rmail@kbcafe.com
Bot A Blog: bot@botablog.com
