I am all for onscreen reading, and consumption of content via electronic media.

However, in my case, when I need some quick content extraction, nothing works better than p & p media: pen & paper.

The pen part is quite easy to solve, but sometimes I struggle on transforming the electronic media to paper.

More specifically, sometimes I discover some great blog, with quite a big amount of posts, that doesn’t offer any easy printing solution.

The world of SEO remains a mystery to me, and I have never really given much thought on how an unmanaged and unoptimized blog should measure up on daily visits.

So, when browsing the daily visit statistics for this blog from time to time, I expect anything from 10 to 60.

However, a couple of days ago, I was quite surprised to see only 2 visits.

Surely enough, a quick visit to the homepage showed a blank page.

Is there a nice geolocation-oriented gallery plugin for Wordpress, with comment possibilities, internationalized, easy to install and easy to maintain?

Is it possible to outsource my gallery needs to an already existing site which I can simply embed here?

Probably the answer to both of these questions is yes, but I couldn’t help reinventing the wheel, and creating my own PHP i18n-friendly geolocation-oriented Wordpress-integrated gallery.

Blogging can be fueled by various reasons:

  • Ego satisfaction
  • As a means of expressing personal creativity
  • As a profession
  • As an extra source of income
  • Any other reason

If one or several of these motivations just happened to find you, then you are probably standing now on the first steps of the path to blogging.

Perhaps this is not the first time that you start this journey, and the path that you see is clear.

But if, like me, you are new to blogging, then several questions can arise.

Moreover, if you’re idea is to give birth to a multilingual blog, then even more questions can defer the moment of your first blog entry.

Here are my personal discoveries on the way from blog idea to blog life, in 6 quick steps.

If you know where you want to go, but are not quite sure on how to get there, maybe they can help on pointing out the way.
