[Murray] I'm aware a few people post check-ins to their site, but does anyone know of people doing more long-form journaling that includes content like location, maybe weather or some other "logs" of details, the kind of thing people traditionally did in diaries? Any particularly fun examples
#
[aciccarello] I do long-form travel journaling but don't include that level of detail.
#
[aciccarello] Here's one of my travel blog posts: https://www.ciccarello.me/blog/2022/09/10/wedding-in-washington/
#
[aciccarello] I do have some statistics in my year-in-review birding posts but it's still a pretty loose format https://www.ciccarello.me/blog/2023/06/30/birding-in-2022/
#
[Murray] I actually already have some of your posts saved to my "inspiration" note for the very thing I'm trying to work on 😅 But yes, this is exactly what I'm after 🙂
#
[aciccarello] There's someone with a really cool photo journal of their travels. I can't remember who it was though.
#
[Murray] I'm also going to Seattle for the first time this year, so currently reading that post and taking notes 😄
#
[Murray] possibly: https://paulstamatiou.com/photos/africa/northern-serengeti-tanzania/?
#
[aciccarello] Yes! That's the one.
#
[aciccarello] #goals
#
[aciccarello] I would love to do some birding in Africa. My last trip to the continent was before I got serious about it.
#
[Murray] Having been to Rwanda last year (and having South African family) I can recommend it 😉
#
[aciccarello] I mentioned in HWC, I still have some drafts from a trip to Italy a few years ago that I would still like to publish. Editing is hard though.
#
[aciccarello] My archive of photos feels overwhelming too.
#
[tantek] what is locaiton
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "locaiton" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "locaiton is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] argh
#
[tantek] what is location
#
Loqi location is a key aspect of checkin and event posts https://indieweb.org/location
#
[tantek] hmm, need to fix that dfn
#
[tantek] what is location
#
Loqi location is a key aspect of checkin & event posts, and also sometimes an aspect of posts in general, like where a note or photo/video was posted https://indieweb.org/location
#
[Murray] I feel the overwhelm 😅
#
[Murray] had not found that page, thanks, lots more to look through
#
[Murray] I'm intrigued that many people store the Swarm location as a link, but I've not found anyone that creates their own "location" pages
#
[tantek] what is a venue
#
Loqi 📍 A venue is a named location or address/geo that is typically used for checkins https://indieweb.org/venue
#
[tantek] [Murray] you mean like the folks listed in https://indieweb.org/venue#Indieweb_Examples ?
#
[Murray] Ah there we go! tantek++
#
Loqi tantek has 22 karma in this channel over the last year (105 in all channels)
#
[Murray] I figured it must be in there somewhere, had not found it 😄
#
[aciccarello] location << [https://www.voyagecollective.co/blog/why-you-should-stop-geo-tagging-your-travel-destinations-on-instagram Why you should stop geo-tagging your travel]
#
Loqi ok, I added "[https://www.voyagecollective.co/blog/why-you-should-stop-geo-tagging-your-travel-destinations-on-instagram Why you should stop geo-tagging your travel]" to the "See Also" section of /location https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=94487&oldid=94484

#
[aciccarello] I guess that should probably go under Issues. I can clean up later, but that's a debate that comes to mind whenever I hear the topic.
#
[tantek] That's a great response to the "don't geotag" nonsense
#
[aciccarello] I noticed that the Leave No Trace website had basically refuted a lot of what was being done in their name. I'm not sure what was originally on their principles though.
#
[tantek] that post is essentially right. a lot of that kind of "don't geotag" is thinly veiled racism/NIMBYism
