Writing the Potted History of Travel Blog
Togo
People read blogs for many reasons, one bigreason is your Mother, she
will read anything you write, because she is your Mother. However, for the rest
of us, we will find your blog when we do a search, probably I am planning a trip
to say, Togo and I want to learn about Togo. I do a search in Google.com for the
words Togo, that brings up a few million result and realize, that was too
general. I would then search for,
Togo Hotels or Togo Airplane Flights or
If I was Joe Blow, I would search for these, I am not Joe, I am Andy,
therefore I search for what I want to search, however the fast majority will
search for something like Hotels or Air Fares, etc for Togo.
Along they way, we begin to want to know, where where are going and what are
the facts? The facts can be easy, or you can make them up, personally I
recommend you find some good governmental sources, or use the Encyclopedia, I
find web pages full of inaccurate and misleading information. A prime time
television reader wants the MTV version, full of opinions, pop phrases and other
misleading information.
Whatever you want to do, you need to first know your facts, before you use
them the way you wish to use them, the good the bad and the Ugly. I personally
do not try to mislead, however the vast majority of Travel Writing is meant to
sell a tour, know your goal.
The government is great, Wikipedia.org is great, both allow you to use their
great work to make your Potted History on the Travel Blog.
We needa Beginning, Middle and End, to make your Potted History is the
Introduction or the Beginning.

Try to stay with the Government pages, and read the information on
copyrights, not a big legal problem,however if you get your wish and some
day you become a famous Travel Writer, you will find, you cannot steal
information, the world does not like that, you can use, reference and source
information, however to just plagiarize is a no no, learn what is available and
pretend you will be one day famous.
