Overlanders.org This site will be for the hosting of trans-continent trips free of charge. It will focus the concept that travelers would email the build up to the trip (vehicle preparation, etc) and then the journal which I will prepare and post on this site, with pictures of course. Each traveler will would get a two tier webpage off the main menu (see example). This will give the traveler a live website, where they just need to send an email on their travels. And the best part is that they will not have to try and create a website after the trip. Although this site focuses on trans-continent trips, I will also host short trips from around the world. Once there are a few trips from a person, I shall group them together. But I will be concentrating on the extended trips, and supporting the travelers.
I will also migrate any existing trip sites. This is mainly for those that have completed their trip, and now do not want to continue maintaining their existing site.
If you have trip report of Sub-Sahara Africa, and have trip reports to contribute, I can strongly recommend posting them on http://www.overland.co.za. Overland.co.za is dedicated to overland travel in Sub-Sahara Africa. Unless specifically request not to, all Sub-Sahara Africa trips will also be forward to overland.co.za. This website is not intended as, nor will be in competition to overland.co.za. Please contact me on siteadmin_at_overlanders_org if you are interested.
If you would like your own domain and website, I can supply this, along with access (if required) for you to update yourself. There will then be an annual cost of roughly $100.00 [R600] (depends on the costs of the annual domain fee), and a setup fee of $100 [R600]. The agreement will be that once you do not want to your own domain anymore, all travel type articles will be incorporated into the main overlanders.org website. There is no charge, but of course donations would be gladly accepted as I pay for the server from my own pocket. |
