| Warm Showers bike touring guest during a local bike photo tour |
While visiting with Warm Showers bike touring guest Jazael Martinez we discussed many of the technical challenges of documenting a bike tour while tent camping and riding most of the day. He was feeling frustrated that he was unable to find the time or means of getting his content and or ideas on to his blog. Another frustration was how to back up and access his many photos.
After sharing what little I knew that could be of help he commented that he wished he would have thought of those things prior to leaving on his tour. So this post is being created as an effort to help resolve some of those issues. I installed bluemail email app onto my seven inch RCA Voyager Pro tablet so I could insert photos to accompany this text and emailed it to my blogger posting email address. All the content was created without needing wifi. Photos are resized with the PhotoMate app and saved to an SD card. While composing this content I added the resized photos you see here from the SD card in the body of email message with the blog title entered in the subject line of the email. BlueMail also allows you to insert photos from google drive, amazon photos, google photos, pretty much anywhere you might have photos backed up.
I then installed a free Blogger app called Blogger User Panel onto the same tablet for editing which requires wifi access. Editing consists of adding links to information, editing photo placement and adding caption information. To summarize blog photos resized and placed with text content for posting can be done offline. I can use my phone for wifi access and simply send the email content. Later, with wifi access that doesn't use up phone plan data the content and can be edited for better search results and appearance. Anyhow, I have been pleasantly surprised by the results and looking forward to a much improved ease of use for sharing content while traveling and hope this information is helpful to anyone looking to document their own travelogue in whatever way that means to you. Jazael also asked me if I do any cooking while bike touring but that's for another post. Here's a link to Jazael's blog which documents his ride from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Orlando, Florida by way of Mexico : )
