Write a CBF Blog?
« on: February 08, 2015, 23:42:22 PM »
I note the moves of members to Turkey (e.g. Menthol etc) are much enjoyed as members follow their adventure online. I too can find pieces and parts of our Turkish adventure and it's great to write all the stories of what happened but also to have a record of them on CBF to revisit. Some of my stories I had totally forgotten till I read them on here.

So it may be an idea that is going to die a death, but if anyone fancies starting a blog/web diary on CBF please do - for the entertainment of all of us and as a permanent record to update and look back on. Doesn't have to be about moving to Turkey particularly either  :)

Just start a new topic and reply to it with new happenings :D

Well it just so happens I have one I prepared earlier...
https://sowedecidedtomovetoturkey.wordpress.com

Sadly Google blog was banned by the Government and I never finished it, there's about 9 months worth handwritten and maybe one day I will type it up.
I've got as far as importing it into Wordpress.

What would be your thinking, Scunner?
Would you set up a separate section on the forum so that there could be separate threads - were you thinking one for each member, holidays and ex-pat tales separate?
Or just one thread somewhere and one big melting pot of anything and everything?
