The question is - how do I make it more interesting? I am going to change to using my iphone to do the feed now. The image will be much larger. No more rear camera, that was just silly. Additionally the resulting timelapse movies will be in HD or something closer to it which will be nice. A lot of people I know who might check in on the blog will probably never make a trip across the country, so the idea was to show them a little bit of what we're seeing. I'd like to find some kind of liveblogging iphone app/drupal module so that I can just randomly upload pics of things we see without too much effort.
The view straight down the road can so often be so bland, traffic, pavement, etc. In most of the southeastern US...travel on many highways are like driving through green gullies! Most of the time, as you probably already know, the best sights are off to each side. Many times you only see something great once you get off the Interstates highways, slow down and take time to stop often. Chose routes that go directly "into" rural areas instead a hurried way "through them". For example the worst way to see Nebraska is to go down I-80!
Your blogsite does seem to show you give interesting info so how much more interesting do you need to be? What you see is what there is!
Not everyone follows blog sites because there are so many of them! I could name over a dozen. We don't even bother going to them on a regular basis anymore. Life gets busy and it takes a lot of time to spend hours visiting blog sites! Blogs are for when there is nothing else to do...and seldom does that happen!
