My response was to your question:

Do I understand that correctly that because a forum member writes a trip report on their blog, it won't be listed in the trip reports section?

That is the question which remains unanswered.

Why would you understand that? How did you come to the conclusion they would not be listed in the trip reports section?

When I looked through the Trip Reports section, I noticed there are no reports listed for The TClife yet he has posted many trip reports. I also noticed I have several RV.NET trip reports listed but nothing from my blog trip reports of which several were also posted here.

The exception being 1 from me and 1 from TC in the Rally section.

So yeah, it looks like trip reports sourced from a blog do not get listed in the trip reports section. That brings back the question why not?

I am in agreement that I would appreciate trip reports better if they were posted on the Forum, not linked to a blog.

You being an employee of the forum, I appreciate and would expect that answer. Of course you would like to see reports via the forum. However, whether the report is created on RV.NET or a blog, it is still content and the conversational exchange about the post nearly always takes place on the forum adding to the forum content not the blog so the forum is the winner. It gets needed content and traffic resulting from that content not to mention continued interest for more content.

Have you ever read the the "Rallies, Shows and Gatherings" Forum?

Yes, I have glanced at it but not much activity there.
Truck camper people seem pretty much only interested in Truck camper activity.

It's really a matter of knowing if you put time into a post, will it be shared as much if it's from a blog. By shared with the forum I mean will it be listed in the trip report section like a trip report created here on the forum?
After looking through the TR section I'd say no, a trip report will not be available for future reference unless it is created on RV.NET.
Do you agree or disagree with that assessment?

Just looking for an answer to a question.
