About the diaries

I have two problems with blogging a vacation:

1) The blog system tends to restrict the size of your photographs posted, and I am very keen about showing my photography as big as your screen can stand.

2) We're paying by the minute for our internet connection on-board, and you have to be on the whole time you're typing into the blog system. (I'm just not fond of "cloud computing" anyway, it's slow and restrictive.)

So, I have put together web pages which I can compose at leisure, fill with photos large and small, and I'll just log in long enough to post the link. I've long developed a system for putting presentations on the web, with an index page of thumbnails and comments, and you can either click on the thumbnail for a "screen size" version, or the JPG file name above that, for the full, huge, multi-megapixel photo file.

My first entry is about my grandmother's diaries. They are quite a family treasure, as was she.

Have a look at the page on them I have put together at:

...and then use the blog for comments!

Happy reading!
