We all know that the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. However, I’ve tried to start that journey with a huge seven-league step without the necessary magic boots.
What I’m seeking to do is to create on online presence using a variety of different ways, all seeking to do a slightly different task. Here’s what I’m working on…
- www.trosgol.co.uk Our website that promotes Trosgol, our self-catering accommodation alongside our home. Plans are to add many more pages and links to the site, with things to do in the area which will hopefully improve our web showing and bring in more business
- TROSGOL page on Facebook Plans are to put special offers there for friends and previous guests and to have lots of pictures and maybe videos
- hiraethblog.blogspot.com That’s my new blog, “Hiraeth -connecting with the land” in which I’ll write on anything to do with the land I love – Wales. It will link in with my site below.
- www.hiraeth.org.uk An eclectic website of things Welsh that interest me. There’s nothing but a front page written but now I’ve announced it, I’ll have to write down the content that’s buzzing through my mind!
- twitter Follow me, gw1pcd on twitter. That’s my amateur radio callsign in case you wondered. I’m still thinking about how to integrate it overall, but my posts appear on Facebook.
Foolishly, I’m working on all these things simultaneously. I basically don’t work well unless there’s some pressure, so publishing this is committing me to work on all these things and maintain them!
I’d be pleased to include your contributions to www.hiraeth.org.uk They can be about anything Welsh: history, mountains, castles, railways, mining, beaches, language, politics, people, religious history. Send me copy and photographs (for which you own the copyright which I’ll acknowledge).
The Welsh word for journey is taith. However, it means more than the English word of getting between point A and point B. It is about all that happens along the way, an adventure, a trek, a quest, a venture, a voyage, a mission. My journey to write all those items is certainly going to be a taith.
