Sammy,
A few years ago I switched to a blog format using google BlogSpot. Your pictures in the blog can be linked or inserted in a different site.
We have been traveling more to Europe of late, and I have been using
Slow Europe, but as TTOL followers leans toward SXM and BVI - Slow Europe is mostly Italy and France.
Other European Countries play second fiddle, and the World Wide not very active. However it is a great interface, pictures can be upload directly from your desktop or to a photo repository. The participants are definitely from all over - Australia to Israel and all points in between.
My heart is still here at TTOL, but trip reports and photo management can be tough and that is why I headed to blog.
