A blog is much more like a news feed since you're basically just posting/publishing entries for people to read. You can present random material, and people are entertained by either following your life and adventures or what you have selected to share for the day. I see this much more like a virtual newspaper that you are publishing. On the other hand, something like historicroadmaps.com is not like a newspaper but like a library. People go there to browse and probably to look for something specific. Things are categorized and organized for ease of reference. So I see them as quite complementary. In a way, the blog could be monitored by people wanting to see what new items you are scanning and posting with a cross reference to the material actually stored and organized by state/media type/etc. on historicroadmaps.com. That's my four cents worth. Also, I was wondering what your plans are for historicroadmaps.com. Is that something that we can add scans and maps of our materials to also? Or is it meant to be an archive of only your items? Just wondering because I had a few things to possibly share. Chris
