New “Trips” page

11 04 2010

As you have probably noticed, I changed the theme of the blog.  I hope the upgrade went OK – I can’t really tell from where I’m sitting.  Hopefully you’ll let me know is something is wrong.  How do YOU like the change though?

I just created a summary page with all the trips on this blog (…I know they are only 3 now but will hopefully be many more in the future :).  You can access the page here or in the new menu above under “The trips on this blog”.  I also removed the South East Asia map that has been accessible on the right hand side.  The map can now be found on the new Trips page.

If you have any comments or recommendations – please post them to me!





Three months of blogging

12 03 2010

I noticed that I’m closing in on 3,000 visitors to the blog, excluding those that read the blog on facebook, after just over three months of blogging.  The blog will probably go over the 3,000th visitor mark today or tomorrow ;)  In celebration I went out and bought my self my own domain.  You can now use the blog.ornthordarson.com to get to my blog.

It has really surprised me how much I like to blog and seeing that people are reading my stuff.   I would be very happy if you would help me spread the word around so I could reach an even wider audience.  Just point people to blog.ornthordarson.com and I’ll try to take care of the rest.

I really want to get my readers more engaged and have them comment more and I’ll have to find a way to do that.  I have heard from a few but would like to hear from some others. 

Are there any topics that you would like discussed here?  Is there anything you would like to know about South East Asia or China as we head there?  I’ll be happy to write about any topic and offer my opinion and maybe first hand knowledge.  Just send me a comment in any language – I’ll use Google translator if I don’t understand the language my self :)
