chronistin 0 #1 July 12, 2002 There's a lot of weblogs out there in the big ww-world, and not so many but still quite a few skydivers. Anyone know of a weblogging skydiver / skydiving weblogger out there? Am I the only one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chronistin 0 #4 July 12, 2002 Great site, but i wasn't thinking about jumplogs (have seen a few of them & like to read them when i come across them). I'm looking for jumpers with weblogs as seen on http://www.weblogs.com/ (or like over at blogger's http://www.blogger.com/ or antville http://www.antville.org/, or...) anybody? anywhere? any language? ;) (mine is at http://mehrwortsteuer.antville.org, but it's in german Chronistin (Home @ http://www.fallschirmspringer.net/) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfields 0 #5 July 12, 2002 Oh... that. I thought you meant web jumplogs. You mean skydivers with web journals that just happen to include their jumping. Right? If so, than I am definitely not suited. I couldn't keep up, no matter how short the daily entries were. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildblue 4 #20 July 12, 2002 chronistin weren't you the webmaster for skydance.at? what happened to that?it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chronistin 0 #21 July 12, 2002 Quoteweren't you the webmaster for skydance.at? what happened to that? yep, that's right. what happenend? well, i spent an increasing amount of time hunting for skydiving news - wanting to be the first to post any german-language skydiving news. while there are a lot of sites doing that for the english-speaking skydiver (dropzone being my favorite), there is no comparable site for german-speaking people (skyger is at least trying: http://www.skyger.de). but i just can't afford to spend 3 or 4 hours a day hunting for all those skydiving related news... i had always thought that after a while, dzo's & their likes would start to send me their info, but it never happenend. maybe there's really no need for the kind of service i had in mind... or maybe it was just the wrong time to start it... or maybe it has to be done differently. we will see... greez Andrea || Chronistin Chronistin (Home @ http://www.fallschirmspringer.net/) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
