We will start our retirement and RV adventures July 1st. We are interested in keeping our family informed about where we are traveling and blogging about our travels. Does anyone have a great software or web option for this project? Thanks for your advise.
You can also use Google Maps GPS function if you have an Android smart phone like the Verizon Droid. Friends with Google Maps on their computers can track you every movement! Sometimes that is a good thing and sometimes... I also added a Google map to my blog and then everyone can see where I went. If I had thought of it I could have done that with each blog entry.

I sure think that Blogger is the simplest way to go. We do a seminar called 'Every RVer Needs a Blog' ... we did it at the RV-Dreams rally just a couple days ago. You can download the handout for that seminar on our website: http://www.geeksontour.com/blogger.cfm
There are many ways to put your travels on a map. Probably the easiest is by geotagging your photos with Picasa and uploading them to Picasa Web Albums. See this free video to show you how: http://www.geeksontour.com/showme/picasa/pic329_35geotag.cfm

The easiest way of just putting a map into a Blog post is by using Live Writer. See this free show-me video on that:
