Comments on: David’s blog at Taiwanderful http://blog.taiwan-guide.org/2007/03/davids-blog-at-taiwanderful/ commentary on all things Taiwanese — Taiwan Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:43:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: David Reid http://blog.taiwan-guide.org/2007/03/davids-blog-at-taiwanderful/comment-page-1/#comment-11317 David Reid Tue, 20 Mar 2007 15:16:18 +0000 http://blog.taiwan-guide.org/2007/03/davids-blog-at-taiwanderful/#comment-11317 Carrie, I started writing David's Guide to Taiwan long before I had the blog. I also created a similar <a href="http://www.taiwan-guide.org/david/fujian/main.html" rel="nofollow">website about my travels in China</a>. Since I started blogging regularly I spent less time updating the website. Now at Taiwanderful editing is a much simpler process so I can easily update the existing articles. When I visit somewhere or do something that I plan to write about on my blog I will make an active effort to gather some useful information and incorporate that into the blog or Taiwanderful. I may also do some additional research before or after the visit. I don't post on my blog every day, so it does not constantly drain my time. Although it does take time to create each post.

Where do you find the time to write seperate posts for two different websites? Your information is top-notch and I've based several of my own excursions on the information you have posted on David on Formosa. Thanks for your reply David.

It is not just David's Guide to Taiwan -- anyone can contribute. If you feel your content would fit into the travel section of David's Guide to Taiwan you can post it there. If you want to start your own guide and expand it with more posts over time you're welcome to do that too. You can always move the posts around if you change your mind. The history of David's Guide to Taiwan goes back much further than this blog. Although I may copy a few of the blog posts into Taiwanderful most of the content is not the same.

The posts that I've written about my travels in Taiwan are informative for the reader (I hope) but also portray a personal journey. Should I add to your travel articles on Taiwanderful or should I start another book for personal accounts of travel in Taiwan? Taiwanderful is your baby, so what would you like to see happen? My other question is this. When do you switch your articles over to Taiwanderful? Do you post here first and then send them over to Taiwanderful or do you do everything at the same time? I'm a new blogger so I'm still trying to generate traffic and readers. I hope you understand where I'm coming from. I want to enjoy traffic on my own blog for these articles first and then I thought I'd submit to Taiwanderful. Any thoughts? Thanks David and since you have offered, I do have a few questions.

This is one of my favorite blogs and I recommend it to anyone coming to Taiwan or who has questions to ask. I've recently joined Taiwandeful as a member and I've been holding back on submitting entries because I want to see how you are managing to incorporate your posts here and there. So far, you're doing an admirable job. I think the time will soon come for me to submit my own private thoughts and travel experiences in Taiwan. Hi David,
