My Blog evolves.....


Bob Reid

You know, when Rmweb3 appeared, I really couldn't get my head round how to fit in layouts and workbenches in the old sense to this new environment. First I tried dumping all the old workbench topic I had directly into the new blog format, then I added a couple of updates...... Then it fell apart at that point! No reactions from anybody but the odd soul (sorry Max, your not that old) who follow my wanderings, no real indication of whose actually reading the thing (if only to make it all seem worthwhile) :rolleyes: anyway the light went on last week when I noticed how much more "interactivity" of the type I was happy with there was for those who created separate topics (as opposed to blogs) for their layouts and workbenches. So this is the format I've arrived at;

 

I'll create separate conventional topics for my 4mm Layout (in it's MkIV iteration) and individual workbenches for my Rolling Stock work.

 

The "Blog" will just be a regular diary of my wanderings around the Scottish region, in model and protoype form, with more "magazine" like short articles on what I come across - on anything railway orientated that takes my fancy....

 

If you would like to contribute to this and pass comment please do - This is perhaps not what Andy Y intended for this medium however it's at least one I'll be comfortable with :)

I think that may be they way forward Bob. I'm looking at that for my own future input.

good luck with the new approach, I'll be keeping an eye out.

Cheers Dave. The first short article (which will be of Caledonian interest to you) follows shortly!

I just think you find your own way and write what you are comfortable with. I just chunter about the most recent workbench activity, but what is noticeable is that the same people keep coming back. I think with the blog you tend to follow people more than topics, whereas with threads this is reversed.

Feel free to blog about BR coaching stock, real or model, the Mk2 build was really informative.

Good point 28ten! I still intend to use the blog for general carriage stuff - there is a lot I come across when searching out or creating drawings for folk that would be best suited to this "occasional" format I've chosen, that (obviously) are not particularly linked to a more specific layout or workbench thread! This 'drop by' format for me looks to be the best for that kind of thing!
