Linkage has been light the past few days, but tonight I warmed up my RSS reader and tracked down a raft of fresh posts from our favorite hiking/outdoor blogs. To wit:
Airplane Journal goes to Marin County for a hike along a trail most likely under water a few days later.
Jill in Alaska writes about a local woman who has the appalling habit of feeding local bald eagles, which have been implicated in the disappearance of somebody’s puppy.
Yosemite Blog notes that now’s the time to start reserving campsites in Yosemite National Park. Now, why you’d want to camp in any place that requires six months’ advance notice is your business.
GoBlog’s resident rock climber sends readers barking up trees because, well, it’s an excuse to buy more gear because, well, rock-climbing gear doesn’t grow on trees, nor does it work in them.
Simplehiker has a new home at simplehiker.com
Gadling says get yourself a Blue List (it’s one of them Lonely Planet things).
James Kew has some cool hummingbird pix.
Thank you for the post of my hard web address. I am having a heck of a time with TypePad. They are still insisting I pay 50 more dollars for an account I all ready paid for. I am not forced to deal with my credit cards buyers protection. I would love to hear where you host your blog and what software your using.
Thanks,

Josh: I use a service called http://www.blogomania.com, which is pretty reliable economical. For software, I use the free, unsupported version of Movable Type. Takes a bit of technical trickery to set up but the people at blogomania specialize in blogs so they’re pretty good about helping out (though you’ve got to do most of the install stuff yourself).
Robin: Geared up gas been in my RSS reader for a month or so.
You could always create it from scratch 😛
I am using my friend’s hosting company, because it’s cheap and of course because it’s my friend’s:

And for Blogging software, I am using WordPress. (wordpress.org), WordPress is very easy to install, you only have to upload the files, and create some databases (which is also easy to do from the hosting company’s web interface) and you’re pretty much done. Of course, if you want to design the layout of your website, using style sheet, then it’s a different story.
