Talkback Tuesday: Share Your Website or Blog

Tuesday is "Talkback" day, where I share what other people have to say

Lately, we've been getting lots of great comments and feedback from readers. You are full of good ideas and I am always interested to learn more about who you are.

Many of you already know that when you post a comment, there is a way for other readers to click your name and read more about you. However, not everyone reads all the comments, especially those on older posts.

Today I'd like to make the links between you and your websites more accessible to everyone else. Below, you should see a place to enter your name and website. This could be your own blog, a link to your resume, or any other place on the web where we can get to know you better. It doesn't necessarily have to be about RVing or bus conversions, just about you.

If you've been using the links available in the comments, please re-submit them below so they will be stored all in one place. If you have more than one website or blog, that's great, too. (Froggi Donna, I'm talking to you.) If you don't have a website, I hope you'll enjoy reading others'.

To get the ball rolling, I've put in our non-blog website. I promise to visit every single page submitted below, so thank you for participating!

(Edited to add: The box below to enter your website was generated by "Mr. Linky." They produce add-on scripts for websites. After you submit your URL, the script automatically asks you to submit a comment, but that isn't necessary here.)

hello there. Not sure how long I've been reading, but it has been quite a while, at least before your deployment in Baton Rouge. Found you through RV.net

William Malefyt said...

I enjoy reading your blog. Sure hope we can go full-time before it's too late!

Brian said...

We may cross trails in the next few days... but... Heidi and I escaped to the 'Snowies' for a few days... How fast are you rollin' north? Will you be stayin' in Northern Colorado anywhere for a bit... after Friday? :-) or are you rollin' on through?

Rod & Jean B. said...

Postcards said...

I love your blog too - and I really like your bus!

Louise said...

@Rod and Jean B: I deleted the link that didn't work. Yours should be good to go.

Hi...been reading your blog for some time now...love your rig. We are currently workamping in Branson, MO. I am in the process of creating a web site that is devoted to cooking for the rv'er. It will also have some fulltiming tips I have gleaned over the years.

Hi Sean and Louise,
As a lot of others out "here", we also have been enjoying your blog. My wife (Louise) and I were talking about you this morning...we have dry camped a number of times and really enjoyed it and now we are determined to do more. That's how you names came up. Keep up the great site, stay safe and healthy and keep enjoying your travels.

Louise said...

@Joel and Louise: I wanted to leave a comment on your blog, but it doesn't seem to be set up for that. Your photos are really wonderful, capturing the changing colors of the west in a way that my dinky camera doesn't. Makes me want to head out to the Badlands right now.

Thanks for dropping by!

Louise said...

@Goletaed: Another great photographer! You guys are making me ashamed of my meager shutterbug skills. Ed, the Yosemite pictures are really spectacular.

We enjoyed meeting you two in person in Houston last fall. Stay safe in your travels.

Hi Louise,

Nice idea Louise. Thanks.

Bradley said...

I love the idea, I like looking at your website, and reading your stories. We're building our own motorhome right now, I posted the link to our website. Just click on the New Hauler Page to see our progress.

God Bless!

You have been part of my daily life for about a year(your blog is a must-read every day), so maybe when we head out again, you'll "join" us too! I sure hope we cross paths one day.

Michael said...

an amazing bus...and an awsum journey! uh, 2..3 times the size of ol' Wanderwolf, at least!...lol...
Loved the "tour videos"!...

Jesse said...

I have been following since the Mexico Copper Canyon Trip. I just wish I could retire early and join the lucky ones on the road

Homeless said...

We've been enjoying your blog. We are amazed at how many other folks there are enjoying this lifestyle.

Brian said...

Hey Guys! Enjoyed meeting you 'in person' this afternoon... even gettin' scolded by Opal! :-) and you should know, Sean... gettin' a Kiss from Lily is a rare honor for somebody she just met! :-)
Take Good Care!

Ned B said...

Figured I ought to have an updated blog before I posted.

Former full timer in a 27' 5th wheel, and as such, I still hear the 'wild geese' calling to me every so often. Thankfully I'm also a bus nut, and found your blog , going way back to 'o6 at least. (things get a little fuzzy in the wayback machine section of my memory)

In addition to my woodshop project blog, I have a 'neat stuff I see while at work' blog

Travel safely!

Cool little idea here. Great blog and thanks for letting me add the link!

Busted Knuckle said...

Howdeee from TN Sean, Louise, and critters!
Well our website ain't exactly about RV's or RVing, but we do have the bus connection down! The website could use some work, but it's what I have for now! I still love following yer adventures, and as always ya'll are welcome to stop in anytime yer in the neighborhood. Our shop, and a parking place w/30A service are always at yer disposal! Take care, be safe and keep the great posts coming! ;D BK ;D

Michael Lockridge said...

Thanks for the invitation to share in your adventure!

Excellent sites such as your own allow those of us who can't presently travel (at all, or just not much) to enjoy a vicarious adventure.

Blog-on!

hello! thanks for the invite. enjoy the open road!

Joy and Phil said...

Just reconnected with your blog after a long gap. Started reading your blog soon after you started and was amazed with the remodel of the bus! Then, drifted away for whatever reason???? Glad to have found you again and hope to meet you some day down the road.
Safe Travels,
Joy and Phil

Rod Ivers said...

I enjoy your travels very much and really miss the posts when the red cross work has you otherwise occupied.
The train flat car posts and video thru the copper canyon is some of the best travel blogging I have ever read. I understand that has been discontinued due to saftey.
Keep up the good blogs, as we are hooked, LoL

Dave Thimgan said...

I love the content of your blog and will be following it...and will list it on mine...I am new to the blog world but am learning much from sites like yours.

Jumbocruiser said...

I read your blog every week from here in the UK, and admire what your two get up to. maybe one day I will convert one of the two UK Spaceliners and live the dream too.

dAwN said...

I have had your blog on my rv blogroll for a while now....I just noticed this area on your blog...and decided to put my link and check out a few others...
enjoy your journey...

Mike said...

I love your blog! Great information and tech tips. I really like the info on boondocking. Can't wait until we make it to the southwest states.

With all your experience, do you have any opinions on cellular amplifiers for use in an RV? We camp in northern Minnesota and getting a signal can be tough at times. I'm looking at units that are advertised for marine and RV use that amplify to 3 watts. Your thoughts??

Sean said...

@Mike,

We don't use an amplifier ourselves.

More important than the amplifier itself are two factors: the quality (and location) of the outdoor antenna, and the separation of the outdoor and indoor antennas to minimize signal interference.

Selecting a directional antenna (higher gain) and being able to aim it in the proper direction will probably deliver the best result, but aiming a directional antenna without proper signal meters is difficult. You are probably best off with a high-gain omnidirectional antenna mounted as close to the center of the rig as possible.

Wilson, among others, makes the amplifiers, and I haven't heard anything negative about them. Many folks favor antennas made by Digital Antenna.

-Sean

What a great way to share sites and stories, Thanks Sean! Stay safe during your travels! ~Paul~

Mike said...

Sean,

Thanks for the info and advice on the cellular amplifier.

Much appriciated!
