It's wonderful writing trip reports as you get to reminisce about your holiday with other people who love Florida as much as you do. You also have those memories stored for a rainy day.

The practicalities are it takes a lot of time, well I suppose it depends on how much detail you go into and how many photos you want to include.

Waltforit already explained the image upload. To help with the index I usually create the index first and give it a brief outline of who we are and where we went, then I'll link in the pre trip report. To do this I have 2 pages of the dibb open at the same time with the index on one and the page I want to link on the other. I copy the url address from the pre trip page then in the index post you click on the little paperclip and paste the link you can write over the top so that the link isn't just internet speak so I usually rename the link to pre trip or whatever day it is I'm posting.

I hope all that makes sense, it's actually pretty easy to link posts together in the index.

Personally I prefer to write the day in a word document first as I've been caught out before with my internet going down so I don't just start the thread and type everything into the post box. I write the day, then leave it a few days go back and edit the day for mistakes and corrections and additions. Then I sort through the photos I want to include for the day. Then a few more days have passed and I start the post on here by copying and pasting from word. Then I upload photos and insert them in the right places.

I hope you do give it a go. It's great fun
