housekeeping note

Blogging with the new Blogger interface is very difficult to do on a phone.  It's not as bad as I'd thought it would be when I'm on a computer, but for cell phones, the interface sucks.  I might handle future hiking days the way I did last year:  I'll take a slew of pics, which I'll save, and I'll upload only a handful of them, saving the full upload for when I get back.  There's a risk in doing that, of course:  people who read the blog up to October 26 might think to themselves, "Well, that's it, I guess," and abandon the blog before they get a chance to see the full spread of photos.  Or they might abandon the blog despite knowing that more pics are on the way.  I'm not sure how well things worked out last year when I did this; I have a very small core of readers who will likely remain with the blog and wait for the final pic dump, but as with any readership, there are also the lazy and the faithless, who won't put in the time and effort to stick around for the final round of images.  Nothing I can do about that; that's just demographics:  people and their personalities fall on a bell curve.  That said, if one of you is a marketing genius who can suggest ways to motivate more of the audience to stick around—or who can suggest a photo-upload method that isn't onerous to me and doesn't overly tax the audience's attentiveness—then I'm all ears.  Leave a comment.

NB:  I'm on a computer here in Yangpyeong.  It's not great, but it's easier than blogging on the phone, which had been taking me literal hours to do.  I don't have that kind of time or energy.
