This is as unscientific as a survey can get, but nonetheless, the feedback it generates will be very useful.

SURVEY QUESTIONS
---------------------
1.) Do you currently have a website or web presence where you share your photos and/or trip reports/travelogues?
Examples include:
- other outdoor recreation/travel websites;
- a personal website (your own domain name);
- a personal website (through your ISP, such as AOL or Roadrunner)
- a "blog" or online journal (Blogger, Yahoo, Wordpress, Greymatter, etc.)
- a Flickr.com photo gallery
* Please share the web addresses/URLs if you have any of these you don't mind sharing.
Yes.
website:
USAer.com
blog:
USAer Blog
2.) Do you send emails to friends and family either before or after a trip/outing to share information, stories and/or photos about the trip?
Sometimes.
3.) Regardless of your answers to #1 & #2, if WildTexas.com provided hosting for a web presence/blog/online journal where each member could share their trip reports/travelogues and photos:
3a. - would you use such a feature, yourself?
3b. - would you read other user's sites/posts?
Sure. I am always looking for new places and new sites.
4.) If you answered "No" to either #3a. or #3b., why might you not use such a feature? Explain.
n/a
5.) Does the type of feature explained in #3 (a WildTexas.com-hosted web presence/blog/online journal where each member can share their trip reports/travelogues/photos) have a dollar value to you, or is it something you'd expect would be free of charge?
If you think it has a dollar value under special circumstances, such as for a guaranteed amount of disk space (for photos, etc.) or other additional features/options, let us know as well.
It would need to be free, but could be supported by advertisers. Nature tourism is big business.
6.) Do you have any questions you need answered before you can answer this survey? If so, contact me before responding and I'll do my best to clarify.
Thanks, All!
