Ok so this is my first entry for Expression Engine. For the previous trip I used Movable Type but there are some things about that system that I found a little frustrating, like the lack of a spell check!

So far I have managed to bring my journal entries from the Laos trip over to this new platform, the hard way! There is meant to be an easy way to import journal entries from other software like Movable Type but I could not work out how to do it. So I ended up copying and pasting from my Movable Type Journal to this one! Thankfully it was a short trip so there were only about 30 entries. Still it took quite a few hours to achieve.  Still I managed to do it! 

Now I just have to work out how to finish the basic set up of this thing before changing the link on my main website to direct it to this Journal instead of the old one.

Eventually I hope to set up the whole site on this platform. I am supposed to be able to set up and design the static pages on this site as well. Still it will no doubt take me ages to work out how to do it. Yes I really am that bad at this stuff!

Next to set up is the photo gallery…. there is a module for it so I will tackle that next I think!!!
