Ok, I'll go...my blog/site, as in my sig, is
wasatchwill.net. For some reason, somebody had already thought up the same name and registered the .com domain at the time. Whatever. That .com domain never went anywhere though and eventually expired so I've since snagged it up as well and have it redirecting to the original. One of these days I may opt to switch it all around.
Anyway, moving on...
The inspiration for it actually came largely through BCP here. In fact, BCP is where my online handle of "
WasatchWill" was born. A number of years ago now, when I first stumbled upon and discovered BCP, I was inspired by several trip reports and their accompanying photos. I then became active with posting some reports and photos of my own. Noting that some members had their own blogs they were running on the side and/or cross-posting from, it got me thinking about setting up my own blog, mostly as a way to document and share my trips more directly with family and friends, my other social networks, and so on.
I started tinkering with one and then later applied my handle from here on BCP to it. Later on, I designed a graphic for its header, applied a customizable template, freshened up on a bit of basic HTML and javascript (I had taken some basic courses on it back in high school and college), and it has now grown into what it currently is, which still isn't much, but it continues to evolve and grow. I plan to fill it in with some backcountry basics, tips, and tricks I've learned from others in addition to some I've developed myself and other resourceful information. Perhaps when I'm ready and willing to invest in a DSLR package to grow my photographic abilities, I'll also try to append some dedicated photo galleries.
In the mean time, I now cross-post most of my reports here on BCP from there and have since applied my handle to my Twitter and Instagram account and so forth. Over the same course of time, I also started up a YouTube channel where I post trip videos and some other content, often to supplement my trip reports and other blog content.
In the end though, I'll never forget my roots here at BCP and plan to remain active here as long as it exists the way it does. I love the community here, the helpful insight and information from the members, and the reputation it has for respectful and civil dialogue. And of course, there is what I think is the bread and butter for this forum, the convergence of so many amazing trip reports full of great eye candy and great stories.
Keep it up
@Nick! You've done a terrific job with this forum.
