foXnoMad

Yesterday marked the昨天，标志着 2 year anniversary 2年周年 of this site so I thought I’d take you down memory lane for the day.本网站，以便我想你回想的一天。 Most of you are new readers who jumped on along the way and visit foxnomad for tips on traveling smarter - but didn’t start out that way.大部分你是新读者谁跳上前进的道路，并参观foxnomad的秘诀旅行聪明-但没有开始时这样。

In The Beginning 一开始

About this time in 2006 my group of friends began to move out across the world.大约在这个时候我在2006年和一群朋友开始走出世界各地。 We wanted a good way to keep in touch and came to the conclusion that a collective blog would be a good way to hear about each others adventures.我们要很好地保持联系，并得出结论认为，一个集体博客将是一个很好的途径听到彼此的冒险。 This blog started out as aop1980.com and had several authors.此博客开始作为aop1980.com和有几个作者。

All Over The Place 各地

Initially, the 6 authors (including myself) wrote on a regular basis about anything and everything.起初， 6作者（包括我自己在内）写道定期任何事情，一切。 My first post ever was about my我国有史以来的第一篇文章是我的 mandatory military service兵役 . 。 Other posts ranged from其他职位从 Michael Jackson迈克尔杰克逊 to至 dirty French words肮脏的法国字 . 。 There was no real focus and eventually the authors began to lose their enthusiasm for writing and I was the only one left.有没有真正的重点和最终的作者逐渐失去了写作的热情，我是唯一一个离开。

Picking A Topic 挑选主题

Being the only one left, I decided to find a focus.作为唯一一个离开，我决定找到一个重点。 I asked myself these questions:我问自己这些问题：

• What do I love writing about?什么我爱写什么？
• What am I passionate about?我是什么激情？
• What’s the one thing I would do if I were a multimillionaire?什么是有一件事我想如果我是一个千万富翁？

I came to one conclusion - traveling . 我来到一个结论-旅行。 I wanted a new name to reflect the new direction I wanted the site to take, so I changed from aop1980 to foxnomad.com.我想一个新名称，以反映新的方向我想现场采取，所以我从aop1980以foxnomad.com 。 I had a new name, drive, and subject to write about yet still had a lot to learn.我有一个新名称，驱动器，但须写但仍然有很多需要学习的地方。

Repeating The Big Boys 重复的大男孩

Much of the early content from the change over to foxnomad was regurgitating new stories and other blog posts from large publications and online magazines. I tried to emulate their style by summarizing stories and posting very frequently, 4 or 5 times a day.大部分的内容从早期的变化给foxnomad是regurgitating新的故事和其他博客文章，从大型出版物和在线杂志。 我想效仿他们的风格总结和张贴的故事非常频繁， 4或5倍一天。 You’ll notice my monthly post count was around 100 at that time . It wasn’t efficient but worst of all it was time consuming and poor quality . 您会发现我的每月文章计数约为100那个时候 。 这是效率不高，但最糟糕的是耗时和质量较差 。

Keeping My Blogging Passion Alive 让我的博客热情活着

I’ve我已经 written about it before写之前 but the major transition in my writing happened in the fall of 2007.但主要的转型我的写作发生在2007年秋季。

It [frequent posts and summarizing] also made it difficult for my family and friends to know when I??d be busy and became difficult to make plans with them.它[频繁的职位和总结]也发了言难以我的家人和朋友知道什么时候我？ ？ d为繁忙，并成为难以作出计划与他们。 My wife convinced me to set aside a few hours on set days of the week (about 3) to write and take the rest off.我的妻子我深信搁置了几个小时就设置星期（约3 ）撰写，并采取其他赶走。 Doing this forced my writing to be better [since I had to come up with original content].这样强迫我的写作得到更好的[因为我拿出原始内容] 。

This shift opened me to a new audience and let me connect with fellow travelers and bloggers like这种转变我打开一个新的观众，让我连接同路人和博客一样 James詹姆斯 , ， Darren达仁 , ， Erica埃里卡 , ， Susan苏珊 , and ，并 so因此 many许多 more更多 . 。

Looking Forward: Goals 展望未来：目标

There are several things I’d like to continue doing and would like to improve upon in the next year.有几件事我想继续这样做，并希望改善在明年。

• Have more有更多的 contests竞赛 and make them easier to understand and enter并使其更容易理解，并输入
