The day we've been anxiously awaiting for well over a year and a half is finally here! While you read this, we are in the car driving to Maine! I plan on doing some mobile blogging while we travel, so today I thought I'd share some tools to make blogging on-the-go a little easier!
I am going to be away from home for almost all of the month of July. We actually left yesterday morning (June 30th), and we plan on getting home on or around July 23rd. We are driving cross country from Arizona to Maine, spending two weeks in Maine, and then driving home. I wanted to keep my blog active while being away, though, so I've scheduled some guest posts, some of my own posts, and I hope to be doing some blogging from the road!
When blogging on-the-go, you essentially need to be able to do three things: take and edit photos, upload the photos to your blog, and write and publish your post. Here are the tools I use to do those three things:
Taking and editing photos: Camera +
The Camera Plus photography app has probably the best selection of editing options for mobile photos. Without an internet connection for your computer, you'll need a great photo editor you can use on your phone. You can use it to edit photos you've already taken with your default phone camera, or you can just use the app as your primary camera. Bonus- it has a self timer option!
Once you've taken your photos and edited them to your liking, then it's time to upload them to your site!
Uploading photos: BlogPhotoUp- Photo Uploader for WordPress
The BlogPhotoUp app allows you to upload photos from your phone, directly into your WordPress media library. This can be a lifesaver! You can quickly upload photos that don't need editing, or take a moment to edit them with Camera + and then upload them.
The BlogPhotoUp app is clean and simple, with only the essential options. You can set the size at which you want your photos to be uploaded, and you can rename your photos before uploading.
So use the Camera + app to take your photos and edit them, and then use the BlogPhotoUp app to upload them into WordPress. Then you need to be able to write your blog posts!
Writing and publishing blog posts: WordPress via Chrome app
Now that I have taken photos, edited them, and uploaded them to WordPress, it's time to write and publish my post! And that also means it's time to move from my iPhone to my iPad. Yes you can write and publish blog posts on a phone, but if you have a larger tablet, your eyes and fingers and patience will thank you for using it!
I tried out a few different apps for WordPress, and came to the ultimate conclusion that the best way to write and publish my posts on the go is by just using the regular WordPress website in a browser app (Chrome is my favorite). There was no app that did everything I wanted to be able to do, and honestly I got frustrated trying to make it all work.
So I would use Chrome on my iPad mini to access my WordPress dashboard, and then I would write my posts in there. When it comes time to insert photos, they should already be in my media library, from using the BlogPhotoUp app! Hit publish, and then you're ready to go do some more sightseeing!
Ultimately, I enjoy blogging on my laptop, from the comfort of my own home. But if you are going to be gone for an extended period of time and would like to blog while you're away, especially about the things you are doing, then these are the apps I think you will find very useful!
Did I miss any? What are your favorite blogging apps?

House Democrats introduced the Save the Internet Act, a bill that would repeal the FCC vote from late 2017 that did away with net neutrality laws, officially restarting the fight for a free internet. The bill was teased on Tuesday and announced Wednesday morning.
As many have admitted throughout the battle for net neutrality, the topic is a bit on the confusing side. If you're curious about what this important tech topic has to do with your life and how this act will change things, check out our guide below.
What Is the Save the Internet Act?
Unlike most of the discussion regarding net neutrality, the Save the Internet Act is surprisingly not that complicated at all. In fact, it's being touted for its simplicity and, most uniquely, it's brevity.
"This is a two page bill. A two page bill! It has all the clarity in the world," said Anna Eshoo (D-CA).
Yes, it's seriously only two pages, because it doesn't have to say much. The bill simply states that the admittedly rushed FCC vote in late 2017 should not take affect and that net neutrality laws should remain as they were before said vote took place.
That's it. The bill is so short that one representative was able to fit its entire contents into a tweet.
Here's the Save The Internet Act of 2019 that nearly every Senate Democrat joined me in introducing today. 3 pages that will restore #NetNeutrality. Let's pass it and make the internet free and open again. #SaveTheNet pic.twitter.com/BCYtcmcMe3
— Ed Markey (@SenMarkey) March 6, 2019
What Is Net Neutrality?
With a complicated topic like net neutrality, it never hurts to have a simple explanation of exactly what you're talking about. In simple terms, net neutrality refers to a set of regulations and restrictions that prevent internet service providers (ISPs), like Comcast and AT&T, from having too much unregulated control over your internet connection.
Why would ISPs want unregulated control over your internet connection? Because they can change how the internet functions. In this case, it could mean installing paid fast lanes and slowing down whatever content they so choose. It would give unfair advantages and unchecked power to those with the means to pay for faster internet connections, which is why tech companies and startup communities alike have adamantly opposed the repeal of net neutrality.
Net neutrality laws expressly prohibit this kind of tampering, and repealing them in 2017 gave ISPs free rein to do whatever they want.
A Brief History of Net Neutrality
The battle for net neutrality has been a rollercoaster ride of important legislation and dramatic votes. In 2015, after a long, arduous fight to keep the internet free, former president Barack Obama enacted some of the strictest net neutrality laws to date, establishing the internet as a telecommunication service, keeping ISPs from having too much power over how it is monetized.
However, in 2017, the president and the FCC made quick work of those rules, swiftly overturning and repealing those laws in a 3-2 vote on party lines. While it does require that internet service providers divulge their actions in regards to paid fast lanes and blocked content, that's far from a significant deterrent in the long run.
Now, in 2019, the Save the Internet Act represents the Democrats' first attempt at undoing that vote. While it's certainly a step in the right direction, the odds of getting it past a Republican-controlled Senate and a president that has to be itching to use his first veto is unlikely, which means the battle for net neutrality is going to rage on for a while.


text: This is the question of which might have crossed your mind at Some of the other moments in time. Well, nothing wrong with it as elevators are a serious piece of machinery which; It requires its fair share of respect and adulation. In order to understand how the elevators or lifts actually work, We must first understand how many types of elevators are there actually. Well broadly and commonly speaking an elevator is classified on the Basis of the propulsion system or the powering mechanism used for its operation. There are four types of mechanism used for Powering an elevator or a lift and this also forms the basis of their nomenclature: Traction Elevators: Traction elevators are of two types geared and gearless. Geared traction elevators are used with an electric motor. These motors can either be AC or DC type. They use worm gears for mechanical control, They control the elevator movement by using a steel rope over a drive shaft connected to a gearbox This gearbox is eventually connected to the high-speed motor. AC motors were widely in use owing to their low cost and economic feasibility. These motors serve the purpose perfectly where the low-speed application is desired. However, as the height of buildings increased there was a need for faster elevators as Having a low-speed option was no longer viable. Hence, the practice of using DC motors For driving the elevators came in to picture. These motors were typically powered by a stand-alone device called an MG set or a Motor generator set which can operate in both AC and DC mode. It also powered other systems of the elevator hence separating the Power supply to the elevator from that of the building. This also meant that there would be no power spikes in the building Due to the operation of the elevator.

The end of communist regimes in Eastern Europe and the USSR produced strikingly little enthusiasm in the United States. The political energy absorbed for forty years by American-Soviet relations left America no triumphant, but reflective, turning inward with a general sense of national decline. American politics and policy have met the rapid changes in the new global order with alarming slowness and inflexibility.
In this book, fourteen leading political scientists ask two basic questions. What effect did the cold war have on American institutions and politics? And how will American politics evolve now? The first section of the volume focuses on institutions-the presidency, Congress, federalism. The second explores politics-ideologies, public opinion, and the American party system. The third section tackles important policy areas: the budget, social issues, education, foreign policy, trade, and immigration.

To mark Elizabeth Bishop's 104th birthday, which was yesterday, the Elizabeth Bishop Society of Nova Scotia is making an exciting announcement. In fact, this will be the first in a series of regular announcements about The Elizabeth Bishop Festival to take place on 8 August 2015 in Great Village, Nova Scotia.
We commence with the exciting news that renowned soprano Suzie LeBlanc (http://suzieleblanc.com/site/) will present the festival's evening concert. Suzie is the Honorary Patron of the Elizabeth Bishop Society of Nova Scotia and recently received the Order of Canada. Her CD "I am in need of music" (http://www.musiccentre.ca/node/77772), settings of Elizabeth Bishop poems by four Canadian composers (Emily Doolittle, Christos Hatzis, Alasdair MacLean and John Plant) won an East Coast Music Award and was a finalist in the Lieutenant-Governor's Masterworks Arts Award, both in 2014.
The 45th parallel north crosses Nova Scotia, New-Brunswick, New York, Maine, New Hampshire, as well as France and Italy. It crosses many other places in Asia and Europe, but we will focus on places that have a connection to the French Acadian settlers of the Cobequid region in the 17th and 18th centuries. The 45th parallel can also be connected to Elizabeth Bishop, who had a profound interest in geography, maps and places, and who lived in areas crossed by this latitude.
The performers :
Suzie LeBlanc, soprano
David Greenberg, violin
Nick Halley, percussion and keyboard
Kiya Tabassian, setar and percussion
Though not the first time Suzie has performed in Great Village, it is an honour that she will bring to "Wille Les Cadets" (as Great Village was known to the Acadians) her ancestral music, mixed with music from across the 45th Parallel.
The Acadians in Great Village
"The French were said to have prosperous settlements at Masstown, Chignoise, Debert, Great Village and Little Dyke, also a small village of six or seven families up the Folleigh River, three and one-half miles from Glenholme. These villages comprised the territory the Indians named Cobequid, "End of Flowing Water"; there were mills at Chignoise (now Belmont), one at Great Village, and another at Debert. About two hundred and fifty families were residing in Cobequid at the time of the expulsion in 1755." (History of Great Village, Women's Institute, 1960, page 17).
The History of Great Village also notes that the Acadian families in Cobequid were deported on 5 September 1755, part of one of the darkest chapters in the history of Nova Scotia. In 1948, in Great Village, part of an original Acadian dyke was uncovered on the share of "Farr Marsh."
As a child, Elizabeth Bishop was told of the presence of Acadians in Great Village and read Longfellow's famous epic poem Evangeline. Though not of the same scope or sorrow, Bishop often referred to herself as an exile, and told Alexandra Johnson that the poet carries "home" with her, as many of the Acadians did as they spread across the globe. Some returned to Acadie (Nova Scotia) and we are delighted that Suzie will return to Great Village and bring such an exceptional trio of musicians with her.
**********As mentioned above, this is the first of a series of posts about The EB Festival. We will be profiling many of the artists who will be participating and describing some of the many activities that will happen that day. We will be setting up a Festival Facebook page and a Twitter account. There is lots to come. Stay tuned! You will want to be "In the Village" on 8 August 2015!

Days out in Javea
There are many things to do in Javea from water sports, tennis and golf to fine dining. Here we list some activities that you can enjoy day by day during a week in Javea.
Monday in Javea
Start the week exploring. There are numerous walks in Javea, from gentle strolls to more strenuous climbs. To take in the sea air there is a nice flat walk from the Arenal to the Port, watching the boats out at sea and imaging what life would be like living in one of the frontline apartments or houses.
An area that is not usually on the tourist map, again a nice flat walk are the orange groves, which are fantastic in March and April when the blossom is in full bloom and the smell is intoxicating.
Some more stiffer walks are exploring the Miradors of Javea, these are viewing points around Javea that afford spectacular views.
And for the real adventurers you can walk the famous mountain, there are several routes that can be taken to walk the Montgo, the main start point can be found on the round from the Old Town to Denia. It takes around 3 hours to walk up and down.
Tuesday in Javea
After a day exploring on Monday let's make Tuesday a relaxing day, a morning by the pool or on the beach reading a book or catching up on Social Media. Then a lunch at one of the 250 local restaurants (according to Tripadvisor). With so many restaurants which one do you choose? There are restaurants ranging from fast food to fine dining. Lunchtime is for Paella, the Spanish only eat paella at lunchtime, as it is quite a large meal that needs time to digest. It´s a bit like having a roast dinner night time – Very few British would do this.
Where to go for Paella? Many restaurants offer Paella and it´s best to order in advance although it is not always necessary. Firstly you need to decide on the Old Town, Port or the Arenal. If you are looking for something traditional then probably the old town will offer you a true Valencian Paella. If you want a peaceful lunch over looking the sea than port or if it´s a family meal probably the Arenal is best.
Wednesday in Javea
Let's get on the waves or under them, the beautiful Mediterranean sea. Javea offers a vast array of water sports. Sailing, windsurfing, paddle boarding, kayaking, jet skiing, scuba diving and snorkelling among a few.
There are also boat trips, or fishing excursions that can be enjoyed. A great inexpensive day out is on the ferry that leaves Javea Port and travels around the Cuesta de San Antonio to the nearby town of Denia you can catch the ferry at 11am and return from Denia at 4pm, giving you time to explore Denia and have lunch.
Thursday in Javea
Thursday is market day in Javea it is there during the morning in the main square of Javea Old Town and with the underground parking underneath makes it easy to park and visit. It has a selection of market stalls selling everything you can imagine. The fresh fruit and veg stalls offer the very best in seasonal products.
After a stroll around the market you can then take in the atmosphere of the old town, with it's traditional tapas bars, historical church and the recently restored Riu Rau, a stone building with open sides which was used to dry grapes for centuries.
Friday in Javea
Friday marks the end of the week for locals and the Javea Arenal beach area and is the place to visit in the evening, relax by the pool or beach during the day to get ready for a night of entertainment. Start the night with a meal in one of the many restaurants offering a wide selection of food choices from burgers to fine dining. Then move on to one of the swanky bars for cocktails, followed by a night of dancing in the famous Achill night club.
Saturday in Javea
If you made through the Friday night and are still wanting to explore then a visit to the award winning Grandella beach is in order. This small cove has one several awards for one of the best beaches in Spain and you won´t be disappointed by it scenery.
Due to the one entry and exit road and limited parking there is a bus service that takes you to the beach during the very busy summer months of July and August. But in the winter, spring and autumn the beach very quiet and can be enjoyed without the crowds.
Sunday in Javea
Sunday is a family day for the Spanish and is usually spent with the family having a lunchtime meal, either at home or in a restaurant. So, for those who love to enjoy local food and eat out then choose one of the many restaurants to enjoy a long leisurely lunch.
Still looking for more to do?
There are so many more activities to be enjoyed in and around Javea. There is a 9 hole golf course in Javea as well as the 18 hole La Sella golf resort with its spa and gym, 15 minutes drive towards Denia.
The David Ferrer (a Javea native) tennis club offering court rental and tennis lessons, as well as Pinos tennis club in the Balcon Al Mar area of Javea.
The fiesta schedule is immense and during the summer season there is many events from the San Juan Fiestas in June, to the Moors & Christians fiestas held in the port in July. The port also has a fiesta in September where there is a spectacular firework display. Fireworks play a big part in the programmes from displays to Mascaletas which strings of bangers that create a deafening experience.
At the end of July there is the international fiesta which brings together all the nationalities of Javea and has stalls representing each nation, 22 different nationalities take part. This is what makes Javea such a cosmopolitan and diverse place to live and holiday.
