[Garry]

Hello everyone.

The new A-Bike Central Blog is launched today, and available to read here:
http://www.abikecentral.com/blog

It features news and stories from writers around the world including some of the regular members of this forum. Feel free to post your replies to the articles in the blog, and also send me a private message if you are interested in becoming a blog author.

I wrote two articles there.
But the blog becomes Asian(or Korean) Style more and more I write.

I think the blog must have diversity.
So, I propose two guys as writers.
John(UK) and A-bikeweb(FR, Emmanuel)

I leaved messages on the John's Google blog and Emmanuel's Frappr blog.

Korean A-biker, TNT made two puzzle games with A-bike photos.
They are on AbikeCentralBlog now.

I have a record, 20minutes 19seconds on Step 1.
but I don't recommend you to experience Step 2.

I took an offer from Garry to join the A-bike Central Blog, so I'll be writing err... something on A-bike there soon.

Then I'm wondering whether I can write some personal stuff (A-bike related of course) in the A.C.B. as well as reporting interesting A-bike stuff I found on the net, or not.

Personal stuff means like my A-bike trip report and my A-bike modification project report.

These are not quite "news" as A.C.B. says, you see, so I'd like to hear you guys opinion.

Till now, I uploaded 8 articles and I was so lonely during the work time.
I heard the good news; greenbiker and newcross will join. Great !!

In my opinion about the blogging, the quality of articles will make our AbikeCentral popular. CentralBlog is not an internet news but requires general news style. When we see an internet news, we can find some common features : Creativity, Little out-links.

- Every personal writing is good. So newcross's 'A-bike trip report' is very hopeful. The article will show a big creativity.
- But the 'A-bike modification project report.' would have some problems. To make the article into a good information, the report has a necessity of many out-links to the other A-bikers' modifications. Therefore it is more suitable for this forum page.. I think..

Now, I'm preparing 'The world Records of A-bike' and my big problem is to take every permission from each A-biker.

Hi, Binch-shin. You are no longer alone! We (...I mean me & greenbiker) are here!:D

- But the 'A-bike modification project report.' would have some problems. To make the article into a good information, the report has a necessity of many out-links to the other A-bikers' modifications. Therefore it is more suitable for this forum page.. I think..

I get what you mean. Actually when I wrote "my A-bike mod. report", I meant my own mod. project, not others. Sorry it was confusing.

So the plan is that since I'm modifing my A-bike, I will write articles (guide) on assembling, disassembling of A-bike, and how I plan and install new parts to A-bike (perhaps with some product info).

It will be a series of short articles with pictures and illustrations to make sure readers wouldn't make mistakes when they try something with their A-bike. (well, they will be learning from my mistakes...haha )

Now, I'm preparing 'The world Records of A-bike' and my big problem is to take every permission from each A-biker.

The A-bike mod. project I'm working on is aming to be in the world record! (I hope nobody has done what I'm planing....)

[Binch Shin]

Wow.. I see exactly..

Your project will be great !! I am waiting X 3... haha

[newcross]

Now we have three(?) writers for A.C.Blog, then do you think it's a good idea to put some sort of sign there to indicate who from where wrote the entry like some online magazines do?

There are so many sign format to choose from.... for example it canbe just (NX) (GB)(BS) at the end of a article, or <by who> etc.

[Binch Shin]

I imagine a sort of 'name tag' including a link to his AbikeCentral profile page.
I will make them for all of us and introduce soon.
※ 5 writers : Garry, greenbiker, Amuro Lee, you and I
