Publishing on Vagabondo

How to publish your trip reports on Vagabondo!

ARTICOLO DI

Vagabondo0



First of all Vagabondo is a meeting point for travellers, so we are always very glad when
someone decides to dedicate a little time to tell one of his travel experiences!

To publish your travelogues in Fiamma's Cafè you simply need to send them to
Fiamma,

'); document.write('to this address!' + '.'); // -->



To page up a story takes us time and work, so we kindly beg you to follow the here below
instructions.

The Text

  • You may send the text via e-mail in any of the more current formats: Word, Openoffice,
    RTF, TXT etc.
  • Don't send the text in HTML: though it may seem the contrary, this makes things more complicate
    for us, avoid the PDF format as well.
  • Don't loose time for the lay out: colours, peculiar fonts, columns, etc. will get lost
    in processing it with HTML.
  • Do not insert photos in the text..
  • We publish articles both in Italian and English.
  • It'd be nice if at the bottom of your article we could put your e-mail or your Vagbonds-
    Finder username, or your address, so that readers might contact you if they have
    anything to ask. However, to be able to do this you must give us your explicit permission.
    Note: When cited in our articles the e-mails always are endowed of a script defending the
    from spam (Technical explanation at the bottom of the page), the Vagabonds-Finder
    proved strongly effective in defending users privacy.

Photos.

  • If your photos are printed on paper contact us and we will give you our address.
  • If photos are digital, or you are able to scan them, here you find some directions:
  • Images must be sent only in JPG.
  • Don't worry about weight or dimensions: they will be authomatically processed, so if they
    are a little to obig it's even better (the long side minimum 700 pixel, that means
    about 0,5 Megapixel)
  • If you prefere to send them on a CD by ordinary mail contact
    '); document.write('Fiamma' + '.'); // -->
  • It's important NOT to insert the images in the text: simply point out to us where you
    wish them to be put. Write for instance: "(here image "Peter")".

How does Vagabondo protect your e-mail published in the articles from “spam”
(unwanted advertisement)?

There are some programs called "spider" which explore the
web looking for e-mail addresses to which send unwanted advertisement, these spiders
look for strings of text similar to [email protected], or [email protected],
etc.


Vagabondo employs a Javascript which breaks in several pieces the address, so that the spider
can't recognise it, but recomposes it authomatically when it's a browser to read
it; where we'd read [email protected], the spider would find:

<script
language="JavaScript"><!--

var
ma='@';

document.write('<a
href=\"mailto:' + 'something' + ma + 'somethingelse.net' + '\">');

//
-->

</script>
