Travelogue of An Armchair Traveller: Tutorial

Google Earth Community - Fun and Games

Google Earth Community Forum is full of information which ranges from, but not limited to; history, geography, nature, environment, architecture, military, transportation, beliefs, festivals, huge, unique, bizarre items, current happenings etc etc.

My favourite section in the Community is "Fun and Games" - in which members post riddles and puzzles on almost all subjects and generally give hints for searching and locating the relevant places and or events on Google Earth. I have made several hundred posts in this forum and must have solved about the same number, though several were beyond my grasp. Believe me it is not easy to solve these riddles - Finding the answer is 90% perspiration (research) and 10% inspiration but it is pure 100% joy and sense of exhilaration.

This forum provides a stimulus to my brain and keeps it active. I strongly recommend this for those who have time and penchant for solving puzzles, but a word of warning – it is highly addictive.

My travels around the World are not limited to Fun and Games only, however many of the places being covered in this travelogue were found as a result of my researches for making posts in Fun and Games or trying to solve the riddles given therein.

The Original Google Earth Community was frozen by Google in April 2015 and finally killed in April 2019. However the dedicated moderators of the defunct Original GEC created a new Board for the GEC enthusiasts and the new Community is known as "Google Earth Community Forums". This new community continues to function as the old GEC but is independent of google.com

Some of my acquaintances who are not very well conversant with computers have asked me the procedure to write comments. For their benefit as well as for benefit of all novices I am explaining below the methodology which is specifically written for this travelogue but will generally be applicable to all Blogger (or blogspot) blogs. I am not a good teacher and I hope my explanation is understood by all.

Edit Note: The procedure explained below is no longer valid for this blog but can be used in other blogger posts where the Comment field is embedded below the post.

The comments link is given at the end of each post as pictured below. Click on this link to proceed (but please do not click on the image shown below)
