What Is A Blog?
December 27, 2008
In it’s simplest terms, a blog is a web journal. The term ‘blog’ actually comes from the combination of two words: web and log. Think of it as a diary that can be either private, or open to the world. A blog usually runs in reverse-chronological order, is updated with news, photos, video, links, and journal entries about any number of given subjects, and often-times allows the reader to engage with the blog writer by leaving feedback through comments. Understand?

December 15, 2008
Adventure Bay Media has added another new blog to the Adventure Bay Media team. Headkickmania brings the pulse-pounding, head-kicking excitement of MMA/kickboxing action. I know most of you don’t live under a rock–or even if you do, you have probably heard the millipedes talking about the UFC. Mixed Martial Arts fighting has become the rage of the combat world. Two fighters, one cage, almost anything goes.
Current Discussion: Why Do We Blog Adventure?
December 11, 2008
This is an interesting topic that should spark many of us to think. Each of us have our own personal reasons for blogging.

Alfresco Bum Joins Adventure Bay Media
December 2, 2008
Adventure Bay Media is excited to announce the launch of the Alfresco Bum blog. Here is some of what we can look forward to seeing at the Alfresco Bum blog:
Why Alfresco Bum? Well, over the years I have thrown around many different classifications pertaining to various forms of recreation. Ski bum. Climber. Paddler. Surfer. Backpacker. Guy who lives in his truck. But truth be told, I have never purely been any one of these. Of course I am a skier when I’m skiing, and a backpacker while I am out on trail, but very rarely have I ever given all of my time to one discipline. I am what you might say, a collector of hobbies. I do consider myself to be very proficient in many arenas, mostly because I have shared time with many activities. What these activities do have in common, though, is the outside world. I prefer to be out rather than in. I am a fresh-air junkie, or, an Alfresco Bum.
