[pct-l] Contemplating a change in journal site

[arm chair]

Hi Brian,

I also believe that Postholer is faster and has more features. I have a
smart phone and the speed of postholer is faster also.

I believe that with Postholer you can update your journal by email Directly
while with trailjournals you need a transcriber.

You might also check into using a Podcast site to send reports to everyone
off trail. You could even embed the podcast into your journal. See PinkGumby
at trailjournals, he did video!
