Vagabonding

Vagabonding "chronicles the solo, one year, round-the-world journey of Mike Pugh, an optimist from Chicago, USA" I selected Vagabonding as a Movable Type site because of Mike Pugh's mastery of the system. He knows how to use the tool and make a beautiful, engaging and easily-navigable site. It's a great site that MT's capabilities. But beyond that endorsement, it's just a fantastic site, period. You can read his photo and travel ephemera-illustrated travelogue entries, watch edited video of the sights he visits and people he meets (View an intro about the trip), track his route, view his photos, and even sponsor his trip (and get a physical something in return). Pugh even provides a press kit and possible story angles for those looking to write a story about what he's doing. After seeing Vagabonding, I know that if I ever have the opportunity to travel the world, I need a site like this. Knowing me however, I'd wait until the night before the trip to even begin working on the thing. At least someone has the motivation to do it right. It's truly a testament to personal publishing.
