Hi everyone. Is it possible to tag more than one country for a single blog entry? For example, if I were to make one entry for a Caribbean cruise, even though I visited several nations.
Bonus question: Is there any mark a country that doesn't show up on the official Travellerspoint list? For example, I visited the breakaway Republic of Karabakh between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Thanks!

In the current implementation, sadly no to both questions, though I suspect they'll be considered feature requests for future improvement by Peter once he sees this thread, so in a few months... who knows?

Your best bet is to split the cruise across several entries, one for each country you visited.
By the way, while it's true you can only mark the entry as being about one country, you can add as many tags as you want to could include the country name in those.

I'm a little slow so it took me awhile to figure out what you meant. Do you mean the part of the template at the end which asks you what country you are in?
I do my blog as separate days. So the main country that I visited that day is what is tagged. A recent trip, I flew from Maryland (US) to Heathrow to Paris, and that part was tagged US. Then I was in France for 10 days and each day was tagged France. Took a train to Spain and that was tagged Spain. Flying home, went through Heathrow again and tagged that UK (although I really didn't set foot in England but I figured the tagging is mostly for me so who really cares. I'm not writing a term paper.
If you don't want a country to be on your map, just don't add it as a separate entity. So don't put a city in between Armenia and Azerbaijan. You can write about it in the blog but that's not why it appears on your map.

Hi everyone! Thanks for your responses. I figured that was the case, but thought I would ask anyway. Most of my new entries are one for each day, as Great Grandma does. However, in the early days of the internet, I had a personal web page that I used to record my travels. Those old entries I am re-posting onto my Travellerspoint blog. Thus, the first question. Also, for those "postage stamp" countries like the Vatican City and San Marino, which you typically visit as part of a trip to another country.
I can live with it, though. It just means my "country list" on the sidebar is incomplete...!

Yeah it's a fair point. Might revisit this issue when I've finished off home page work. There will be some adjustments made in the blogging area anyway and that would be a good, fairly simple improvement.

If a country is included in your trip on the map, it should show up as visited even if you don't have a blog entry specifically for that country. I added all the trips I'd ever made to my map soon after joining TP and those countries appear in my stats even though I've never got around to writing blog entries about them - yet!
