Right now, when people look at your blog page or your profile, they'll see a map of where you've been at the top. But you're right, if they want to check out your photos or drill down into an individual blog post, the stock pictures come back. It would be cool if you could stick one of your own up there.

I guess I never put this feature in because I figured nobody would have access to a photo editor in some remote corner Uganda from which to slice a photo down to 1000x200 pixels and upload it. But now it seems that most folks (yourself included) are doing a bit of preparation to their blog before leaving home.

Anyway, I'll look into it. Have a great time in Africa. Whereabouts are you headed?

Sounds like a great trip. I swung through Zambia a few years back and absolutely loved it. I was only in the country a few days, but it was pretty much the most "Africa" place I saw on the trip.

I Took a 14 hour bus ride from Lusaka to the Malawi border and didn't pass a single big town the whole way. Just jungle, grass, and the occasional little clump of huts in the forest. We stopped once along the way, just by the side of the road since there weren't any towns, for the standard halfway rest break. After a few minutes, the locals started materializing out of the forest with stacks of bananas on their heads, looking to make a few kwatcha.

Like I said, it's the real Africa. Hope you have a great time!
