A blog post by Lucy, an American student living Galway, about her day trip to Achill Island has been featured on the WordPress.com home page. Filed as the featured item in ‘posts about Travel’, this little promotion brings Lucy’s fabulous photo-essay – and Achill Island itself – to global attention via the great reach of the WordPress site and associated networks. I hope that Lucy’s blog, brilliantly-named ‘You Say Goodbye and I Say Menlo‘ – gets the attention it deserves from this link by WordPress, and of course that Achill might get a bit of a boost too! Following on from Reb Stevenson’s beautiful photo essay of her trip to Achill (Bad Weather + Deserted Village = Happy Me), it seems the American-Canadian visitors are doing a fine job of promoting Achill and the west of Ireland.
