Welcome to the New Backpacker Buzz Blog

You might notice that things are looking a little different around here. Well, that's because we've just moved. So come on in, get comfortable, but please try not to spill your drink, this carpet is brand new.

The new digs come with a few new features that will make getting the latest info on Hostelling International and travel in general a whole lot easier.

Enhanced RSS

If you were subscribed to the RSS feed on the old blog, you'll have to subscribe again to the new one. Just click the orange RSS icon to the right, near the top of the page. You've got even more options now, too, if you want to customize your feeds. Subscribe only to feeds in a certain category, by a certain author, or with certain tags. Click Browse RSS feeds below the icons to see how to customize your feeds.

Recent Comments

Stay on top of the latest conversations with the Recent Comments list to the right. Real-time updates show you who's saying what. When you leave a comment, you can sign up to get notifications when someone adds a new comment.

Related Content

If you've just finished reading something AMAZING and want to keep reading about similar AMAZING things, use the related content links at the bottom of every post. It's neverending.

Easy Sharing

As always, we give you plenty of ways to spread the information you find useful around the web. Use the Share button at the bottom of every post to email or bookmark the stuff you like, or share it on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and all the rest of them. And this isn't the only place we'll share with you what's going on in HI-Land, follow us on Twitter, join our Facebook group, watch our YouTube videos and add to our Flickr pool using these icons.
