Would have said embedded, but this morning I read chongsss's 12-part report on Sri Lanka hosted on Wordpress and thought it very well organized and was able to bookmark his blog to revisit for the other TRs he wrote before joining FT. So, there are advantages to both methods. Count me as a waffler.

Embeded by far. I find links to one report ok, but when a person splits reports over several links, it is more cumbersome.

Also what irks me is when a person starts a new thread as a prelude to a report. The forum is called 'Trip Reports' and not future trip reports. I would rather a person posts a completed report.

This pretty much sums it up for me as well. Though I much prefer embedded, especially because FlyerTalk's format is much easier to read than most that found on most blogs, mainly I'm looking for a well written and nicely detailed trip report.

If anybody's keeping count, embedded reports lead blogs by about 25 to 1/2 (waffling)...

Embedded.

And to reflect on roadwarriorafrica's comment: I prefer instead of posting multiple threads for several trip reports, make one thread and reserve the first couple posts for future use.
