I just wanted to give you an update on our blog TravelBloggers.on.Wordpress.
I’ve been working on the website for a couple of days, it will be finished soon. Our opening day (the day when we are going public) will probably be this Sunday, May 18th (I am just waiting for Elliot to confirm). It would be great if you could spend some time on the blog on Sunday, maybe even post something or comment.
As a new feature, I have set up a slider on our front page.
We will change the photographs every two weeks. All users can send in their pictures and we will choose from them to display 6 in a slideshow (with a link to the photographer’s blog).
I hope that it is ok for you that I will take my pictures and Elliot’s for the slider for the first two weeks (eventually we did all the work).
But I will soon do a post about this Featured Images challenge.
I will confirm the date for opening.
So, I hope to see you on Sunday.

Thanks, I like it too. Unfortunately, this site looks now better than my own blog 😉

That’s the problem…you can’t do everything all at once!

I like the photo idea too. Great thinking.

Yes, I think it’s a good opportunity for travel bloggers to promote their blog, and for us to draw readers and potential followers to our website.

Brilliant Klees. Love it. Just had an idea – do you think a curatorial section or list might be useful? What I mean here is links to other travel blogs, ideas and features to inspire and give the community ideas. A bit like a blog-roll

The Twenty Fourteen theme has a special feature, called Contributor Page. It’s the item Authors in the menu bar. Everyone who is an author and posts on this blog, is automatically added to this blogroll. You’re already on it. Then we have under the menu item About Travel Blogging a section called Introducing outstanding TravelBlogs. There everyone can introduce a TravelBlog that struck you. If all this in not enough, we still can add another blogroll along the road. I just have to finish what we have now until Sunday. Hope you can spend some time on the blog on opening day 🙂

I’m probably having a senior moment but how do we submit our photos to you? I don’t think i noted down your email address anywhere … I’ve got a few of Brazil and Italy that you might like.
