I have had a personal website way before the term blogging was even coined. Back in 1997, I used my geocities account on Tropical Shores to record my travels.
Little did I know that 9 years later, I would still be blogging about travel. However, I have moved on from just personal accounts. Now, I am blogging for 3 big networks (including KMM, of course) about Budget Travel, Culture/Travel and Business Travel. Funny that my wanderlust has brought my personal and business life to where I wanted it to be... traveling regularly.
And to give you a glimpse of what I plan for this Business Travel blog and to get your opinion on what I should do to improve this blog, I am participating in Darren Rowse's Group Blogging Project by writing my thoughts on: If I had to start my blog again, I would...
If I had to start Road Gladiator again, I would...
- be consistent with my spelling of traveler/traveller.
- end my posts with thought-provoking questions which would drive readers to post a comment
- be more opinionated in my reviews
- reach out more to other travel bloggers
- interview more people in the business travel industry
- take advantage of social bookmarking sites more
- be consistent with the number of entries I post (a bit difficult since, most of the time, my time is not mine)
- dig deeper
Now, dear readers, tell me, what should I do to improve Road Gladiator?
One thing I would change is getting rid of that huge Survey blue button thing between your header and your content. But hell, what do I know? First time here, came from Problogger. I am just starting to look into interviewing people in my "industry". How have you fared in that regard?
