Darren Rowse's Group Blogging Project

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?

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the input. I will let the powers that be know about your comment :-)

I have sent out requests to a couple of "experts" and the feeback has been great. I just need to take extra time in formulating my questions.

I'll go head out and check your answers to Darren's question.

I do agree about that blue thing, it's easy to think THAT is the header since it overpowers it, since I'm sure you want to establish branding - I didn't realize that this blog was "Road Gladiator" until you mentioned it in the post. Anyway, great post, we did this project as well - http://lilduckduck.com/archive/187 - if you want to look!

>>>be consistent with my spelling of traveler/traveller.

That's so funny because I made a post a little while back about trying to decide whether to use gray/grey once and for all!

I did the geocities eons ago too, has to be like over 8 years ago...only unlike you I walked away for way too long! Glad to be back and blogging. Enjoyed your post.

Eric and MamaDuck, thanks for the thoughtful feedback. Know that we're listening intently - we've got a lot to work on here at Know More Media - and we need more good folks like you to tell us how we can improve.

The big blue survey thingy is just temporary - we've run it now for a week or two and we'll take it off soon - it's just to get a sense of who is visiting us.

Lookin' forward to more feedback for Melissa and the whole gang here.

I would take the double side bar on the right and put one on each side, that is what I do, so I am biased. Your banner/header is great.
