One other thing that turns me off is great slabs of text. Add a picture and break down the paragraphs. It's true that as readers we skim and if all I see is a great slab of text then its adios amigo.

Thanks for all the great info. My husband and I are entering month 2 of blogging about our adventures on the road. We've found we can stay a bit more sane, if we relax and focus on producing materiel our friends and family enjoy. It's a delicate blend of facts and candor. There are some really great travel blogs to be discovered. It's nice to know that so many of us have hit the road. Take care Jill Agreed. Thanks for all the great info.

Interesting suggestion.....I'll have to think about how I can incorporate *small* photo albums into posts. I've been experimenting with creating little ones of my best photos for a city or region using http://sosauce.com It wouldn't take much to embed a slideshow or add a link. “It’s nice when there are thumbnails in the posts, or a single photo up top, and then, after reading, I can click through to an album.”

I have to make the posts interesting and try to incorporate my own travel experiences but also make the readers want to book a trip with my company to that location. Also, I am not a travel agent and have so much to learn about the travel business - this is really a learning process. Thanks for the tips!!
