Magazine UpdatesGreetings readers!

I don’t usually make a post on the weekends but in light of some recent updates to Brave New Traveler, I felt a quick rundown was due.

Here’s an overview of the latest updates:

Left Hand Menu – I felt the overall amount of categories were getting out of control, so I decided to group each of the posts into 10 main topics, which you now see on the left.

Brand New Category – Sometimes it can get a little heavy here at Brave New Traveler. That’s why I felt the addition of another category “Life” could feature travel articles of a lighter nature. Look for the first post this week!

Columnists – Now you can read your favourite author’s previous posts with ease! On the left I’ve added direct links to our main columnists, which lists all the posts by that author.

Recommended Travel Blogs – There’s so much great content on the web, but it can be pretty hard to find it. That’s why I’ve created a dedicated section to highlight other great blogs and magazines.

Printer Friendly – Each post now has a tiny little printer icon below the title. Click that for a printer friendly version you can take with you! (Bonus points if you use recycled paper).

RSS feed – If some of you have been wondering what the heck that giant orange icon is on the top right, it’s the widely accepted symbol for RSS (Really Simple Syndication). It’s basically a way to subscribe to Brave New Traveler through your own feed reader. Still in the dark? Here’s a handy guide to RSS.

Well, that’s it for this edition of updates.

Thanks for being avid readers of Brave New Traveler! And as always if you have any suggestions, news tips, or want to write a guest post, feel free to drop us a line.

    Hi Ian, you’ve made some nice improvements! I really like the new categories. Although I am interested in the “heavier” articles on BNT, I’m looking forward to reading the “life” articles. I think they will add some balance to your site.
