The pictures will only display if there's text or narrative right? That means you have to keep writing in order for your photos to appear? Reply to this

Hello Rossana 
Yes, you would need to make a blog with some text in it, in order to upload the photos. But, one line of text is enough.
Sorry about the reply delay. I didnt see this question until now. If you ask questions in the TravelBlog Support Forum, we will see them sooner, because we look in there more often.

On being financially compensated for your blogs, I've now been approached a couple of times about having some of my blogs published. Very flattering. The point being Ali is right in saying that there are people out there watching. Spooky huh.

Right, I'm sure people use this site for various reasons, but those interesting in improving their writing might want to pick the book or a similar one up. Reply to this

Hola Ali
Thanks for your great advices (I´m really sure I need to put into practice many of them! Improve my English is on my To Do List)
...but I think you´re forgetting something really important: "Being nice"
I mean, always there are possibilities that you don´t like the country you´re travelling through but it doesn´t mean that you have the right to write in an insulting way, for example calling a "dirt hole, to put it politely, which is known as Peru" to a country doesn´t seem nice at all.
Of course, I think the blogger in this case doesn´t care about the matter that his blog could be the most widely read on TB but only release his anger of his bad experiences.
Some weeks ago I think I read a forum about "What is the dirtiest country in the world?", people was writing their experiences without saying something like "looking at endless crap in the streets".
Thanks to all for being NICE! Reply to this

I agree enthusiastic with 'Ash' #155254. If someone really finds any place as 'a dirt hole'(to put it politely!!) it's her / his right. But to express it openly, in public, is very far from being polite. I know from my personal experience that there are places where I feel not good, to put it politely, and I'm angry about a dirty room in a hotel or museum. But one shouldn't offend other people especially if she / he don't know who is the responsible person and is rude to anyone in nearness, even to other visitors, customers. It is terrible. I don't remember who has said - nearly so - to be polite is very cheap (you don't have to pay a penny), but is valued very high, as an extremely jewel. I agree with that absolutely. Let's be nice!

Next time I'll write with these polite empty lines. It really helps to write

Ash,
I agree with you. I think people can share honest views about a location and still be nice. From time to time we have all traveled to or visited a location that was not our cup of tea. Our views could have been influenced by many factors, dirt, crime, attitudes or we just didn't like the vibe.
We can use descriptive words to describe what we did not like in a constructive way rather than "bashing" I like what you say-- just be nice. I am not at all suggesting that someone should not write about what they disliked because I think it is important to hear the good as well as the bad but it can be done constructively.
I am looking forward to reading your blogs.
Take care and happy travels.
