Updated - 20th November 2008 - we need more recommendations - especially of bloggers actively travelling at this time! - so please click that recommend button - and help keep travelblog's front page inclusive, interesting and fresh everyday!
---
As ever - we're on the look out for great blogs to feature on the front page. If you see bloggers that you like; good photos, great prose - then please do two things:
1: Recommend them - log in to your account, view their home page and click recommend.
2: Post a link to their blog here - short links in the form of [blogger=1234] appear on their page for creating quick links - copy and paste.
The front page is formed using by your recommendations but there are a few little things that you need to be aware of;
- Only blog entries with photos appear on the front page - the featured blogs need the photos to drag in visitors.
- If you posted the photos weeks before publishing the blog - the blog will be skipped from the front page. It's due to performance in building the front page - so either add one more photo just before publishing or publish asap.
Thanks!

For well-written, beautifully illustrated and informative travellers' tales, try reading the latest missive from the Grey haired nomads. Reply to this

A bit of a strange recommendation, as this writer probably won't add another diary, and his writing is certainly an acquired taste, but Isaiah makes for a quirky read. He talks about travelling from an almost surreal angle and in places is very, very entertaining.

haha I don't love myself (like travelblog insists!) and my writing style as I feel the peoples entries above me outshine mine. But I would really love to share a touching story that happened to me in The Philippines on a tiny island called Romblon Reply to this

The very first journal I've read when I stumbled upon this travel site belongs to michaelpaddo. And he's still by far my favourite blogger. I find his entries very addictive! He's sort of inspired me to embark on my first solo trip. Reply to this
