   Hi guys!

   I'm Stewart and I just created my new travel website. I don't want to shamelessly plug a site for profit, I just want to share with people some of my travel experiences from all over the world!

   I am looking for people to submit some of their own articles also, to feature on the website in the future! It would be great if you wanted to help out! I also created a forums where you can display your travel articles etc.

   Feel free to drop by my site I will be constantly updating... the design is still in the early stages!

   Thanks a lot!

   Hi Stewart - welcome!

   I looked at your site - you've made a great start! My only suggestion would be to tone down the colors a bit - they will never look the same on every monitor as they do on yours, which makes it challenging to see what others see, but on mine they are a bit blinding and make it hard to read the print......think less "neon" and better contrast - for content it's always best to stick with dark fonts (the darker the better) on a white or light background. The opposite causes eye strain.

   I'll be happy to let my readers know about your new site and hope it will bring you some content. Good luck with it!

   Hey Stewart,

   I liked your website; very easy to navigate. What are you studying at the University of Reading in England? I just love the UK I'd like to get back there some time soon.

   Your article on Krakow, Poland was very poignant, especially the information on Auschwitz. I'd like to visit Warsaw and Krakow. because I have an affinity for "big" cities and hear that Krakow is supposed to be one of the best. It's a testimony to Poland that they've been able to develop over the years given the atrocities over the past; never forget, but move forward with life.

   Thanks a lot Trish!
   Appreciate the advice and I reckon the colours are a bit too bright. Ill experiment with a more subtle scheme and see how that goes

   Hey Rebecca! I'm in my final year now actually, studying English lit and Italian Lit, great stuff! I just got back from my year studying abroad in Bologna which was one of the best things I've ever done! Whereabouts are you from?

   Oh yeah, I would definitely recommend Krakow! It's got something quite magical about it that's hard to describe. I worked out there at a hostel for a little bit actually. Was great because I hope to set up my own hostel in the future... see how that one turns out seeing as I'm not exactly business minded hehe

   I'm in the process of writing my dissertation which is on Primo Levi and holocaust literature. Don't know whether you have read any of his works but they are a powerful read. Reading the text doesn't compare to actually seeing the camp though, quite an experience!

   Hey Stewart,

   Literature is one of my favorite subjects; I never studied Italian Literature. I look forward to reading works by Primo Levi, especially his poetry. I enjoy reading and writing poetry. One of my poems was published in the Ohio Writer in 2006 which was very cool.

   Hi Stewart, I just had a look at your travel website and it looks very nice. Love that you included Salzburg, it's one of my favorite cities too. It's actually number 2 in my personal top 5 of cities (http://www.isabellestravelguide.com/top-5-cities.html)
   Look forward to reading more on your site as it grows!
   Good luck,

   Hi Isabelle,

   Nice website! I'd like to visit Lisbon, Portgual; it's on my top 10 list of places to visit along with Queenstown, New Zealand, Madrid and Barcelona, Spain, Salzburg, Austria, Brussels, Belgium, and a few other countries. I researched and presented Belgium for my International Management class when I was finishing up my MSM in 2007. It's a powerful country, although many people don't realize it.
