   Please use THIS POST to volunteer your travel blog to be reviewed by the community.

   If you would like to volunteer your travel blog to be reviewed, please follow these guidelines:

   • Understand that this may not be best for the faint of heart or thin-skinned - if you don't handle criticism well, even when constructively given, you may want to wait and try incorporating suggestions made to others first before you open yourself up to this microscope;

   <il>You may suggest your site in the comments below, and we will try to get to everyone who volunteers by using our Forum to start the review process;

   • If there are a lot of volunteered travel blogs to review, please understand that if your site feedback or suggested changes are minor (which is good, after all!) it may not be chosen as a Featured Travel Blog Review Post for the blog (but you'll still be getting valuable feedback);

   Thanks,
   Trisha

   Would love some feedback. We are feeling a little like we have hit a brick wall lately. Looking forward to seeing what we can improve. http://theplanetd.com/

   Wow - I can see what I'll be doing for the next few weeks!!

   Gary, Allison, Duncan, JoAnna, and Dave and Deb, thank you all for volunteering - I promise I will get to all of your sites, even if it takes me a couple of weeks to get through them all, and I'll email you when I post something here in the Forum with my thoughts.

   If you can take the time, it's also helpful if you can look over each other's sites, and jot down anything the jumps out at you, good or bad, so that you can offer your opinions as well......community feedback works best when everyone participates!

   I'm in. As you will be able to see...I go from "lots of good stuff" to just photos.
   Thanks for doing this, Trisha.

    Hi JoAnna - good questions!

    Each blog to be reviewed should have it's own (new) thread, titled "Under The Microscope: (blog name)" (sans quotes).....and here is a link to everyone who has volunteered thus far:

    Gary - http://everything-everywhere.com/

    Alison - http://aliadventures7.wordpress.com/

    Duncan - http://www.urbantravelblog.com/

    JoAnna (yours) - http://www.kaleidoscopicwandering.com/

    Dave & Deb - http://theplanetd.com/

    Wendy - http://www.travelsandescapes.blogspot.com/

    Also, a couple that were volunteered via email - and while not technically "travel blogs" these bloggers have expressed a sincere interest in getting feedback from our community:

    Maria Staal - a blog about searching for an ancestor who was declared a Saint - http://www.mariastaal.com/

    David Gregory - a blog about life in the UK, which does include a few travel stories - http://pastymuncher.co.uk/

    While I will be sure to do a review of everyone who has volunteered their blog (and I will try to do them in the order volunteered), ANY FORUM MEMBER may start the review thread for any of the volunteered sites - it isn't required that I start it.....so please feel free to jump in if you'd like to and start offering your opinions....just check to see if someone has already started a thread for that travel blog....a couple have been started already.

    To START a new thread, from the Forum page that lists the threads in this topic, here

    http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/forum/under-the-microscope-travel-blog-reviews
    
    you can either click on the link at the top of the list that says "Topic - add new" OR scroll down a little bit and use the form at the bottom of the list - you do need to be logged in to start or reply to a thread.
