I just started my own travel blog a few weeks ago and have much to learn. I agree about letting readers subscribe to comments - the comments I get are often more entertaining than my post (ha). And I just started using HootSuite to schedule tweets, is anyone else using it? Seems to work well. .-= Deonne Kahler´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.gonescamping.com/2010/10/29/southern-new-mexico-recap/" rel="nofollow">Southern New Mexico- Recap</a> =-.

Although my blog has been around for a while, I took it over about eight months ago and am still in the building phase.

Echoing above comments, but really enjoying these weekly updates. Christiaan does something similar at his mindthebeginner.wordpress.com site...each week I'm not only picking up new material/contacts through you both, but I'm motivated to look introspectively at my own operations and see how I can better myself. Seriously, keep it up! Sending good vibes from Djibouti!

We are definitely not making a lot of money yet, but it is good to see some movement out there. I will add a subscribe to comments tonight. It is funny, when we first started blogging, we thought "who would want to see our comments" Now it makes complete sense. Learning something new every day:) I also have to figure out how to get that smiley face that everyone has on their blogs. I like it:-) Thanks for the advice.

One thing I'd recommend is adding the 'subscribe to comments' plugin. People sign up and it helps them follow conversations and may help add some repeat traffic.

It's great to learn about what work and what not. I have never heard about Tweetlater and I will check it out. I agree that you will need to post at least a couple times throughout the day because people use Twitter at different time so you want to space them out. Good luck on the 2nd leg for Vantastic Adventure. I will check it out once I get home. :) I love this series. It’s great to learn about what work and what not.
