Looking for feedback and constructive criticism of my travel blog.

    Hello everyone,

    After traveling for over a year around the world and keeping a blog on one of those free travelblog sites it was suggested that I create my own site. I started out knowing little about computers let alone how to create a website.

    It has taken a few years to get to this point. My passions are photography and travel, not computers! I am still very much learning and slowly trying to create more traffic to the site and continue to make small improvements myself and hiring help as I can afford it.

    I would love to have feedback on it. Especially since most of my feedback so far has come from friends and family who are a tad bit bias, lol.

    Much appreciated :)

    Wow, great site.

    Which theme do you use ? Is this custom theme or you have WP theme ?

    thanks

    The theme is a premium wordpress theme called Papercore. Thanks for the feedback so far. I have to go in and fix some of the pictures still. The content was transferred over from a free travelblog site and there are some issues with the photos.

    Hello from the OP again,

    I appreciate all the comments that my site looks great, I would really love to get some in depth feedback on it. Does anyone have any comments on the functionality of the site. Does it seem like it provides enough useful information for travelers. I wanted it to be more than just a blog of our trips. I find it really hard to judge my own writing and the site overall. Fire away with comments and criticism.

    I plan to add a proper photo gallery to the site, the one that is intergrated isn't what I am looking for. I was thinking of using Gallery?

    Any suggestions of other things I can add to make improvements. I am not quite sure what direction to take it at this point. I know I need to do a lot more to generate traffic as well.

    Much appreciated :)

    Nice one,

    Okay for a blog, pretty cool.

    I'll suggest you add Facebook and Twitter Like buttons to get viral traffic.

    Keep it up.
