Hello everyone! Second Life Traveler Guide has just opened for business today!

This has been a long time project of mine, that I have finally gotten around to getting up. Please let me know what you think! I will be adding a new location at least one to two times a week.

Suggestions are welcome! As well as suggestions on where to review!

You should put "Don't Panic" in large friendly letters on the cover :)

It looks good. Instead of writing the details below the pictures, why don't you have it highlighted as something you could "click" for more details in the picture (like your first picture), if that made any sense. That way you can add more content. Have you approached similar sims to see if they would be interested in advertising in your magazine.Hey, maybe if you solicit vacation sims like Laguna, and tell them your putting together a top 20 places to tour (outside of the rigged popular places we have currently) they may throw a couple of L$ your way. What business would'nt want to be on a list of some sort(unless it's someone shit list).

Thanks everyone! And thanks for the advice Jamil. I have some ideas in the future to allow advertising via small banners. But honestly I would like to compile a top XX list that is genuine and not payed for. I do affiliate advertising, so I know the whole list game. :) But its not so much about money yet, i'd rather have traffic first.

This blog is way in its beginning stages... so i'm expecting myself to redo it about a hundred times.

A suggestion, you should consider adding links to other sectoins in "Gallery", so the user can easily surf other sections, like as: http://zhaoke.com/photos/

Second Life Traveler Guide = Good Work Mate!

This is a good site. A good idea well realised, though I am sure it is early days and things will change a lot. I have been thinking of regional guides in world to encourage people to move around in a Region rather than beaming in and beaming out again. Encouraging people to get out and walk...
Anyway, if u ever need reports from roving reporters to add to the lists give me an IM!

Good work, hope you stick with it.
Best wishes,
Mr. May
