If a template or plugin is written correctly there should not usually be problems with an update, but there certainly can be. If you are modifying the base pages instead of making a template it will definitely break.

I like your site and would like to offer a couple of things:
1) exchange links (my blog is TravelPro55.blogspot.com)
2) I'd be pleased to join your show to talk about my recent trip to Venice, Lake Como, Zurich and Salzburg, and/or my upcoming trip to Amsterdam.

Let me know!

Thanks for the opportunity to do a guest post regarding Bali in your website.

FYI, I'm a pure Balinese, born and bred in Bali. I was also crowned Miss Bali 2003 and Miss Indonesia Tourism 2004.

I just wanted to invite you to a little meetup I'm organizing at noon in Wicker Park Sat., July 25.

We'll eat some delicious food, soak up the rays and listen to the bands for some general chilling out before the conference.

Please RSVP on Facebook

Maybe you'll consider being the interviewee? Would be great to do a phoner with you on our travel talk radio show. If curious, email Dan at thetripchicks@mindspring.com for details. Thanks and all the best for this new year.
