Jody Halsted commented on Robin Noelle's group 'Freelance Travel Writing'
HI Nathan. I began travel blogging in 2004- long before people monetized or CVBs were offering to host bloggers on trips. I began because I had information to share and I believed that families should- and could- travel together, no…

I have my ticket, but June travel is not yet booked. If I make it I would love a family travel meet up!
Jody Halsted commented on Shane Sakata's group 'Business of Travel Blogging'
I was thinking the same thing as Durant... More often than not comments are spam. Doesn't TBEX have the ability to delete and block the spammers? or is that part of the downfall of using a ning site?

I really love StudioPress. They have amazing options, incredible support and it's easy to make the themes your own. The Genesis themes are awesome.

Jody Halsted replied to marta @ ATravelAroundtheworld's discussion 'Make money/Register your blog as a business?' in the group Business of Travel Blogging
I trademarked my site this year. My previous name had been used by other blogs in various ways I hadn't even dreamed of and I saw my page rank and income go down (not to mention being linked to the wrong site in some online interviews!). So I…
Jody Halsted replied to Vicky Baker's discussion 'Deciding on categories. Advice needed' in the group Business of Travel Blogging
My 2 cents:
Have 10 main categories and use tags to cover more narrow topics. Example:
Category: Lodging
Tags: Hotels, Hostels, B&B
And is local travel too vague? Or do you only write about one specific place? If so, you wouldn't need the…

Hi Lisa. I know there are many of us in this group that specialize in traveling with children. Would you mind expanding your statement?
Jody Halsted replied to Renee King's discussion 'Just got an offer to sell a text ad on my website...what do I do now?!' in the group Business of Travel Blogging
I have yet to write a contract for a text ad. As for cost- what is that space worth to you? And how long are you willing to let them rent it? But foremost- is the advertiser relevant to your site? Are they reputable?
I'm not going to list my…

Would love some stumbles on this post - thinking about travelling? "Nine questions to get you going" http://www.beingtazim.com/ninequestions/
Glen Abbott replied to Annie's discussion 'Who is going to TBEX'12 ?' in the group Social Media Connect
Shanna, I think you'll find the networking -- meeting other bloggers -- is pretty cool. And some of the seminars and info, too. I think if you go with limited expectations, you won't be disappointed.
