Need Help with new website

Just got back from a 5 month stint in Mediterranean. My friend and I
have create a travel journal website with built in photo album and
stuff. Mostly, this site will be used to keep track of friends that
are currently traveling.

Would love some input from those who have use sites like these before.
Location of the site is : http://www.myTravelRecord.com

Completely Free and very new. Also if there's some features you'd like
to see, that would be great (can't guarantee I'll be able to put it
in).

Our main goal for the site is to have travelers submit news from their
travels , not really sure how realistic this is.

Anyways, if you don't have time to review the site, then just come by
and look at some pictures from Turkey @

Hey Ken your up against some pretty good competition...

proposed... the site already has more than 5000 people from all over the
world who keep in touch, share stories, tips,pics etc.. It is a huge project
and one that is going very well.
Save yourself alot of hard work and join this site... it's worth it.

Just because there is one site already on the internet doesn't mean that
there isn't room for more. Don't let other people discourage you from doing
what you want to do. There are always people who want to pee on your
cornflakes.

Now, about your site.

I would like to see an Index as soon as you get there with links to WHO. You
know, something like this.....

Our Travelers' Pages

Mary Jones Goes to her page
Tom Smith
Joe Blow
U. Gno Who
etc.

That way, you can find what you are looking for quickly, if keeping in touch
with specific people is your goal.

Also, please limit use of "bells and whistles" like Java, Flash, etc., which
are exceedingly annoying on slow machines or slow internet connections.
Java scrolls are very distracting when you are trying to read something on a
site. Better just to have a manual scroll window.

Whenever possible use thumbnails rather than making pages graphic
intensive - again for the benefit of slow machines and slow connections.

Otherwise, you site has a nice professional look and should do well.
Remember publicity and marketing online is everything. You must dedicate a
lot of time to doing this to make it successful.

Good luck

Has nothing to do with peeing in his cornflakes, if he wants a site by all
means make one. However; there is already a site that he can utilize
without going through all the trouble of making one himself.. he did say he
wanted input from someone who uses sites like these.

Would love some input from those who have use sites like these before.

This site is good if he wants to use it and link to his own site that is
allowed there..
the site will also give him ideas.
