I just wanted to ask you all for your opinions on something, my blog.
I started it almost a year ago and in the last few months it has started to grow really fast (several months ago it went from a couple of hundred hits one month to a couple of thousand hits the next).
I really want to make sure I run a good site thats informative and fun to read for all my readers. I don't know if any of you CTer's are regular readers (I do get alot of trafic from CT though) but I really do value your opinion on this matter, which leads me to ask.........what do you think of my blog so far? Is there anything wrong with it? Anything that I need to change? Is it fun to read? Is it interesting?
I credit this community with much of my knowledge on ships and the cruise industry, so I really do respect and appreciate your opinion here.

P.S. I personally would prefer a lighter background than reading white text on black. Maybe add an option in the stylesheet so you give readers a choise to switch to. Just a thought. Besides that it's clean and effective.

Thanks Frosty!
Thats my question too!! I am determind to go on one soon, hopefully within a few months. I tried to make it on to the Queen Victoria while she was out here in LA (they were offering one cruise for just $500), but couldn't in the end. This will be the year though!!

Thanks. I have been wanting to add some kind of review to the site, the only problem is that I haven't been cruising and therefore cannot offer my own review and I assume I can't use reviews off of other websites. I am currently looking for a partner for the website or at least a contributer to write something for it...to make it more interesting.

Its kind of funny to me, I am the oposite, I find it easier to read on a darker background . As far as offering a lighter background option, does anyone know how to do that? You are not the first person to say that, so if there is a way to add that option, I would love to. Thanks for the suggestion.
