    Hi all,

    Was thinking of starting a blog about getting the best bang for your euro when booking a holiday. So it would essentially be a travel blog.

    Anybody any tips/tricks, or what is the best site to use?

    Thanks :)

    A blog about your own travels?
    Or a blog to scan the places that sell travel and post the cheapest on your own site?

    Have you looked at what's already out there? You need to separate yourself from the rest if you want the audience.

    There is a tour operator in Dun Laoghaire that does good holiday deals. Can't think of their name just now but they do offer a 5 year money back guarantee.

    Wordpress.com or Blogger.com are simple and look nice.

    Tip: Have a 'bang' of the day...ahem, scantly clothed female on the beach or enjoying other holiday related shenanigans :pac:

    Kind of both really, it'll be one with tips and tricks on how to get the best deals, hidden gems of hotels that nobody notices, handy websites that sort of thing!

    Oh and of course the odd post about my own travels :P

    Can't seem to see anything out there like it at the moment, unless you know one ? :)
