Support this site

You may notice that Travel Writers News has no visible means of support. That’s correct; it’s been a labor of love for many years. I still love the site, but now (August, 2009) I’ve added this feature as a way for it to love me back.

Your use of this link to Amazon.com helps to support Travel Writers News by creating a small referral fee for any purchases you make (books, electronics, cameras, Kindle, apparel, etc.).

How to use it:

  1. Click on one of the small, dark blue arrows in the lower right corner (below the books) and hold to move the books around. (It’s fun to watch them spin.)
  2. Click on any book to enter Amazon’s webiste.
  3. Make any purchase (or not).

Thanks in advance for your support. And thank you for continuing to support your local independent bookstores and libraries, as well.

Here’s another way to support Travel Writers News:

The wildly popular Thesis theme helps make your web content search-engine friendly with its specially designed SEO-friendly programming that separates the site architecture from the html content. Thesis also makes it easy to manage the look of your WordPress website right from the control panel. You can easily:

  • Experiment with fonts and layouts to customize your site’s design.
    • Change the fonts and type sizes for headers, footers, headlines, subheads, sidebars, bylines, and body copy.
    • Change the number and width of columns, and column order.
    • Decide what parts of the post byline to display.
  • Control Feedburner or other syndication options.
  • Add Google Analytics or other statistics software.
  • Control comments settings.
  • Modify avatar settings.
  • Select pages, categories, and links to include in the navigation menu.
  • Add a custom title tag (the most important aspect of SEO) and meta description to each page.
  • Manage post image, teaser, and thumbnail positions.
  • Manage a multimedia box (holding videos, changing images, ads, etc.)
