Thanks for the Feedback!
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008Last week I used this space to ask you what you wanted to read here. The response was great. Many people left comments on the blog and even more emailed me directly. I appreciate the feedback and have tabulated the results.
Celebrity travel stories & meet and greets - 20%
Reader contests (perhaps for GT stuff) - 15%
Conventions coverage - 15%
Business info for smaller cities - 12.5%
Info on GT staff and behind the scenes - 12.5%
Expanding on GT articles - 10%
Travel deals - 5%
Diet and fitness on the road - 5%
Travel bloopers - 2.5%
Very specific topic ideas (aka the rest) - 2.5%
All are interesting ideas. I can start delivering some of the requests immediately. Others will show up gradually. Unfortunately, some are out of my control, but not out of the question. Each suggestion has been noted and is appreciated.
I will continue to write celeb stuff, because I like it and my work brings me in contact with a lot of celebs. I will start getting travel stories from them. As a matter of fact, on a recent trip to Los Angeles, I started working on this. Those stories will be told in the near future.
I meet most of the celebs at conventions. Since I work with the people who run the conventions, I will give more in-depth coverage of the specifics of the convention’s inner workings.
I would be happy to share my travel bloopers. I usually don’t make it through any trip without at least one mishap. Since I do a lot of work in smaller cities like Kokomo (IN), Novi (MI), Rosemont (IL) and Madison (WI), I can bring some attention to them as well.
I will do the best I can with all of the ideas. This is your blog, as much as it is mine. I hope you continue reading, responding and suggesting.
