Welcome to my PhotoBlog, featuring daily photo from the place I live, places I've lived, places I like and places I've travelled to.

I have actually been following your photo blog for a little while now, you have some amazing photos and a huge variety.

I really like your banner, the bottom letters almost look like trees. The first things you show are subscription RSS, bookmark, Email updates, good stuff and it is the first thing people see.

Try adding a subscribe button to the bottom of each post as well, this will boost your subscriptions. Go to Feedburner and then the optimize tab:

A great way to get your blog out there is social networking websites i.e. digg, stumble, they can bring lots of traffic if used properly. Check out ShareThis for an addition to your blog, readers can share your blog with their friends much easier this way. http://sharethis.com/

I like that you have a description of your photography blog at the top, it could use a little trimming though. You could try condensing it so it is more appealing or alter the format of it by using bullet points • (hold Alt + 0149) for a list of other alt codes visit this page: http://www.tedmontgomery.com/tutorial/ALTchrc.html

Your page takes a while to load due to the amount of photos displayed on the first page. You have your archives and tags links set up really well and they're easy enough to find so you could try displaying fewer posts on the first page.

I like the way your photo blog is setup and use some similar techniques in mine.

At the bottom of your blog you have a lot of stuff displayed. You might want to try and reorganize some of it although it can be hard to get stuff to fit together well.

An alternative to the site meter and map is google analytics, it's a great site meter plus it has the added benefits of where your visitors are visiting from, for how long, which pages, where did they find your page, etcetera. Give it a try:
