Launched the website in December 2008.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
I thought it aptly described what the site is about.
What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?
It's written by a local for travellers, like a virtual personal guide. Has a personal, friendly feel to it.

I'd like to derive income from it.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
Just starting up - it's hard to say.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
Just spend more time on it.

I hope so.

None so far.

Getting better at web design
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
Can't answer that yet.
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
It hasn't.
How long have you run the site already, and how long will you continue to keep it up if you don't enjoy big gains in traffic, income or popularity?
Just a few weeks now, if I don't enjoy it, it will be hard to keep going.
