I’ve actually got a good excuse for not making as many posts as I would like.  The Infant & Children Sleep Apnea Awareness Foundation decided to do something for the children of Haiti after the earthquake in January 2010.  They contacted me about designing a website and branding for their HelmetsForHaiti.org site.  And of course I took on the project (and ignored izunotravel.com for a while).  So if you would like to make a donation, check out the site and you can either bid on auction items starting March 8th, or you can make a small monetary donation if you’d like as well.  Personally, I wish the Red Cross would get a higher percentage of their donations to the actual cause.  And that’s what I really like about Helmets For Haiti, I believe the percentage of their donations is much higher to actually aid the cause.

So after two years and numerous comments (that I still get) I have revamped the Travel Journal Review for 2010.  This has been one of my most popular posts, so I sat down and completed the task.  There are a total of 26 online travel journal/travel blog sites that I evaluated and ranked in my favorite order.  Based on numerous categories hopefully this will help you decide which online journal you wish to use for yourself.  Be assured I do not claim that this is 100% accurate or perfect.  I spent 8 days registering, evaluating, and ranking these sites, and everything was starting to look like the same toward the end.  Nevertheless, in order to be as accurate as possible, if you feel something is entirely wrong just send me an email ([email protected]).  You can read more about the sites and ranking by clicking on the salmon colored “i” circle.
