Just a short update: As you suggested, you can now place links within your profile on GuideGecko (actually, all links will become hyperlinks automatically – and it already works in your profile).

Also wanted to let you know of our new writing contest, which gives you the opportunity to showcase your own titles on the Frankfurt Book Fair (main prize is a personal trip to the fair).

So, in case you are considering to upload more guides, now is the best time!

Cheers,
Daniel

I also took at the Gecko site – although I haven’t got any guides that would be updloading at present, I concluded that it might be a useful way to distribute a guide and charge for it, if one was prepared to put some time and effort into something that provided good value for the reader.

I thought of doing something on my home town of Bristol which is a great place to visit but only warrents a few pages in most guidebooks, even in the Lonely Planet guide to South West England.

Anyway, for now it’s on the endless of things to do when I’ve got the time.
