Thanks for the help.

I think we have found a niche with Automatic Car Hire. also we have managed to insert our booking engine into the site.

Certainly will be reviewing the format

A relatively new blogger of http://www.twinsoup.com, your findings make great food for thought! Thanks for the info!

…a blogger is mere a designer than a writer. A challanging task for someone, who has no knowledge in HTML, CSS and PHP…

but you are definetly right..

Another page which has a similar very strict strict blog format can be seen here: topfives.org. It might be a kind of concept copy but here we also see the domain name mirroring the blog format. The blog format is 'Nothing but Top Five lists from multiple authors on multiple subjects'. Even different languages are allowed (Comment title stolen from a record created by my friend Axel Dill)

Having one’s own design for customized blog outlay depecting content intention is very much welcome thought. Innovation in design along with uptodate content plus extensive marketing is very essential for blogs success.

Thanks for the compliment. “case study” That’s the term I was looking for all the time (instead of ‘example’).

Now I will go and smack myself for using to many exaggerated attributes in the article (very important, most important, very narrow, definitely, arghhh). Ryan should write an grammar article about it – tell us the correct grammatical term for ‘very’ – and I could follow up with real life examples easily

Nice case study, Markus.

I agree that’s important to have a detailed plan before starting a blog. The plan will constrain your blog. And surprisingly, constraints lead to more creativity and better execution, which leads to a unique brand, which leads to traffic and profits
