Let's assume that you're a wine
blogger, or any kind of blogger for that matter. Pretend I'm a winery with limited internet knowledge, other than knowing that it might be good to send a sample or two to wine bloggers for review. So, I go to your
website, and I look to contact you. Will I succeed? Sadly, the answer is often, NO.
This is a short tip and a very easy problem to solve! Make sure there is a VERY OBVIOUS WAY to contact you!

It's finally done! Well, not completely, as this is a never-ending project, but at least we've created a solid foundation. Over the past month, we have given Wineblogger an extreme makeover, providing it with a cleaner design, a better layout and more functionality. With 500+/- links to wine blogs and growing, lumped together as one, there was no way to differentiate blogs by either type or language. Now you can!
All blogs submitted to wineblogger.info have been placed into a category based on language, and in some cases, type. However, as this project is by the wine blogger and for the wine blogger, we need your help!
We've collated wine blogs from Vinography, Wineblogger, Alawine and Google searches. That said we put into effect a rule that they had to have been updated in 2008. In 2009 we'll begin to remove even more ...
