My latest project is a web site called Blavel on which users can post travel blogs and photos from their travels. I decided to create it because I get a lot of enjoyment from reading travel blogs on other websites - I find them really interesting.
One of my main goals in creating the site has been to keep a clean and simple interface that is easy to use and accessible. I find that a lot of other similar sites are very cluttered in their visual design, which detracts from the impact of the stories themselves.
The site is also intentionally light-on features at this stage as my idea is to base the development of new features for the site to be primarily driven by feedback from users.

I`m wondering:
- Am I achieving my goals of simplicity and ease-of-use?
- Is the site easy to navigate / does it have an intuitive design?
- Any ideas on getting my site out there and seen?
- Any other useful feedback?
