Regular readers might be wondering why the blog hasn’t been quite as busy as usual.

(a specialist tourism internet 
Photograph of the week... what do you think?
There are a number of regular features on A Luxury Travel Blog nowadays. On Fridays, we have the ‘recipe of the week’, on Sundays ‘luxury travel links of the week’ and on Mondays ‘suite of the week’.

It’s been a promising summer for A Luxury Travel Blog with the total number of unique visitors to the site exceeding 20,000 for three consecutive months of June, July and August.

The L-List on Facebook
Remember The L-List from earlier this year? That was inspired by The T-List which did the rounds among the travel blogging arena. The L-List, of course, was for luxury bloggers and now, like The T-List, we have our own Group on Facebook. If you are already on the L-List, or feel youNew recipe feature on A Luxury Travel Blog

Top 20,000 in Technorati
A Luxury Travel Blog made it into the top 20,000 blogs on Technorati over the weekend. It might not seem like much but, when you consider that this has been achieved in a little over a year and that Technorati currently tracks 71.8 million blogs, that’s no mean achievement. That puts it in'Luxury travel' in Google
Only a week ago, I blogged about A Luxury Travel Blog’s continued progress in the search engines. I mentioned that – now that #1 placements were now achieved across all search engines for the term ‘luxury travel blog’ – I was setting myself the much stiffer challenge of moving up the rankings for the shorter,Regular features on A Luxury Travel Blog

The L-List
Calling all luxury bloggers! Inspired by the recent T-List that’s doing the rounds, I thought it’s about time we started an L-List. As you may have guessed, L-List stands for Luxury List, and it provides luxury bloggers a means of being discovered. You might be blogging about any aspect of the luxury arena… cars…

The T-List
I’ve been resisting posting details of the T-list but it seems to be spreading around the blogosphere so well that it would be rude not to join in, particularly since A Luxury Travel Blog was one of the first to be listed. I first read about it on Guillame Thevenot’s blog here, but it
