The new layout of FREEDOMtravel's homepage is finally ready. The idea is that it should be easier for you as a reader to find travel inspiration and reports, and that you should see more on the first page than just the latest posts. Perhaps it's not necessary, but we'll explain a little about our thinking!
Table of contents
Latest posts at the top
At the top of the page are the three most recent posts. You will find the most recent (i.e. today's) post on the far left. If you want to read older posts, click on "load more".
Hot on FREEDOMtravel
Just below the latest posts, we have added something called "Hot on FREEDOMtravel". Here we have the opportunity to add posts that we want to promote, or that we think are relevant.
Countries in Europe
Next is 'Countries in Europe', which are our country pages. If you click on any of these pages, you will find all the destinations we have written about in that country, from north to south, along with maps and links. We've also collected info and facts, films, "things you didn't know" and other bits and pieces. You can click on "Load more" to see more countries. And if the country you want to read about is not listed - it's because we haven't been there ...
Campsites and pitches
After 'Countries in Europe' comes a series of pages on campsites and caravan parks. On these pages, we list campsites and caravan parks (that we have visited) from north to south, along with maps and links. At the bottom of the pages, we have collected information on driving rules, road tolls and more.
Countries in the world
At the bottom of the page we have collected countries outside Europe. Here too, you can click "load more". So far there are countries in Asia, Africa, North America and Oceania.
Do we want feedback?
So, yes and no to this question ... Of course. love we want to hear what you think! At the same time, we are in a situation where it is difficult for us to change much right now. We can't make these kinds of changes ourselves, so we've hired a coder. It wasn't cheap, and we can't afford to spend more money on this at the moment.
So ... while we welcome your feedback, we may not be able to make corrections right now. So... hope hope hope that you think it is little good anyway!

I think the layout is great. If I was still travelling and needed inspiration and information, you would undoubtedly be at the top of my list.

You are so incredibly ambitious with your blog and it turns out so well!
Although I have to admit that I was a bit confused at first when I saw the new layout, but I'm the one who is a bit anti-change. I like it when everything is as it has always been 😉.
On wordpress they come up with changes that "affect" me all the time and I get really annoyed. Why do they do this? Since only I get used to it, I have to admit that most things have become better.
Just to confess. (Don't tell Anders, he knows this for a long time but has never heard a confession 😉 ).
I think it looks super nice on your blog now! But damn it, don't do it again! 😉 😀

Ama de casa says:
OK. I admit right away that when you do it again next time, I will get used to it again. Keep up the great work - congratulations!

Professional!
Readers are always a bit confused at first. Most of us are creatures of habit. However, it is easy to get used to something new for the better.

Like everyone else who has commented, I think that your changes were absolutely for the (even) better. You are really ambitious and high class. Praise there:-)

Daniela | Discovering The Planet says:
Not surprisingly ;), I like this layout better. I was also a bit reluctant before I changed mine, but I quickly realised that readers can suddenly choose what they want to read. Against the time when we all had all the posts on the first page :)).
And that thing about spending money on the IT guy... mine gets everything I earn hahahaha.

You've done a great job of that. Clear and neat.
At first I thought: Oh How should I look now among all the "boxes"? You also gave info about it, so now I also understand, an 08 hihihi.
Hugs to you
