As well as blogging about food here at The Gooseberry Fool, I also have a travel site at Roaming Tales, which includes both a blog and my professional travel articles.
I have been surprised at how much more popular my food site has been than my travel site and I am trying to figure out why - is it something peculiar to my blogs, or is food simply a bigger niche? I am beginning to suspect the latter - if you want to know why, please visit Roaming Tales to read about my blogging experience, and my analysis of the UK magazine market.
I would love to hear your comments, either here or on Roaming Tales.

My theory is this: tomorrow, I can’t really go travelling. If you rave about how wonderful New Zealand is, I can drool lustfully, but it’d probably take at least a year and more like a decade at my rates before I’d ever be able to go.
On the other hand, if you tell me how rubbish cupcakes are, I can go shopping tomorrow and bake up a batch to test your theory
