Submit Your Own Reviews at About Budget Travel

On occasion, I review products and services that have potential benefits for budget travelers. Many of these reviews involve general travel books or guidebooks, and even an entire Carnival cruise.

It's only natural that people read these reviews and either disagree with them or want to add another point or two. With that in mind, About.com has added a User Review feature. On this and all other About.com Guide sites, you can now add your own review alongside the Guide's writing. All you'll need to do is create an About.com member name (something many of you already have done) open the review and click the link "write a review" next to the star ratings. You can't include your real name and you can't put URLs in the copy. They'll be moderated, so anyone who tries to post commercial messages or other nonsense will be wasting their time.

Please take advantage of this new feature. The more opinions we have about a given product or service, the more helpful it is for everyone.
