Whe searching "search all forums"-one can not see latest post first, they come mixed from 2007 and then suddenly 201o. It's also very difficult to understand which one is the original post and which is the answers.

...so that it can, say, find posts that mention the word "fire".

Just an example.

Like the way Google can:

A basic dashboard for LP blog users to customise ads, make sure adsense id is correct, lp's own analytics of our blogs and basic customisation of how our blogs appear on the site. Also with the ability to select the widgets that will appear on LP's site - in a very basic model.

In Advanced Search, allow users to restrict results to dates (i.e last week, month, year).

The content picked up by LP through our feeds is often displayed in an awkward manner. It would be nice if we had some control to wrap text around photos, work on placement of photos, etc. from within the LP site.

Having to look at the individual posts is very tiring. Would make more sense to lists threads, because in a thread about Paris, most likely every post would say "Paris" somewhere

If I create a very generic post and put tags for every single region or country then it'll automatically show up on every single Lonely Planet page. Some people may try to take advantage of this flaw in order to increase potential Google Ads revenue.

Right now, ads are very generic .. theory would be that ads more targeted to the content in the blog post would generate more revenue.

Make it easy for readers to share content they like on Twitter, Facebook, Digg etc. with a "Share This" function at the bottom of every post as it appears on LonelyPlanet.com

From the technomadia guys "maybe a useful feature might be a blogger byline with the post.. to help put the content in context and reason to learn more about the blogger?
