Do you love Fabulous Travel and have a little time or effort to help us grow? You, our readers have been our biggest allies in the past, enabling us to continually grow and improve.

So what can you do to help the Fabulous Travel community grow? Here's a few things you can do that require little effort.

1. Buy stuff from our store and book store.
2. Spread the word about Fabulous Travel.
3. Make Fabulous Travel your home page.
4. Nominate us for an award (we do deserve it!)
5. Become a message board leader.
6. Write an article.
7. Become a contest sponsor

Purchase products from the book store . The Bookstore is part of Amazon.com, where you regularly get books for 10 - 30% of the list price. You can help us by making all your Amazon.com purchases through the link in our Bookstore. You'll get the same Amazon.com low price on books, but the commission we earn will help us keep this site going. This will even work for books we haven't reviewed, just use the handy Amazon.com search link

Another way you can help Fabulous Travel grow and improve is to tell everyone you know about our site and our community. Spread the word that "Travel is not Just for the Rich!"

We've made it easy for your to tell friends about Fabulous Travel by placing "Email This Page To A Friend" links on each page. With the click of a mouse you can automatically tell up to five friends about almost any page in the entire Fabulous Travel web site!

Another easy way is by adding our ever so tasteful tag to your email signature file.

By making Fabulous Travel your home page, you'll automatically come here each time your launch your browser. Click here for the simple, step-by-step instructions.

4. Nominate us for an award

Do you know of a web site award you can nominate us for? By all means, please do. We'd be most appreciative.

5. Volunteer to be a Fabulous Traveler

If you enjoy travel and are looking for a fun way to interact with others who share your interests, why not join the Fabulous Travel volunteer community?

Do you want to gain exposure for your own site, product, service or book while helping us grow at the same time? While we cannot pay our volunteers, we will work with you in any way that we can by offering a link to your website (links subject to approval), a space on our Credits page, a bio page and a HUGE amount of gratitude. If you have a book or product to promote, we'll also be happy to link to the appropriate Amazon.com page or do whatever else we can to help.

If you are interested in any of the volunteer positions, please email cheri@fabuloustravel.com for further information.

We are currently seeking new board moderators for the following forums:

• Cooking Q&A's -- Are you an experienced cook/chef? Can you troubleshoot potential cooking problems or know how to fix cooking disasters? As the leaders of this message board, you can help readers find answers to cooking questions and problems, as well as encourage readers to help each other.
• Kitchen Tips -- Do you love sharing practical tips and advice. Do you have a million "tricks of the cooking trade" and enjoy collecting new ones? This is the message board for you.
• Holidays -- Do you have a favorite holiday? We'll be adding message boards throughout the year dedicated to most of the major holidays (the minor ones too if there's enough interest). At Fabulous Foods, we want to keep holiday traditions and cultures alive. This message board will encourage readers to share stories, recipes and ideas that help make holiday celebrations more memorable.

Other Message Boards We are always open to suggestions (we may not take them, but we are open) about new discussion board ideas. If you have one you'd like to pursue, send an email with the details to cheri@fabulousfoods.com.

We are always looking for great food and cooking articles. Do you have a special collection of recipes you're dying to share with the world? Please query with ideas, first. Do not send unsolicited submissions. All queries via email to cheri@fabulousfoods.com. Articles should be concise (1500 words or less) and more often than not, include recipes. Please state photo availability. Re-printed articles are fine. By submitting an article or recipes to Fabulous Foods, you grant us permission to publish it and edit it for length and content, as necessary. By submitting your contribution, you represent that you are its author or creator. Please be aware that we archive all articles so a submission to Fabulous Foods gives us permission to run the article for the life of this web site. Click here for writers guidelines.

Do you have a travel related product or service that you'd like to promote on the Fab Travel web site? Consider becoming a Fabulous Travel contest sponsor. Email cheri@fabulousfoods.com for details.
