Editor's notes
Welcome to the seventh edition of OZ-Traveller! Or should I say...OZ-b&b News! Yes, we have re-named our newsletter so as not to get it confused with the newsletter we send to Travellers that visit our site and stay at your lovely B&B.
Things are really taking off here at OZbedandbreakfast.com. In this issue we will share with you some of the comments from our travellers, and our members.
We have spent the last month working hard to bring new and fantastic features to OZbedandbreakfast.com. An outline of the new features can be found in this issue along with tips and information on how to make them work for you.
The month has also seen us listed in premium locations in search engines such as Google, Yahoo, NineMSN and Overture.
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome our 63 new Bed and Breakfast members that have joined us in the past 30 days. We thank you for joining us, and hope you start to see the benefits of membership.
One more small note. We have re-located to sunny Queensland. Our new mailing address is: 30 Gristock Street Coorparoo, QLD, 4151
Enjoy...
