Latest Updates

  • NEW

    Publish queue visible in the admin blog dashboard

    The admin blog page now shows a Publish Queue card at the top: next 5 scheduled posts with relative times ("in 11 hours", "tomorrow"), a pulsing indicator, and a one-click Publish now button on each. The full post table is sorted scheduled-first (next-to-publish on top) with the same Publish now action per row. Overdue posts — scheduled times that have already passed — get an amber warning so missed slots never go unnoticed.

  • NEW

    6 new blog posts queued through July 10

    Added six SEO-targeted posts to the content calendar: Japan safety, common Southeast Asia scams, the full travel safety checklist, best time to visit 10 safe countries, Portugal vs Spain comparison, and the safest Caribbean islands. Each is 760-1040 words of original, source-cited content, scheduled 1 per day at 14:00 UTC. Country and region tags are tuned so the new interlinking lights up the right country pages on publish (Japan, all Asian countries, all European countries, all Caribbean/Americas countries). The blog now has 11 posts scheduled through 2026-07-10, plus the 4 already live.
