The new villa review system is LIVE! UPDATED -

[Anthony]

This is a work in progress so I am soft launching here on a Friday, but it is live, and would really appreciate anyone who has a review to post taking a few minutes to do so.

http://www.virgin-islands-on-line.com/villa-reviews/

You can leave ratings, photos, embed video, etc. We posted the last two years of St. John into the new system, but we will eventually go back three years. If you have an older review that is on the system that you want to update by adding some photos or a video, you can copy and paste from the old web page into the new system.

You will have to register - but that registration will be good for a lot of stuff we will be doing going forward.

Register here: http://www.virgin-islands-on-line.com/c ... &blog_id=6

The pages need to be fleshed out - they will all eventually have a map and a little info and pic - like these villas:

Rapture http://www.virgin-islands-on-line.com/v ... n/rapture/

Anchorage Away http://www.virgin-islands-on-line.com/v ... ge-aweigh/

We will be working on this constantly until we have it where we want it. I think it is a big improvement and has some neat features. I hope you like it!

Thanks for your participation and to testers liamsaunt and mbw1024

If your villa isn't in the list let me know - I will add it ASAP.

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for this. FYI my villa review for Summer Wind is still showing up twice. Thanks.

Looking good!

In trying to update my 2009 review of Casa Bueno using the iPad I found that the " upload photos" button was unresponsive. iPad? me? Everything else went well.

Yup - iPad. Can't upload through the browser... didn't think of that.

Anthony,

Just tried to login using my VIOL login and password. Not letting me in.

Correction, tried again, using the registration link, DUH. Was able to.

Yes sorry these two systems don't talk to each other unfortunately, but I do encourage people to register with the same names they use here - forget to mention that!

Hi Anthony,

can you add San Costanzo? I'll do a review from our last trip there.

Thanks!

Is it possible to have some little designation at the top of review to know how many bedrooms? That way when looking for a villa with a certain # of bedrooms we won't have to read through each review to figure it out? That would be great!

Added this villa - should be available in a few minutes. Refresh the page if you don't see it in the drop down list.

It is - someway. Probably as a "tag" - I am working on how and where to place it exactly.

I see many of you have registered, but we are still waiting for some new reviews!

I will be working this week on fleshing our more villas with maps, an image, and some links. We'll start with sponsors, and then move to villas that have reviews from the last few years.

For an example of how all the pages will eventually look, see this one:

Also don't forget that you can leave star ratings on any villas already with a user review -

Looks good. If you will add Casa del Sol I'll try to get a review up soon.
