This blog is already very good and successful as it is, but I think it would be a great idea for the blogger to do a video blog (vlog) post or a podcast every now and then.
Why? Orman is so much more bongga ever so much when you can see and hear him. Masarap pakinggan at panoorin si Orman when he is telling you what he hates, or how to get over your broken heart. It would also be very nice to see a nice video of him enjoying the places he visits or the food he is eating.
BONGGA YUN!
hold a “Ganda Mo, Teh!” monthly contest
where one can have a chance to win a make-over. saddest stories with a portrait pic to boot wins!
not only it will uplift ladies (and then some) confidence, you would be able to share tips on how to style and beautify themselves. di lang puro taga manila ang fashionista (no offense meant).
o di ba, tarush?
Hi, GF.
It would be nice if your blog will have a “Photo of the Day” section. Your photo should reflect your general mood/disposition for the day.
In this way, as soon as your readers reach the homepage, they’ll know if you are generally happy, pissed off, or close to clobbering someone to death.
It will be fun so think about implementing it. It’s time that your avid readers see the many faces of Orman Manansala, gaydom’s answer to Venus de Milo.
I know there is a plug-in for this so it’s doable. And of course, what makes this suggestion even more doable is that you have the best tech support rep in the world.
*wink*

What about putting a Reader’s Request section on this blog? where GESM fanatics/readers can request sir orman on what topics to write about, also where readers can ask sir orman for advices and “tambag” on love and life matters.. We can call it “Dear Orman”
^^

Hmmm… hirap man mag-isip, I’ll go for the techy side… I looked at your site’s source code and found that you don’t have a sitemap yet, so I suggest you add a sitemap to your blog. It helps in faster indexing of your site and the changes you have made in it. And I also suggest you add another page for your links, like a Link Directory Page para hindi masyado mataas tingnan yung blogroll mo sa side… okay lang naman xa ha, no offense meant, pero mas maganda cguro if may sariling page for the links para ma-categorized din yung mga links ng mga friends and iba pang kakilala mo… and lastly Add All in One SEO or Platinum SEO pack para ma-optimize yung blog mo…
Yun lang po, I hope di xa maxado techy for you…
ayun la ako iba maisip eh…

Well sa akin simple lang… How about adding a chat box here in your site Kuya. I’m sure most of your avid readers would also want to chat and make chika-chika with you when you are online. ^_^

Actually, okay na to kuya O..
No need to change.
No need to add some interactive plugins, you know why? kasi sa mga post mo pa lang very interactive na, at saka nakaka-agaw kasi ng attention kung may “bling2x effects” pa on your sidebars.
There’s beauty in simplicity.
Ang sa akin lang, yung frog sa taas, dapat may partner na yan. kawawa eh, siguradong bored na bored na yan. hehehe. cheers!

Sir Orman, thanks to you for sharing your life like an open book. There may be times when you post things that may not be agreeable to some, and would even trigger a good discussion. I don’t know how you can do this but I think it would be good if your followers, or readers for that matter, interact on a certain forum on your blog regarding some topics that may be interesting.
A forum or discussion board will be nice. I think it will not only create good mind use but as well friendships through the interactions.
Just my two cents.
sheng´s newest [type] post ..Shes Me- Physically
I’m not that sorry that I’m not a techie but I sure regret not being able to sugest something hi-tech for one
) haaay, if only techies would come up and say- yes orms, sakura’s suggestion is doable, ako bahala (lmao)
MY SUGGESTMENT: 3 separate “ask-pages” (do they call it link? whatever)for 3 separate audience — 1) ask the banker me; 2) ask the fashion-critic me; and 3) ask the true-friend me.
but of course, you can revise that suggestment to your own liking… (doh) for more explanation, please contact my secretary (evilsmirk).
I visit this blog at least once a day using my mobile phone, but it loads awfully slow because of the limited bandwidth of mobile devices, not to mention the heavy theme which cannot be seen on phones’ small screen estate. Phones account for a big chunk of blog visits!
I suggest using a mobile theme that would give mobile users easier reading. A WP plugin will do the trick.
And a little piece of my crazy mind: many of these blogposts would do great in a coffetable book- GESM Book 1! :p
the possibilities for this blog is ENDLESS!!! Gness
dami nang magagandang suggestions, i don’t know much about techie stuffs i can only suggest on things na i know…
since your blog have a BUNCH of followers especially GENERALS… why not do a page or link on the ESTABLISHMENTS in GENSAN “featured establishment for the week” to help market the place, do a tie up “parang visit GESM to get discounts from that establishment kind a thing” feature their best sellers add a POLL question if they like that also or not, and if they have any suggestions for that establishment…
in return the establishment will know and gather the suggestions you got from your loyal readers and they can give freebies or discounts para your readers kahit wala kang contest they can get something or some discounts to establishments just by reading and following GESM *wink* hehehehehe (andar pagka negosyante ko! awts hehehehe)

Yes! lapit na 1st blogoversary ng gandaeversomuch.com…
Isip2x!
Yes! A FORUM or Discussion board is nice….
isip muna ako kuya suggestion ko! = )
you’ve been dishing our hilarious posts about tips in here… as i’ve commented before, why not make it into a book… wala lang… “legacy purposes”… hehehe… but, kidding aside, this will be in national bookstore’s best-seller list for infinity… nyehehehehe… pero maganda rin kung may mga “two cents’ worth” ka na mga posts, just like the ones that you had with sunstar-gensan years back… those were fun and intellectual reads… puwede ka ring gumawa ng advice posts sa mga “problems and challenges” ng faithful readers mo… just like sa radio, pero once in a while lang, para dili sum-ol… solicit ka ng stories/problems, and give your “ganda ever thoughts” on the person’s predicament, diba sosyal? parang psychologist ang dating… hehehe… most of all, keep this blog running… andami mong napapasayang mga tao… cheers!!! happy blogoversary…
GESM means going global!
I would love to read interesting updates (just like that post of yours about NY) on your sojourn around the world and I bet it will start next week na:-D
go, GESM, go!

Hi Orman! Here’s my suggestion.
I know that you consider your Sundays very sacred (as you previously mentioned, tamad kang bumangon on Sundays and you just like to lie in bed hehe) so why not do a weekly recap of your thoughts/life lessons every Sunday?
Not only will you give a recap of the previous week’s happenings/events/thoughts, you’ll also share a distinct life lesson or special musings on a Sunday. You may also want to share special photos every Sunday or other things. Basta dapat BONGGA…dapat GANDA EVER yung post na yun every Sunday.
Kumbaga, basta Sunday, special post yun. Kumbaga your Sunday post will be the highlight of the week. It’ll be like what happens sa mga newspapers. Sundays will be the “family newspaper” because everyone’s at home and masarap mag-laze around lang. Your Sunday posts will also be the “pinaka-aabangang” post of the week.
Ayun

orman´s newest [type] post ..Blogversary Week 6 Best Suggestion Contest
Sir Orman
I see you go around town very often. Aside from the foods, it would be best sana if we could also run a movie review of sorts on the hottest on going reels in our locality. Siguro naman ang mga movie houses natin dito di magalinlangan na imbitahan ka na manood para mapost lang ang movie nila sa site mo.
And also, I wish i can have some beauty tips in here din, like the correct way to apply foundations and stuffs, would sure help with men like me who are also into beauty thingies.
i would like to suggest to have your site submitted to various search engine directories, or perform directory submissions in that way – your site will be searcheable wherever or what ever search engine/s is/are used.
Plus, it also increases your visibility online you can either try free or paid.
lastly, have your site’s monthly or yearly blogversary published on newspaper or television, it’ll create a traffic surge i hope it’ll not suffer the slash dot effect.
it will also cement your way on peoples mind and well keep on coming back and hunger for more.

Hi Orman, i love your blog! Your posts and stuff in your sidebars are just enough to make your blog very reader friendly.
But since we are asked to make a suggestion – then id make one that am sure will make us your readers love to visit your blog more. That is a video blog or video coverage of some of your exciting escapades a video blog that put actions to your words. And this will be an add on category to your list of categories so that your readers can easily track your latest video entries.
Another is the Dedication or Guestbook page that will reflect their Photo and locations wherein your first time ever visitors or faithful followers can leave their Hi that they have come by and they are touched or can relate in one way or another to a certain post.

My suggestion is for you to have an advice column blog post .. kahit once a week.
I really like the way you give out advices. Funny, kakaiba, applicable.. and somehow very REAL.
So your readers can email you their problems.. and you give out an advice the Ganda Ever So Much way.. I’m sure it’ll be a hit

This blog is simply full of wits, humor and charm. The content alone is more than enough reason to keep on checking for updates.
But since this is a suggestion contest (mag suggest na rin ako, tsk tsk tsk, hirap mag dagdag – nasabi na yata lahat), but I would like to rearrange the theme’s widgets to make it more clean and a feature for most read post and a podcast for top read pics and complementing liners.
Also a forum would be better for all your followers and readers.
Nagsuggest lang po ako.hahhahaha!
Take care kuya ganda.

why not having Quote of the day…
there are tons and tons of quotes which are really inspiring and some will make you love, live and laugh.. easy to post and easy to find…
inspiring bible verse of the day… in which readers can meditate upon.
Your blog is so successful because it’s entertaining and name palang bongang bonga na. I would like to suggest why not open a facebook fan page where many people can learn more about your site and your adventures. I am sure na ma do-dominate mo hindi lang ang blogniverse kundi ang facebook addicts.
I like the frog! I think it mirrors this blog and Orman’s personality too. So how about depicting life’s events (like in previous blogposts) but from the chic-red-lips frog state of mind. I believe that’s indeed challenging.
I mean, I think there should be a reason the frog is your mascot right? So why not push her further. Do cartoon strips (comics would do) from time to time re the life of your mascot.
Or maybe if you feel generous enough, how about a game of finding the missing frog. Say she’s lost, wala siya dun sa taas. But is hiding somewhere in this site and the first one who sees her, voila! yey! Haha
Actually, the blog is already perfect. Palitan na lang siguro ng frog yung cursor, to complement the site mascot. para echoserang palaka all the way!
28 suggestion-entries na nakaka-challenge ng aking katabaan. hehehe! thank you, ladies and gentlemen. thank you, faithful readers! i will be announcing the winners today…
