I need help too. My site needs some postings!!

[Clare]

I was just reading all the help Lee was getting and thats great. I would like some too. I know some of you have seen my site, but I want to know specifically, do you think it is too colorful? Is the front page too busy? Is it hard to figure out whats going on? I've spent alot of time working on it, and if theres something that can be improved, I'd like to improve it.
I've also noticed that most visitors right away go to the forum on my site. I don't have many posts on it so the visitors don't usually (make that never) post either. Conceptually I think the idea will work (which is why I started it), but its taking a while to get going. Its not even like I have no visitors, they just havn't posted.

So, give me some ideas. Should I be focusing on adding info on tips to save money and headaches or should I be focusing more on something else?

By the way, the main idea of the site is a place to post about stores or services you don't like or you do like. Recommend them to people or warn them not to use it. Just your opinion. Read other peoples info too. Thats the idea.
Thanks!

I think it is a pretty nice skin personally. You can always experiment with changes and see what seems to do the best.

My main suggestion for now would be to work on building article content and forum activity. Grab a few friends (possibly imaginary ones ;) ) and get some forum topics going.

Thats what I'm trying out right now. Its slow going, but its building traffic. Thanks for the advice. :)

Hi Clare,

I just visited your web site and in my brouser. when I visit your forums, the front page looks great but when I go to a posting it is at the bottom of the page under the side menu, not next to it.

I like the background color, it makes reading the text easy.

I just sent you an email with an attachment. I saved the attachment in Rich Text so you should be able to read it.

Thank you for all you have done to try and help me out,

Lee
