I think it looks great - a bright welcoming place to drop in have a chat and share ideas. Great work!

I am really liking it, although have been pressed for time the last several days so not on here as much as I would like. It has all the things I liked before, plus nice addition with the featured member. And the smilies of course... rabbit

You're always thinking Shelagh. It's great!
Yes, now you're wondering "what next?"

Subject: Re: Thought I'd do a bit of fishing... Sun Mar 23, 2008 2:17 am

No Abe -- I know what's next! LOL! I'm going to add a newsletter to the forum with a link on the navigation bar. The idea came from Susie when she requested all the marketing tips together in one place.

The newsletter will contain information sent to me by members of the forum. Good idea?

Shelagh, thanks a great idea. I'm looking forward to reading your article on self-publishing versus Lulu and PA.

Hi Jenny,

I've been playing around with the new Featured Member addition. I think the page is looking pretty good now!

Things are looking great, clean and usable - my biggest criteria. Thanks for all the hard work.

As always, Shelagh, you are an inspiration. You do so much good work, and we all get to reap the benefits.

Shelagh, what type of water do you drink:?: It has to be in the water:!: You are so energetic and full of great ideas! Do you ever sleep?

Thank you for a great forum!

Minutes ago, I received an email saying that the article should be up by the end of the week. As soon as I know more, I'll post a link to the article.

Hi Shelagh,

I've just seen the changes you've made to the Featured Author page... my other 'alf didn't recognise me! Seriously, the page looks great. Thanks once again for making me the first featured author...

Hey Shelagh, the list of daily visitors is growing steadily and things seems to be really moving along. Great to see the progress and that people are coming in and branching out. Thought I'd do a bit of fishing... 588578

Hi Pam,

The forum is ticking along nicely! Anyone interested in the stats can click on the | Statistics | link at the bottom of the page.

The first newsletter will be added on Sunday with information about how to use the forum and all the new features: Thought I'd do a bit of fishing... Icon_mini_profile

There is a surprising amount of information on that stats link! I look forward to the newsletter. You are so very ambitious.

Subject: Re: Thought I'd do a bit of fishing... Wed Mar 26, 2008 8:40 am

Love that there is a chat feature-how cool!

Subject: Re: Thought I'd do a bit of fishing... Wed Mar 26, 2008 9:18 am

The chat feature is great. Shelagh and I road tested it last night. It's a bit confusing at first, because you assume you can type under your name, but you can't. There's a box at the right hand corner of the page--just use that. Great fun!

Subject: Re: Thought I'd do a bit of fishing... Wed Mar 26, 2008 9:41 am

So, how do you get to the chat feature?

Subject: Re: Thought I'd do a bit of fishing... Wed Mar 26, 2008 10:06 am

Hi Zada,

On the home page, at the bottom of the page under the list of members who have visited the forum during the last 24 hours, you will see a link asking you to join the ChatBox. You can go there anytime. If you want to chat at a particular time, send a pm and arrange a chat. If another member is on the boards at the same time as you and you have a question for them, send a pm and ask them to join the ChatBox.

To communicate, type in your message and press "return".

Subject: Re: Thought I'd do a bit of fishing... Wed Mar 26, 2008 4:09 pm

Thanks Shelagh. I was looking all over on this page trying to find it. The home page makes more sense, which is probably why my simple little mind couldn't figure it out! Surprised

Subject: Re: Thought I'd do a bit of fishing... Wed Mar 26, 2008 4:19 pm

Wow those stats are cool. Would be even better if you were somehow getting paid for all your hard work Shelagh; when you see it all laid out like that not only is it an amazing testimony to what your`re doing, it a real comment on the amount of info, support and smiling we want to share.

Shocked

Subject: Re: Thought I'd do a bit of fishing... Wed Mar 26, 2008 9:44 pm

Especially the smiling!! have needed that of late. But all the information flowing here is wonderful too. I am trying to be a sponge!

Subject: Re: Thought I'd do a bit of fishing... Thu Mar 27, 2008 4:30 am

Here Zada, maybe you need some of this too...

Thanks Pam, I needed that. You are a mind reader.
