One of the things that I have a problem doing is making buttons, they are a pain in the behind and usually take me longer to make than it is worth, but then I was stumbling along, like I do when I get bored and found this.
Not bad eh?
Simple and gets the job done….
There is a site that I have been nursing along for a very long time, however I have now decided that it is time to either get it bake to life, or kill it.
I am thinking that I am going to revive the site, and document everything that I do to make this happen here.
Currently the stats for the site include .25 registrations a day and 2 new threads a day.
So today we start back at zero. I am going to be doing a couple of things to make the site the place to be.
First I am going to make a minimum of 10 posts a day, with a minimum of 5 new threads.
Second, start working on automated post exchanges
Third, redesign the logo and get some online marketing materials made
And fourth, I am going to start working on contest ideas, something that will generate interest in the site.
I will report back in a week to let you know how it is going. Every month for the next year I will post the average number of posts, new threads and registrations per day.
If anyone has any advice, please post it here. I would be very interested in hearing what you have have done in the past to revive a currently dead forum.
I am in the process of thinking about installing VBlog on one of my sites. I did have Vblogetin on my site but there was not that much interest, and it seems like that project pretty much died.
VBlogs has the huge development team behind it so I am pretty sure that it is going to be around for the long term. Also you can be sure that it will work nicely with the forum software.
There are a couple of things that I am going to have to work on before I can think about putting too much time into this, and that is to make the site more attractive to new users.
Has anyone here gave Vblog a try? If so, what did you think?
