Great 1st Day... and we're not even open yet?

Posted by JTodd on February 15, 2008 at 8:10pm in General Member Discussions

WOW! Our first day and we have over 60 new profiles created in less than 24 hours! Outstanding! Just think what will happen when we actually announce this! =0)

We have made this area available to you even though it's not "officially" launched yet. Many features work but some are still being set-up. You are welcome to open an account, take a look around, and send us feedback while we continue to work on this project!

But you should take care, that your URLs look a little bit better, that the content is better indexed in the search engines.; ▶ Reply to This

This looks like it's going to be awesome!

Just sent out invitations to about 50 other people.. (thanks to one from Lori :) (I didn't do it... LOL!); ▶ Reply to This

Yea they are a bit difficult as it requires html coding for each post to make the links "look" good and read well to produce SERPS. It's another "balancing" act to get all the data uploaded QUICKLY and allow users to navigate easily.

Suggestions? I'm not a tech or SEO expert...; ▶ Reply to This

However, the "official" announcement will come on Fridays video when I give out links and invite others over.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by RobWin on February 18, 2008 at 2:13pm: If I may make a suggestion J, regarding the post length edit time of 15 minutes...that may be a little short, maybe consider extending the edit time on posts to one hour...also if you could add a spell checker to the tool bar above the post reply box that would be greatly appreciated...seems I can not hardly spell without it...LOL; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by JTodd on February 18, 2008 at 3:43pm: Gawd I wish I could change that feature... and maybe I can, but I would need to get into the coding of the software. We are hoping to add a programmer to our staff full time ASAP, but for now I will have to go with how it was originally designed.

If the team that did this can fix that stuff easily, maybe they would do it for me. However, they aren't always the easiest to get in touch with.

I would have spell check and an "edit post" button added before launch... if I had that option.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by JTodd on February 18, 2008 at 4:23pm: Yes, I have been very blessed so far. I mean, I work in a great (albeit volital) industry with great people. And the members who have already joined have sent out another 700+ invites to other's all on their own! That's amazing to me!

THANK YOU to everyone who's helping us grow! We need you and appreciate what you do to help!; ▶ Reply to This
