You need to be able to track the traffic to your site, and tie it to a trigger. if this is being done that is great spend some time with your data.

Your real goal here is to make your site into one that somebody would want to make it their ‘home page’. reward them for doing so. make your content as such so they would want to log on to see what you are doing. That requires daily attention. yeah, its work.

intermediately I would reward the Nth poster of a coherent comment the chance to post (or Pick) the next topic. That is easy and does not require any changes. Im relying on your algebra to know what the Nth poster means.

Im throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks here.

I had this revelation. The internet is nothing. Its a bunch of computers connected together. What makes it interesting is what a person can perform (record on video), create (in code) teach (how to), comment about (ideas), or make easier to access (get to).

You have to want to though. And you need a site provider that will allow you to do the thing that you dream up. You need to be the source to inspire others, and tap them for content as they are inspired.

On that. Gather a following of people (you have that already)and have them deliver to you the most interesting content they can find on the web. Just a link then you post it out for them to view.

See the biggest talking heads are not smart, they have smart people working for them. Employ your followers to give you info (hot links, new stuff, cool sites) and include them in the credits.

When have i ever got an email about changes on the Ibrianearly.com website? No, not ever. Smart phone tsunami man, ride the wave. Email blasts. Someone emailing me a link to your site about a cat puking it guts out…. now that is funny. That would make my day.
