Default SimplyWomen.org

We're looking for any area of improvement. Is there something that you could recommend to get or keep more members posting?

http://simplywomen.org

We're a site and community for all women. Our goal is to provide women with information from relationships to children and even retirement.

At this time we're using a style geared for the fall and holidays. We are Simply Women so the skin is girly but not over glitzy.

The site has a lot of extras to offer like tickers and Bux points. The Ishop may change to vbplaza later on. Our links directory is also growing each day.

At this time I'd like to keep the extras where they are and build the daily traffic.

Not bad at all. Interesting what you've done with vba as far as creating different pages per section as oppose to linking it over directly to the given forum. I like Decent amount of content given the member stats. I'd probably work a bit on that baige/yellowish color and using a few others, as the homepage seems to have a bit too much of it imo. Also, do you plan on having member journals listed on the forum page for long, or just till it gets to be too much?

Thanks Gio.

The maroon based skin is something we started for the fall/holiday season. I can work on the vba containers. Using vba as pages worked for us cause we aren't using GARs or another article system. This way I just use the news block to select articles and/or threads to display.

I'm sure once the journals get more popular we'll make them a sub-forum. I think leaving them as they are is a good way to advertise themselves. YKIM?

I think for fall colors the site looks great, might have to try a few of your recipeies, as well.

How does your site get indexed by SEs if you need to be logged in to view posts?

The site gets many search engines and not all of our posts are locked down. If everything was locked down then the vba pages wouldn't work.

Thank you Gio and Robert for checking things out.

I have the username restricted at this time. If anyone else would like to check out the forums under that name post here or PM me.

Wonderful ,what I do not like (and every website with vBA installed does this) is that they do not include a link to the forum in the navbar.I always hate finding the link on vBA to actually get into the forums.Otherwise it's great
