1. Get an alert (audible or blatant visual) if my name is mentioned on the Cafe or here (as in "Yoo hoo, MajRoj!). That would make the Cafe worth a lot more than it is now. Hmm. . .or maybe instant messaging? That would save the comments section from being referred to as a chat room so much.
2. The ability to make a no-pay blog or post, as in "You can click on this as many times and ways as you want and I am not accepting credit either for ranking or money". Maybe this venue here is supposed to do that, but it is so infrequently checked or commented on that the ability to "freeblog" under my own nom de BN would draw more attention. This entire comment is an example of what I am writing about, garnering input or help without seeming to be conning people into hits. You are on your own with this one.
3. How about being able to make a "showcase blog", where you post a "no-pay blog" (see above) which people outside the BN can access? This might draw more people to BN. At one time, I suggested a random selection of posts be reposted in a sample blog that would be accessible by non-members as a way to show potential members what we are all about. Suggest it. Shaycom as always been open to suggestions.
4. Can we formulate some sort of permanent (but updated as needed) greeting and instructional blog for new people (and to remind us what the vision and plans for the BN are). Sort of a "BN Bootcamp"? We could even write it for the BN ringmasters to edit or use as they see fit. Sort of a select, first-exposure, friendly welcome for the new people. Excellent idea.
What do you all think? The BN is about one year old and has "morphed" teriffically. Can we ask (in a more organized fashion) the powers-that-be-about some features and stuff we would like to see...and maybe pay or write for? I believe I have also mentioned this one. Never hurts to try again.
