    This new site is finally open!!

    It took me a long time to get here, from concept to reality, but I'm proud of it.

    It's far from perfect, but I thought I'd toss it up here and see what the reviewers think.

    Lemme have it.....

    Nice. Someone actually went through with it, unlike me :(. My site hasn't even been opened yet. I suck at this :(.

    Looks GREAT Peggy. Your forum not only is for a specific purpose, but the name of your forum allows flexibility to expand into other topics if you want.

    It still looks great. :D


    How are you planning on getting members? Print up fliers and putting them in doctors offices?

    Thanks again! :D

    So far, I am connecting with adhd websites, autism websites, and asperger syndrome websites, telling them about the site and asking them to put up links to it. A couple of Facebook causes have added my link. I have 2 new members from one link already.

    My son's therapist is going to spread the word for us, as is his special ed teacher.

    I don't expect membership to grow rapidly. This is a very niche area, and people with these disorders are shy. It will be slow going, but hopefully we'll gain their trust.

    Honestly it sounds similar from a niche point of view as we are, but we have nothing to do with the medical field. We printed up stickers, made a few shirts, went to some conventions. Got experts in our field from all over the world as members now. Most lurk but a few help out, the lurkers learn what the other members issues are and that in turn improves what the experts do. That is what it is all about, making things better.

    Drs get free pens from pharmaceutical companies all the time, and they are put out for people to take. I'm sure if you had some promotional items sent to them they would distribute the same way.

    You may want to consider it because the quality of membership is much higher than finding the typical web types.

    I agree with you, and I will go that route in time. :)

    Looking good Peggy, I love the header image, and that color scheme! Do you plan to add more links onto the navigation bar?

    The forum is magnificent! You have a forum for every thing, and although they are not completely filled, they are there - and once you get a nice flow of members with each disorder, they'll begin to post.

    I think you've done a great job. Bryce, don't lose hope. In fact, now will be a nice time to affiliate with Peggy's site!
