Some cool tips for success!

Keep an open mind and be persistent and you'll always find free help online for whatever you're looking for! Here is a link to a manual for creating a successful website - I've read 25 pages of it so far and I have to say I think it has some really excellent ideas!

In fact, because of it I redesigned the look of Chatblog - to make it appear more like Google, Yahoo, and Ebay - one thing I noticed they all had in common are colors (Red, Yellowish-orange, Blue) and light blue page dividers and not much text.

Check out the original Chatblog home page look:

and then compare it to the new look:

Quite a transformation just from making a few simple changes, huh? It really does make sense to keep the details to a minimal on the homepage and then provide the info the users need on the FAQ so they can glance at the site and get the concept and then if they want the details they just click on FAQ - and if they want to just sign up they don't have to go through all the rigamarole - just click on the "sign up" - which has the terms of service link on it! GROOOOOVY! :)
