COMMENTS ON THE SITE

Advertising

As a possible future way of funding the site should we include a SEPARATE list of corporate supporters and, perhaps, even their ads? We could encourage our users to look at and buy things from our supporters. Might we eventually want to include paid personal ads on a section of the site, as a way of funding it?

Content on Site

Does the Contents entry and the Search function work well in informing you of the content already on OutHistory.org? Are there other or better ways we can inform users of the interesting content on the site?

Functionality of the Site

Are there ways to improve the functioning of the site?

Graphic Design of Site

Are there ways to improve the graphic design of the site?

Images

Are there ways to find more free images to add to entries on the site?

Participation

Are there ways to encourage users to participate in creating the site?

Publicity

Are there ways to publicize the site?

Social Networking

Do we eventually want to provide a social networking section to help people interested in particular subjects contact each other?

Teachers

Are there ways to encourage teachers to use the site as a teaching tool?

I want to erase some of the previous old instructions under Comment. How do I do that? How to have more space between different comments?
