My Best 2 U,

Thanks LindaC,

We want the Seed Zine to be practical. useful and valuable. So we're going to focus in on a few targeted concepts...but we may start out with a wider variety and then hone in on what the readers want.

I've gotten a few good ideas via email for some general Sow Pub improvements and I'll pass those along to Dien. Thanks everyone who sent your ideas in.

Exciting times. A new president. A new year. A new Seed Zine. YEA.

Hi, Gordon - Best for 2009

I'm looking forward to the seedzine - did I "hear" you say Dien's considering updating SOWPUB?? - er, my only (and very minor suggestion) is to add a redirect for those folks who type in http://www.sowpub.com/forums and end up at a blank page instead of

http://www.sowpub.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2

The truth is, I always come here directly rather than looking at the front page of the site - except when I'm away from my own 'puter and can't remember the url.

Hmm, makes me think that your main navigation menu might be incorporated into your vbulletin template

Thanks Margaret,

We'll keep that in mind. It may be more about the look, to bring it up to the 2009 standard...and the SeedZine...it could be very basic and simple...which we all like...

OR, it could be a portal into more meat and potatoes. We'll probably be in "Beta" test through February.

Looking forward to the seedzine...where do we sign up?

If you want to improve the appearance and function of sowpub, might I suggest that it be more user-friendly as in not having to scroll through tons of ads and google B.S. to get to the first post? Entrepreneurs are BUSY people and, if one checks in here several times to follow a thread in hopes of some answers or whatever, it gets to be a huge time waster.

I like the current message format and appreciate not having a bunch of screaming icons and flashing things in my face. What those things do to those of us with astigmatism or other visual problems isn't printable here! I avoid them like the plague they are.

Along the same lines, anything that follows me down the page sends me away very quickly...too aggravating for words!

Hope something here is helpful. I enjoy coming here and even participating when I have something to say.

Best wishes,
Sandi Bowman
