Website Management 102

4. Always try to keep everything simple. Especially on mod websites. These people EXPECT functionality with little effort, communication without error, and forums that are readable and accessible.

5. Flashy is ok, but its better when you can blend colors and themes together. Stark contrast is good when used in moderation. Don't try to be so original you turn people away. And better yet...don't do changes all at once. Take your time. Make it good. People don't want a bunch of functionality, themes and colors thrown at them at once. You need to feed it to 'em, ween them on it.

6. Keep your intrusions into the site minimal. You moderate and work behind the scenes. Nobody likes a pushy web moderator. Don't lord it over the modders.

Well there is more for the blog.

I gotta take my brother to Ventures and go to bed early for my job tomorrow, so until next time...
