Looks amazing RCR! Well done in keeping the page fresh. :)
I like that you used a quote from a forum member. Since you are looking for more people to subscribe, perhaps having a testimonial page would help encourage and inspire people to join?
Just a thought :)

   Duthla, Testimonials page Hmmm?
   I testify that my lunatic is running around trying on a new life and following a super scary script! 
   It is great news that after 26 months he now says "I deserve this. It's ALL my fault."   As opposed to "Mama Bear This is all your fault!! If you loved me you would never plan a beach vacation when I like snow."    :o  Like that kinda testimonial ???   lol sorry I couldn't help it. ;)

Ha!  ;D
You're funny RCR!
I'm sure you know what I mean. Member testamonials as to how this forum has helped them so much. It's great that your "plug" is so sincere. As a "consumer", people are interested to hear what other "consumer" experiences are before signing up.
Hope you see your numbers go up UP UP and you reach your goal of publishing your book.
I'd buy it for sure!

I love it!  And I love most that your face is on the main page.  Your research and you have a unique point of view within the MLC world, which is the benefit of this site over others that might bring MLC up, but not deal with it specifically in such a deep, focused way.  I had long hoped that your branding would include YOU at the forefront to reflect that. :)

I don't know why--as I'm really not a private person--but I've always been nervous about putting my face out there! It was a few years before I put general pictures on the my story page. Though the meditation avatar on the header is me; I recreated it from a photo of me preparing for a triathlon. Chuck was sitting next to me in the photo so I cut him out! :P

Isn't that cool? I've joined a class to help me learn some more marketing for the blog--which is why I did the redesign. One of the first things was to learn about the feature box and the little testimonial was discussed. That was actually not even from the forum. Before I started the forum I did have a public contact me page and people would then send me stuff like that occasionally. I also found a bunch of similar things around the web where people were on other forum recommending my site and so I collected a bunch together and I use them in my book proposal.

And here's why I haven't yet--it's a dumb reason. :o
I hate to ask for stuff like that. ::)  Silly huh? So silly I am laughing at myself as I type this.
And one other reason: I did 8 minute abs every day for a day and I lost 30lbs...that sort of thing. Chuck was a fitness major in college an apparently they even went over testimonials in class--how they are bad. And frankly, I agree with him for what they were talking about. So we both have a bias and we have to step back and understand that a testimonial is Word of Mouth and not always or even usually bad--it's a good thing!
So I have thought of starting a page and I've been getting more serious about it for a few months. If I do, maybe the actual page will be on the blog so the testimonials will be the comments.

Hi again,

Just commenting on the testimonials thing -- I think discreet ones are best; on many other sites they "scream", and again, doing it discreetly distinguishes this site from those that promise things they can't deliver.
