Wish your blog was a forum? I do
On August 14, 2008 in Blog Improvements, DailyJ Mission
If I could do it all over again with DailyJ I don’t think I would change a thing (except for my 4 month disappearing act).
Interviewing all kinds of interesting J-bloggers, having fun conversations, having the chance to share ideas, and spreading awareness that we are part of a Japan-related web - it has been great.
But I guess I would change one thing…
The blog.
The bad part about blogging is that at the end of the day it is you, alone.
Sure there are commenters and others around. But they can only interact with the site so much. They don’t have much control and input.
*Sigh*
I want a forum…
So add one, what’s the problem?
You’ve got BBpress which is very compatible with wordpress, and you’ve got great forum software like phpBB or SMF. it’s very easy now days. The problem is that you still would need to work in order to get some attention from readers to participate in the forum.
