Maybe you saw it, maybe not. To be honest, there isn't much to see. There is a new talkvegas.com home page. The way it happened is that talkvegas was on an old outdated web hosting plan that was selected before the economic downturn. I found that I could get better performance and 10 times more storage space at 25% of the cost by switching to a plan that included WordPress. WordPress is a "web log" or "blog" program that I have no experience with. I did manage to put together a home page with a few links to get here to the BB.

I'm trying to think of ways to utilize WordPress. I'm gonna try and put the listing for hotels, car rental, etc on there. I don't really want to post my Las Vegas experiences on there as that would take away from the BB. And I prefer discussions over me just posting info. If I just posted info, that's pretty much what a blog is…I think. I could post some pictures on it. There are a lot of possibilities but I don't have any direction I'm going at this time.

I'm sure the Home page will change a lot in coming months. Until I find a clear direction for it, if you just want to go to the BB, follow this link and bookmark it.

Thanks for your patience.

BTW the new front page looks professional!

I have decided that I will post the news on the Home Page for now. In the past, people have commented on bits that would have made great conversation but got lost in the next weeks news. And I'm not going to start 25 new topics a week. Comments are turned off on the home page, so bring your comments to the BB. So if you see something in the news you want to comment on, feel free to start a new subject in the appropriate forum. It's free, you know.

Also, for those who elect to receive from TalkVegas but not give back or if you want the convenience of having it whenever/wherever you are, you can subscribe to RSS news feeds of the Home Page and get the news delivered to your desktop and/or mobile device.

Just a thought, and thats all it is.
I find too confusing to give directions to the BB.
Could you put a tab on the front page that goes directly to the BB or maybe reword the "about talkvegas" I never click on those because it's always BS. From the look from the front page now, it looks as though there is no BB. Unless thats the plan, because of less interest?

There was always a link on the right sidebar near the top, between the RSS links and the calendar.

I changed the name of the about tab.

No, there is no plan to cut back the BB. Just the opposite. Not only do I want existing members to post, but new members to feel welcome.

Any/all suggestions welcome.

JMT, Good going! It's looking great and in particular I like the weekly LV news update on the front page.

Any possibility of ever adding photographs?

Yes will, I think I can do that.

Thank you,
Btw, I like your weekly news posts on the front page too!
