Easy to view instruction links or pull down or popups with how to advice on each button and/or section would help educate new users to better post and use other features on this great site. There are some, like for the suggestions, announcements, etc. sections.

I like some of the key features this site provides. Being able to edit our own posts is invaluable after submitting a post. I also like the the public profile, control panel, and member list. I will explore how to incorporate into our weblog.

In the beginning, I had to search around to find out how to post and use this site. I eventually got around to finding out how. As you know, we internet users like it faster, quicker, easier and we want it yesterday.

Overall this site is great, I just thought I’d add a small suggestion to help us with our e-learning process on this J-Learning site and improve its user-friendliness to new users like myself.

Also when registering the link did not work directly from my e-mail site. I had to cut and paste the link into the web address bar to activate my membership. I don’t know why the link didn’t work directly from my email. But I am activated now.

Thanks for all the hard work here.  I am looking forward to bending, well probably outright twisting, people ears on various subject as I try my hand at Community Journalism.

I haven’t explored J-learning’s homepage fully yet (I’m headed there next), but one suggestion would be to post some of your articles here exclusively.  This might draw more people into the forums, help you with search engine visibility and the like, as well as promote discussions / debates related to the articles.

As a newbie I can say that site is good for us.
At least I think so.

Thanks a lot.
