    Hi,
    I have a Green Living Article Web Resource and I was wondering how I might go about making it more sticky.

    Thanks,

    Hi, I would ad some colorful related graphics, along with some Q&As so people can create discussion, and thus return to your site.


    Good Luck!

    Maybe arrange a part of the page so that at least one article is showing, or a paragraph maybe of 5 of the articles, something that gets them reading straight away, otherwise its a page with lots of links.

    I agree, I had to scroll down to even get to the links. Maybe move the search to the side of the logo so you get more on the page. Also make the text s little smaller to lift the links.

    I have done as you suggested. Will add some graphics soon as I can get someone sighted to help me position them.

    Thanks :)

    animated windmills. If the purpose of the windmills is not the focal point of the site, please don't have them continuously stealing people's attention from the content. I want moving windmills when I'm looking for moving windmills, not when I'm trying to read.

    Alternatively, you could put a windmill animation that runs through once and then stops. all the initial joy of moving windmills, without the retinal destruction cause by looped gif animations, and leaving your site never to return again.
