    Hi everybody!

    I developed a blog hosting site that uses Facebook's API to give blog post better exposure into facebook. Well, it has been up for about 2 months, and I have been averaging about 20-40 uniques a day.

    So far, no one has written any articles. It is free to post, all you have to do is login by clicking the Facebook login picture. No one has logged into try this out.

    My biggest concern here is that with a quick glance, it is difficult to tell what the site is about, or its functionality. I'm looking for a little design advice to get people to start logging in, and writing blogs. Any ideas?

    Maybe it are the ads that directly pop up at the top left. The whole site is blue, which makes it look dull. Try something more inviting!

    Well, it is supposed to resemble facebook, since there is strong facebook integration with the site. Unfortunately I am not a design guru. You think orange would look good with the site? hmmm

    I agree though, it does look a bit, 'blah' though. I am not sure how to spice it up though.
