Hey guys, I'm the co-owner of PostMyRant[Dot]Com. Post My Rant . Com is a unique website which offers something no other site on the net currently can. Stress relief at your finger tips. Have something on your mind? Need to get something off your chest? By visiting our website users can rant and sound off about anything and everything; from religion, sports, politics, life, family, work, school, and more! Visitors can register for an account or login via Facebook/Twitter integrated scripts. Once logged in they can post their own rants or comment other users on theirs, discussing each others problems and building a network of support. By logging in via Facebook/Twitter this gives the site tons of exposure as the users actions (posting rants) is integrated to their Facebook Wall or Twitter Feed and their friends can see our website and their rants. The potential for this site is exponential. We have tons of stuff n mind for the future, from allowing users to upload video rants, imges, comments, testimonials and more. Unlike most testimonials we will take it further and make it FUN. Users submit a before and after picture. The before picture shows them angry/screaming/etc and the after shows them Happy/Laughing/Smiling and so on. Below the pictures there would be something along the lines off, "This was me before I discovered Post My Rant . Com, Look at Me Now! Thanks Post My Rant . Com!" This we believe, would be a very fun feature of the website! Have a look for yourself. Right now we only have filler content, but we will open it as a Beta soon and allow people to post. You can even post NOW and test out the features, categories, and voting system, simply make an account or login with Facebook and in less than a minute you can have a new rant online! http://postmyrant.com Here's a preview of what a registered user would see http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/8091/49359620.png
Omg. srry mate but it looks awfull... no design at all, i will never use this site try to make some new design, without huge elements
Thanks Rasmussen, I'm sticking with that logo, goes with the "Rant" theme. Orange, I really don't know what to make of that.
Love the concept, but Im not sure Wordpress is the best choice of platform. If it were my site, I wouldn't make users sign up either. It just looks like another blog, and Im not sure most viewers realize you expect them to sign up and post a rant. Would love to see a nice shiny link button that says "Post my rant", it should be your first priority if you're hoping people will post rants for you, no? That said, I think the concept has lots of potential (especially with social bookmarking) and I hope it works out for you!
Actually it's not Wordpress. It's Drupal. I know I should do that but currently I'm not sure how to allow guests to view that page. Thanks for the response.
I think the site could use a little work in terms of building up posts and backlinks to the site, but otherwise it looks good. I would maybe add something, such as an opt in or slogan in the header.
I'm actually aiming for simple. I want things to be one click away and the majority of the content to be on the homepage. But Yes, I do need to work on advertising it, unfortunately I have a job and not much time to do that. Thanks for the suggestions.
Not sure why so many comments about changes needing to be made to the site. I think it's well done, but I am only a Peon. Anyway, Great work!
It's great that you are using Drupal, it is the right platform for your type of website. Your website is coming up very slowly, the hosting arrangement might not be capable if and when you get some traffic. Drupal really needs a VPS and fast disk access to work well. I would make your header much smaller and move the login inline style so it takes up less vertical space as well. stick in the header possibly You want to get your tag cloud of topic keywords "above the fold" right where people can see it. Below maybe a block with the hottest posts. You might only want to show rant titles above the fold. Get lots of Headlines so there is a variety of topics as soon as someone lands on the website. If people don't see some topic of interest quickly they will leave the site. Hope those ideas help
Why sucha hughe header? On my wide screen laptop the header takes up like a 40% of the height of the first thing that I see on your site. And it's just a logo with a bunch of nothing around it. I would trim that down and elevate the relevant content as much up as possible. And you should also run YSlow on your site. You will learn much. You have a bunch of css and js files that are hosing your speed.
