Here is the first draft for the new Place an Ad process... I have condensed the current 3 intial steps onto one page... What do you think?

I am currently looking to improve the 'Place an Ad' process to make it straight forward and less complicated. Below are a few suggestions of what I may remove etc. Your input, advice and thoughts would be extremely helpful...

The traffic on Wightbay has grown excessively over the last year. Above shows a direct comparison to the Isle of Wight County Press, iwight.com, iwbeacon.com, ventnorblog.com.

I have finally got myself on Twitter... http://twitter.com/JodieOliver
I down loaded TweetDeck and now I am hooked.

Great News!! All testing is complete we are moving Wightbay to a bigger and better server. This will improve the speed of the site and stop the down time. This is due to be switched first thing Friday morning.

We had to do this due to the increased traffic levels we are now getting. Wightbay is more popular than ever with over 70,000 visits each week.

It’s been a really hectic start to the new year as usual, not even had a minute to update the blog!

Great news for the start of 2009... Wightbay is getting more and more popular and last week saw us break new records for the number of visitors (nearly 62,000 visitors in just one week!).
Most the island must be surfing the site every week.

I have made some changes today to help us make some money to keep this great community site running smoothly. We’ve introduced a very small fee of just £3 for all motors listings. The extra revenue we hope to generate will help us cover the increasing costs that come with being such a popular free site (web servers, technical development, moderation etc etc!). Everything else is still free, so if you need a bit of extra cash to start the new year, start placing your ads now!
