New threads needed!!!

Site Feedback and News

Tom started this discussion 17 years 7 months ago

There seems to be atleast enough people coming in here to be able to post some new threads, but I only see about 1-3 posts each day and to only existing topics. I would love to watch this site grow, but without people posting then this place will become stagnant and wither away. Its not something I want to see.

POST TOPICS PEOPLE.

Traffic has gradually been increasing to the site. I'm still trying to get the word out to hostels and to people. I'll do some more work on that today.

If anyone has ideas for topics for new threads I could help start the discussion threads.

I've also been trying to think of new features. Some ideas that I had:

a wiki -- which means a section of the site that any member could add pages to and edit (like Wikipedia) that would become a sort of handbook on how to start a hostel and how to run it.
a travel section of the forum -- people involved in hostels like to travel so I thought that a section about backpacker travel might be interesting... but the trial section that I added, Travel Talk, hasn't gotten much use so I wasn't sure I if should expand it yet.

If you have any ideas for new features, I'm open to suggestions.

I've just added a new feature tonight -- the ability to upload photos of hostels.

I hope that it will become a nice photo gallery showcasing hostels from around the world. Feel free to add photos of hostels if you have them.

Thats awesome! Now we have the ability to share photos. My wife has a ton. When I get some time I will start uploading some good pictures.

Thanks Hostels

Great... There are bulk-upload features on the gallery. If you have Google's Picasa program (free), I think you can bulk upload photos with that. If not, there is another free program to bulk upload photos called Galley Remote. If you need any help setting up either of those two programs let me know.

Edit: Here is a list of ways to bulk upload photos into the new hostel photo gallery:
