Four votes, huh? That's a far cry from the over seventy I get at AE every day, but dem's the breaks when you don't update your blog in over a month. But I'll take it seeing as I started to lean toward the final option anyway (it was the poll winner, for the record) and I'm tremendously impatient. So expect a new layout around here some time in the next little while.

Other than that I've been contemplating ways to drum up both site traffic in general as well as forum participation. The latter I'm thinking of accomplishing by holding some kind of event on the forum. Incentive-type stuff, you know? So once I go over it a few times in my head to make sure I don't get in over my head or anything, I'll mention that both here and on the AE site.

As for the former, I'll probably roll out another wave of advertising (mainly for AE, because it seems to give off a better first impression than CRB, especially given that CRB's updates have become remarkably tortoise-like as of late). But as always, if any of you out there have any ideas on getting either or both of the sites more attention, I'd love to hear it. Heck, I don't even have to hear it, you can just go ahead and do it if you want. If CRB and AE (man, I've gotta come up with a collective term for my sites) do well, it's good for everyone. Readers get "I liked it before it was cool" bragging rights and should they ever be popular enough to make me an income off of them, well that just means I have more time to focus on and make more content for them.

But anyway, first thing's first. I'm trying to charge some life back into CRB as you may have noticed and I'm not done yet, so on top of everything else, keep an eye out for more CRB updates.
