Using Drupal 5.0 I managed to set up my new site within 24 hours and start posting content.
ContractorInfo.c.uk
I am using a standard theme for now (Garland), but it has a few bugs that don't seem to work too well, especially when it comes to long lines in the content having strange effects on the right side-bar.
The site provides help for small businesses (mainly 1-person companies) in the UK and help them deal with how to use their income more efficiently, tax and other issues. I know it's seems boring, but there are more rules coming up all the time and the government is trying to screw all the money they can out of us, so it is a major issue for people who are self-employed.
I am trying to get a critical mass for the number of articles (so there is enough to keep visitors and make them come back) so I can start marketing the site better, getting some revenue and sorting out the technical issues about the theme and adding more modules to get more features on the site.
I have a small hard-core of visitors who check the site regularly, but most have not registered and no one if submitting to the Forums yet. Are there any suggestions as to how to get things started? I have considered creating dummy posts of the Forums to get things going.
