I'm with Chops. Literally nobody cares about cars where I work. Most of my friends there are either old farts that can barely email, or pseudo-hipster :millennials: that would rather snapchat dickpics to each other all day.

Outside there, my friends are mostly into cycling stuff, basically none would be forum people.
New ladyboner thread may change things a bit for me

Someday we will even be able to purchase goods on the computer and have them delivered to our front door the very same week!

That's exactly what we need.

I think there could be something here. A number of members are solid writers...really just turn novel forum posts into blog posts with a bit of editing.

Exactly. Also we really aren't a car forum though it's how we met.

I think that's what makes us cool...or what makes us stay. We're not just 100% cars. It's finance, pinshit, houses, family, etc, etc.

He would be a solid contributor. He just doesn't have thick enough skin to last here.

So how do we do the blog thing? DFD front page is the blog? We submit a monthly to Jalopy?

The DFD homepage is wordpress...which is an excellent blog platform. So it's just a matter of getting content going on the homepage. You'd want to get a solid foundation going, then start working with bigger sites to get link shares to start.
