I feel it could be a great asset for the union where folks can discuss salient issues and reach out to the rank and file. I often wonder if the login process is to daunting and maybe I should eliminate the code to make it easier. Any suggestions to jump start the membership? Thanks. Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2005 6:11 am

Create enough content to assure them that joining the site will not be a wasted effort. They need to know that once they become a member they will be informed with the latest information. 2. Create incentives. Make them see that they will get extra for becoming a member, whether it's members only articles or downloads. 3. Get them involved. Use the forums to your advantage. Create topics that are not only informative but fun. Google seems to crawl the forums alot and with the right topics you can get countless visitors. 4. The rest is just to keep your site contents as fresh as possible. You can use the email activation hack in the downloads here to make it much simplier for members to join.
