I tried to read this article but gave up because the pop-up ad took up my entire iPhone screen and scrolled when I tried to get to the 'close this window' link. Anyone have a quick work-around for this?

I've worked with wp before, not a whole lot though. Just installed 3.0 beta. My approach for sites that I don't expect much traffic/updates, has been to just code a database and CMS. Adding in features if/when the site matures. My underlying motivation for this question is that I find myself searching and reading 2/3 of the time instead of coding. I guess it's just part of the job that I have never experienced before. Quality over quantity.

I never really thought about whether or not it was actually needed. Good insight. I think I will remove the requirement to post but keep the accounts as an option for users to track their posts. I'm also working on the voting system right now.

Also, I gave the site a visual makeover. Hopefully it will be easier on the eyes now.

Thanks Travis. It seems that a visual re-design will be in my near future. A ranking system is a great idea. The idea behind the posts separation is that you can search according to the city you are in. I guess that a short paragraph at the top of the homepage or an about page would be a good addition.

Quick question. From a user standpoint, is creating an account more annoying than filling out a captcha everytime you want to post? Or should I find a way to avoid both?

Thanks, I'm mainly looking for some help on the design and usability of the site. I'll edit the original post.

I had a feeling about the orange on orange. I checked them against he WCAG and they failed but, I still kept them. That'll teach me.

I didn't think about the login button. Thanks!
