Well, I’ll be honest and say if I have to register just to browse… I move on to the next site. Maybe give a little more info on the homepage to peek a potential members interest. Like Jumpmuz asked “what’s the website about?”
Is it possible to add the links content to the activity stream instead of a text link back to the links page only, the thumbnail and all? This way when I post a new link it’s visible in both places. Just wondering.
You need to update the homepage in the WP Admin Settings this is exactly what I did for my BuddyPress site http://ipadalicious.com. Login into your admin area: Go to settings and Click on reading – and under Front page displays page. Then:
1. Select A static page (select below)
2. Then select Activity Stream in the Front page: drop down list
3. Then click save changes and you should be good to go.
