Well, I've had a good look round since getting back. Things haven't changed much. No new entries. I've already ranted over at Floor42, but I'll summarise here for the uninitiated:

The success of the guide relies on lots of people accessing and contributing lots of the time - Jim has said elsewhere that the writing is the essence of this guide, and I couldn't agree more;
People will only visit if they can read new items, and only keep writing if their items are being incorporated (or rejected) reasonably quickly;
These few weeks, in the wake of the TW launch, are the best time we'll ever have to catch people. Once they go, they'll be a long time gone.

So guys, I know there's a whole lot of technical stuff to do, and I've heard the rumours that you're beefing up the editing capacity shortly, but please give us *some* new entries *soon*. By all means ignore my stuff for now - I'll keep coming anyway - but people have to think this site's alive, or it'll be buried.

If people don't have new entries to read, they'll blitz the fora - and then it'll be like a chat room, only slower. Please, don't let that happen.
