I've never done any sort of blogging before, but the forum looks really nice.

Are you going to sign up? Even if you don't blog I would really appreciate it if you signed up and made a few threads.

I may devote some of my time to it a little later, yes.

That would be brilliant, thank you!

Another newly created forum with a bit too many sections though in my opinion. Try reducing some and starting from therre

Finally, someone decided to make a blogging forum. Few too many categories, however. Not a bad theme.

Not for starting out, no. Definitely don't start off too many sections when you first begin. Things can be expanded as you advance your community. You couldn't comprehend how many sites (basically all forums since that's a popular thing for members to make) that have failed because they start with too many forum areas. I've seen countless forums fail and eventually die off because of it.

I have always done this with forums I made in the past, but failed epically. I have tried to keep the amount of forums to a minimum and all the ones I have at the moment are all blog relative and kinda needed. Any ideas which ones I could remove?

Aren't these virtually the same thing? Discussion about software can go in one forum instead of two.

- Blog software discussion
- Blogging software

I would remove the graphics section as well, or at least make them invisible to everyone until you find some people posting graphics and the other sections increase in popularity a bit more. It's a bloggers place, and although some bloggers like graphics, it's not everything and could go in Blogger appearance for example for the time being.

Blog owners lounge - Don't think it's needed, if someone joins your forum, potentially 95% of all the users are bloggers anyway, or will eventually be one. Otherwise they wouldn't have joined. This kind of stuff could go in Other blog discussion, as well as all the other categories you have because if they are a blog owner, they are going to be posting in the categorized blogging sections you have anyways.

That's just a start though, a quick look I took at the sections you had.
