Re: Well, it's finally closing

Tina and Dodie,
 
I couldn't agree with you more.  Some blogs work in a way that people can interact, much like a message board.  However, I don't see that with this one.  I'm also sad that they shifted from difficult format to blog in 2 seconds flat.  In the original format, we all used to post a lot more.  Then the board changed, took forever to load, etc, and people either couldn't post or couldn't be bothered to post...  On principal, I am going to avoid iConnect.  I'll stick with the VI and Special Needs Kids boards.  Of course, I'll stick with this yahoo group as well -- 'cos real people post here. :)
 
Have joy!
 
Dawn

I haven't been to the I-Village page in a long time. My main reasons for not logging in were that it loads really slow on my dial-up connection. Then when it...

Well, I finally checked out iVillage "Connect." It is very "busy" and rather counterintuitive for navigating (as is typical of iVillage functions). The blog...

I seldom visit the iVillage board any more either.  This is ever so much better and easier to use, in my opinion.  I really think that the navigation issues...

It seems to me that they are really shooting themselves in the foot, so to speak. They have discouraged people from coming to the site by making it more...
