Journal of a Hypochondriac

We're Back!

2007-06-04T22:22:00.000-04:00

Yeah, I know it's been quite some time since I've published anything to the blog, but now I'm back. If you've been to the forum over the last few days you've probably noticed a lot of changes and upgrades. Ideally these changes will not only make the forum more user friendly, but will also increase the security. Hoping to make a lot of updates and additions to the main site as well over the coming weeks. Stay tuned and let me know if you have any suggestions.

1000th Unique Visitor

Well, the site's been live for 34 days now and we've just recieved our 1000th unique visitor! Looks like the hypochondria forum is also starting to pick up a little bit of steam after a few very slow weeks. Also new since the last post is the section on common diseases. There is only a few there so far (multiple sclerosis, fibromylagia, diabetes, etc.) but this section will grow as suggestions and ideas are recieved! I know that I'm still having a few graphics issues with some of the hyperlink bars but I can't seem to figure out what the problem is- I'd definately welcome any help or suggestions with this!

Welcome

Welcome to my new webpage. I have been wanting to put together a site for hypochondriacs for quite some time now but haven't had much time to get anything together. As I develop this website furthere, I'd really love any feedback you could give me on what features you would like to see here.

Update

Well, I've spent a bunch of time on the site this week even though I haven't gotten a chance to add much content. I've added a personal journal section in the forum and completely redesigned the look of the forum. Also, I've done some tweaking with the main page so that it will fit on lower resolution browsers- still need to do this on the other pages.

The site is now up to about 50 unique visitors per day (not too bad for a site that's only 2 weeks old). The forum membership has doubled again to 8 users. I also have put a new logo (see above) on the forum page and am considering changing the logo on the main page- please let me know what you think about this idea.

That's pretty much it for now. Oh yah, we are now listed on MSN as well, so that's all of the major search engines- now just need to get the page rank up.

First Forum Members

The forum membership has doubled in the last day (ok, ok from 2 to 4, but at this rate we'll have millions of members by June). I'd also like to offer my thanks to Cheryl for being the first new member to post in the forum! My goal is to have this forum be the most active on the net for the hypochondriac community.

Listed on Google!

I'm probably way more excited about this thn I should be, but the site was just listed on Google. Less than a week after going online, not too bad. Although just about the only way you can find the site on Google now is to search for "thehypochondraic.com" but at least it is a start. We have already been listed on Yahoo and Accoona for several days now...still waiting on MSN though.

Forum now online!

I'm actually very excited that I was able to get the forum online so quickly. I was having visions of this thing requiring weeks of my time to get up and running, but success seems to have come much sooner. Please check out the forum if you haven't already and as always, I'd love any suggestions you can offer to help make this site better.
