We are thinking of having a button for people to easily recommend the site to their friends. Good idea?
The thought is to have it on the home page (see other discussion starter re home page re-design).
If so, it will generate an email for them to send. We are thinking of having something like the folowing as copy, plus space to add their own message. what do you think?
Hi [name]

I just wanted to tell you about this great website for poets, writers,
performers and event organisers: www.writeoutloud.net.

Its gig guide lists poetry and live literature events all over the UK and elsewhere, mostly open-mic type events where you can read your own work.

The site is also a creative space and a online community where you can blog your work, get friendly comments and advice, have discussions, post your profile,
create your own gig calendar, announce your events, post audio and video, and read the news items on what's happening in the poetry and literature more generally.
