I love the Ask Trader Dan and Ask Bobbie ideas. I want to see more with the “characters” on the site. You guys should make an actual fortune telling page where Bobbie tells my future. I want some good stock tips!
I want to invite friends to come to the tradin post from the outside- I would like a link that I can insert an email address in and it will send an invite to someone to join in – is this out there?
We are excited to launch our Guest Blogger program in January. Visit our Guest Blogger sign up and information page.
Trader Dan loves telling and listening to stories and learning about people and the world. Some folks call this a blog, or questions and answers, or a forum. Trader Dan is old fashioned and thinks of it as folks talking and having a good time.
Post anything. Talk about work, life, or play. Get and give advice and tips. This is a trading post so feel free to promote yourself, projects, or your business.
You need a SPOT to post new discussions on the community blog and comment on other people's posts.
The only real rules are don't spam or go around being rude for the sake of being rude. These things tend to peeve Trader Dan no end. But if you want to know more visit our policy page.

Thanks for all your input. Though most people seem into the characters, we have been asked why we don’t just put SEARCH in the masthead instead of ASK BOBBIE. Is it more confusing until you click on it? Sure. Is it more fun? Yes. And well Trader Dan could ask us to build a shopping cart just like any other site, and we could be all “corporate”, but where is the fun in that? Life is serious enough without intentionally not doing anything about it.
And yes, as soon as we figure out how to harness Bobbie’s full powers in the digital realm, we will get you your fortune telling page.
For now, we’re more concerned with improving the basic search and all the other “useful” features on the site. But expect more to come!
