Ideas for promoting the site?

AIM profiles, signatures on other boards...

Posting flyers at school here would definitely get us a liberal crowd if it worked.

I am not a coder , but getting on to search engines is the top way to get the word out . Meta tags embedded in the coding of your site need to be used to every advantage .
Otherwise , we must mention the site to all we talk to in person and on the net , forums , chat rooms , etc. I have told a few people about the site , but none have joined that I know about yet .
I would put a link on my site , but the focus of it is not conducive to political discussions . As a matter of fact , I discourage political posts there . On second thought , I will put a mention in General Discussion on www.papawswrench.com .
