Make The Site A Better Place

Hey everyone..

I just want to get peoples' input on how to make LITD a better, more welcoming community. There has been a comment or two about our site not being very welcoming, and I'm trying to fix that so that we can appeal to more people and help them out. Are there any updates you'd like to see? Any new threads? I'm hoping to post some grounding techniques etc soon, but unfortunately with school etc, I haven't gotten around to it.

Let me know what you guys think!

I've thought about having a brighter theme be the default theme, but being more attracted to darker colours, it makes it harder for me to choose a brighter theme. Maybe some of you have ideas?

I'll see what I can come up with. It's just very hard to find a theme recently.

Erm, honestly there's a heck of a lot about a lot of the "heavier" mental illnesses, and occasionally I feel like a dork for posting about my anxiety. I dunno, that might have something to do with it.

Maybe we should have a welcome page?

As for the bright colors idea, I have bunnies as mine. With the darker colors, it just feel ominous, with the bunnies, people who occasionally look over my should don't tend to think the site is about mental health. If you need help with bright colors, I'm very bright, so yeah!

You shouldn't feel like a dork for posting about your anxeity, as there's a whole section on it. Yes, there are a lot of heavier topics, but we posted sections for the most common issues. If we sub-sectioned them into "Heavy mental health topics" and "light mental health topics" then I fear that some might be offended of the location of those that apply to them.

a little late on the theme thing, but maybe something blue and orange? Those colours seem to be very appealing together and rather happy
