Carpool to Burning Man Festival

On the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock, let the spirit of Freedom and Love perpetuate. On request of a well wisher  R. Jewell <rjewell40@yah…> I have added Burning Man Festival, NV and Black Rock Desert, NV in the city names for making a post.  Easy!!
Previously Gerlach, NV 89412 was the closest city to the Burning Man Festival.

Better Post Page

Following your feedback on the poor design of the carpool ride post form, I think, I might have come up with an elegant solution.  One single page will now do the job of what was being done on four pages. (keep the users focused and interested). Once the new page is deployed, it would be interesting to see if I can quantify the improvement. Here is the screen shot, as many of you had requested.

July Winner: NYC, NY

As promised, here are final statistics for site visitors for the month of July and the winner (Hands down) is New York City, NY. The 1st and 2nd runner up were San Francisco, CA and Portland OR. Traffic from New York was 1.5x that from the next City!

But in terms of posts made by users (PBU), California still leads the way. As a thank you for the kind folks from the Big Apple, I will run a feature on New York this month, so keep following. Suggestion to what you would like to see are most welcome.
