I have to agree with you Cal.

I think thhat webmasters just see this huge pile of plugins (I am guity myself) and just install everything that they do not need. Dolphin sites do need to be instantly engaging. I have no splash screen and would never dream of such a thing. I have allso removed anythin from my site that does not add genuine value to the user or detracts in any way from the core idea of the site.


I have also drastically simplified the navigation and use of the site to make it see more as "One Click" as possible. I do think that at some point someone using dolphin is going to hit the jackpot, but not for a long while and not before all these and more lessons have been learned.

I would be happy to join any video confenece or debate on the issues discussed in this post. Too many sites struggle to 300 members and then die a sudden death....
