A repeated request

Improvements require communication. D^Geek keeps saying this, but nobody seems to understand that the format for contributing at MyDLL URTH just works. There is nothing complicated about adding a post in groups, in forums, on the front page, or as an independent page.
So what is the perceived "difficulty" ? Apparently, we need specifics. Just what is missing?
There are more than two dozen members of this site and only one contributor. In fact, of the many members, only three members *ever* visit aside from anonymously. What is the problem? Is there nothing to say that D^Geek is not saying?
References to undefined inconveniences are impossible to facilitate. Be an activist. Define the better wyrld.
I've not been able to create
I've not been able to create any kind of content on my own. I'm really glad this was put here, I can create a blog of my own, but outside of that, I haven't the ability to post a single other type of content. Not sure if this is by design, or maybe a permission overlooked.
Permission overlooked
Permissions are a bit chaotic from recent reconfigurations. However, your permissions are intact at http://blog.mydllurth.com … perhaps you tried the wrong host?
Participation
there are 50 or so regular viewers at LSNet and only a handful contribute. I "belong" to perhaps one hundred sites and contribute rarely to any but LSNet. We don't even contribute much to each other's sites.
What incentive will it take?
You mention incentive
Certainly, nothing compels participation more with our site than with some other sites. What might provoke participation at (say) Yahoo Groups or, for the sake of vision, at MySpace? Are moments of fame more real elsewhere?
We certainly are not movie stars, but by the same token, neither are we Gorgons. We haven't gold for our charities, but we have greater values to to endow.
