Then, when I was done looking at the 'Favorites' tab, it took me a second to figure out I had to go to the left section of the top bar on the other side of the search box and click on the title to get back to where I was when I began. I was expecting there to be a way to go back to the front page in the group of links to the right of the search box.
Other than that, my first impression is good- it looks classy, as it should considering the subject matter.
Darren Rowse (www.problogger.net) has tons of resources and tuts to get more users. It's really worth looking into.
I've been working hard to build up my UK wedding directory too and launched in Jan this year. I have to say most of my traction has been through Twitter, though I did get a lot of early e-mail registrations that I'm yet to target so hopefully they will result in users too.
Are you aiming to attract the brides & grooms-to-be first or the wedding vendors?
It's the age old chicken/egg scenario when building a community!
Think about what it is you can offer to encourage people to invite others.
But apart from that I like the way it looks.
