How 'bout links at the top of the discussion board pages for the main page (home) and the calendar page. I'm just lazy, I know.

Here's what I do... make TwinCitiesBlues.com your first site you go to which has links to the gig calendar and discussion board. I swore to myself that if this site became like other sites where visitor's only go to your discussion board and gig calendar that I would shut the doors. Damn.
A few comments about this site have been that people don't see things posted on the front page because when I update daily it pushes posts down to the bottom and most of the visitors to this site only spend 2.34 minutes on the site which shows they are not seeing all the content on this site.
Anywho... I will work on seeing about adding links as you suggested, but why not just hit TwinCitiesBlues.com as your main portal into this site. It makes keeping a fresh front page worth while.
