Marybeth, I also suggested that we allow for "guest" sign-ins. For example, anyone who is not a member could simply log in with the username "guest" and the password "password," and they would be able to read the entire site (although not post). So it would be easy for people to check us out before deciding to register.
The home page could say who and what we are, invite people to check us out as a guest, etc.
I hardly think it's elitist not to publish our unpublished work to the world until we are ready to do so, and on our own terms, any more than I think it's elitist to close my blinds to keep passers-by on the street from looking in the window. If people want to see me, let them ring my bell.
