Reviews and Suggestions for my website?

I recently started a new forum and blog, both under the same domain. I used phpBB for the forum and Wordpress for the blog. Once they were both installed, I bridged them with a plugin so a single login works for both the forum and the blog. Could you guys review and provide suggestions for my site? I accept all constructive criticism. I'm just an average Joe... not a professional designer or web guru and I'm still working on the SEO aspects. The addresses to my pages are the two links in my signature. Thanks in advance.

    Not a bad site. The blog looks good, but needs a good call to action to a list. That's where all your money is going to come from.

    Another thing to consider, it's quite dishonest, but maybe create some fake listings on your site to fill it up with activity.

    When people see an inactive forum, they immediately leave. It's sad, but nowadays the only way to get real people onto a forum is to start with a fake one, at least until people start signing up to participate actively.

      Thank you for the suggestions Cataclysm. What kind of "call to action" do you specifically recommend? I kinda understand what the term means but I'm not sure how or where to implement it on my site.

    I think I know what you mean... I need a good CTA to get users to directly engage with the site. Like "Join Our Forum" - "List Your Guitar For Sale" etc... Is this what you meant?
