Is it a good idea to allow visitors to register on your site? Is there a danger
Posted 16 years 5 months ago
I have a site up where several people have registered since the Login applet is on the first page. I don't have anything special for registered users yet but I am thinking of adding something.
Is there any danger to allowing users to register?
Is there any benefit to allowing users to register?

There's no danger to allowing users to register.
Allowing them to register:
A) allows you to capture their e-mail address if you want to send e-mail notifications, etc. allows you to set content, Articles, Modules, and Menus to Public / Registered so unregistered see 'standard' content and in addition to 'standard' content, registered users see content for registered users.
