Sean,

I've found it VERY easy to receive testimonials by adding a testimonial submission box to the main screen after members login to my sites. I get way more testimonials this way than I ever actually use. Within the first week of one launch, I received 20 testimonials with photos. Of course, if you have no scripting experience, you'll need someone to write the script for you (or buy a premade one), but it works for me very well. Testimonials are no longer a problem for me.
