I'm not sure where to start...Are there any programs like blogspot that will walk you through the process of assembling one? Any advice regarding server space and bandwith?I would like to do a gossip/message board for folks in my industry...When it finally launches, try not to cross-pollinate when SoulStrut is down, please.

    if you want to create a free one just hit up http://www.ezboard.com/, they'll walk you through it. but be forewarned, you're gonna have to deal with a ton of pop ups, banners, etc.

    if you want to create some real shit, get a server with mysql and check http://www.phpbb.com/, which is a little more of a confusing set up, but just takes some patience.

    I will give you a much nicer tagline, J*ff...Something to do with 'rapid onset of action,' or 'treatment-related adverse event....' Don't worry, it will be hot.

    The real question is, are you going to adopt some sort of spiced-up version of coselmed (coselmed plus, if you will) that will be more outspoken with considerably more "fuck me" eyes cast at wayward lurkers on this new message board?

    and will faux_p[/b]ills follow you there, as you followed him here? i am seeing all sorts of new frontiers in your relationship...


    thread ideas:[/b]
    "What does your significant other cook for you?"
    "Health-facts for Ramen eaters"
    "Does your significant other like your friends?"
    "I got a sunburn on the yacht this weekend -- OUCH!"

    God, I wish I could give this thread 5 stars.

    But this might be more appropriate:

    If I could pick one person from SoulStrut to be on Coselmed's board, I would want it to be THE_Mack.
