Lost opportunity
Well, it has been a while since I posted. Ok, so now that you are thinking that that is the understatement of the year, I can move on. Yeah, it has been a while. While it has been some time since my last post, one thing that has not changed is my addiction to Starbucks. […]

Funny thing about forums
About eighteen months ago, I tried to purchase a forum related to one of my e-commerce sites. I had contacted the forum owner, but he was not really interested in selling, since he had created the forum for a hobby he loved. So I made a mental note to check back in a year, since […]

Online Forums
Now that the directory site is live, I thought I would move on to my next project. For the next project, I thought we should tackle a larger project and building a community fits that bill. Well before we can have a community, we will have to start with a forum. The great part about […]

So after reading my last post you are ready to create your own directory but are wondering about the costs. Well I will tell you. There are really two types of costs to a directory site. The upfront costs and the ongoing costs. The upfront cost includes things like the cost of the script and […]
