I will add a donation button maybe later this evening. I do not think it would be a good idea to show who has donated or how much and it is by no means a must for any one to use the forum or activity area.
One of my plans is to add my own hosting services from my hosting website and hopefully I will get a few sign up’s by passing visitors. You will know when this is ready by the hosting button appearing in the site menu. I have to link and sync the sites to do that and it’s safe to say it’s not just a case of adding a buy now button. 🙁
I am working on some more ideas but as said, if your just visiting the forum you will not know they are there. One thing I do not want on this site is ads from outside services and so that is not going to happen anytime soon. :negative:
As for the woodwork, it’s been about 2 years since I did any. I have been to busy committing my time to building my business the best I can on a low budget. This is also why I have been quiet on MM. Not because I have fallen out with the place but spending so much time at the PC or Laptop gets on my wick and it is just good to sit down and chill with as much football I can get, be it Radio or TV.
No one on the forum knows “I Think” apart from @sgb101 that for the past 7 maybe 8 years I am more or less a full time carer for my grandparent and so getting my business out there is priority for me. Granted I get some carers allowance but it’s shite in the grand scheme of things. I don’t sign on and never have had apart from a brief week where I visited the Job Centre and was surrounded by “I’ll leave that to your imagination” but never again, it’s not for me. Getting a business loan or start up loan as been a no go for various reasons and not having work on for the past 2 months crimbo is going to be none existent. I’m not fussed though, I’ve got my Chewey to cheer me up @chewey “Yes my cat is a member” and I’ll be playing with this place, tweaking here and there.
The reason I am telling you all this now may give you some, let’s say clues to what I do when I am doing it here, such as adding hosting and any other new ideas I come up with. Obviously the more that visit the better al round.
The forum and the site are a solid platform but there are features I want to add over time and eventually some nice articles done by pro’s as budget allows and to try and fill in some holes that MM will leave.
All I can say for now is let’s just see how it goes. I’ll be putting up some sharing buttons so people can share the site with others etc…
I do keep adding new features you may not have noticed and I have quickly pulled them down due to speed and performance of the site. I have also found that the site slows down a lot when I am tweaking things so I have been doing it the past week through the night and then waiting for the complaints the next day 😉 but not that many so far. My main focus over next few days is cleaning up and making presentable.
On other note I would like to add is that this site needs updating at least once a week and I will schedule a time to do that, no doubt before anyone gets up in the morning.
I think that’s it for now. Enjoy! Oh, and any ideas you have just let me know and I’ll try and accommodate them.
