A new community for webmasters?


My Website

I have a small website. The space is provided by my Internet Service provider. It's only 15 Mb and I do my best with the small amount of space I have. the address or URL is:

http://www.mike10613.talktalk.net

I hope you will visit and bear in my mind that I'm still learning. But I have plans for something bigger. I want to help other people do the same as I have. I've seen pages that people have done on Myspace, Bebo and similar sites - and they can have lots of pages instead of just one page. But they want to belong to a community.

The community

So I want to set up a site that will link all these small sites togther to form a community. Members will get visitors or traffic from the main site and from friends they have made. Communication between members can be with Instant messenging programs or even Voice over IP now. So it will be a great little community of webmasters who are just starting out. It will allow them to keep most of the money from the advertising on their web sites. I will ask for just two advertisements for me. One advertisement to advertise the main site to make it a community and an advertisement for the company providing the web space. The money from the latter advertisement will go in to an account to pay for web space next year and hopefully the community will grow.

Free space

Anyone who doesn't have space or not enough space. I hope to allow them to have free space as a subdomain of the main site. I also intend to have FrontPage extensions enabled on the server and this will make things easier for many people. I've found Frontpage to be the easiest web design program to use so far. It also helps you learn HTML as you paste in HTML for adsense and other things. I hope people will be able to earn a little money from advertising. Some people in some countries may be able to earn lots of money. It depends on the cost of living in your country. $100 in a poor country is a lot of money. In a rich country it fills the gasoline tank on your car!

Art

I want to add a picture to see how it comes out. I'm doing this beta thing for the first time and so I have to try everything! I have a 3D art gallery on my computer and even run a jigsaw and Art group on Yahoo groups. You can turn any picture in to a jigsaw and when you've finished it the finished picture is displayed in your personal 3D art gallery. You can go to my website - send me an email and ask for a jigsaw. My picture seems to have been added, but in the wrong place! At the top instead of the bottom. But hopefully the blog won't look too bad when published.



Interested?

If you are interested in my idea for a small community of amateur webmasters, please go to my website and find my email address at the bottom of the page and email me to express an interest. The free space I will have to give away will be limited and so if you express an interest now - your name will be at the front of the queue! You can also check out getting free space from Google if you have a gmail account. It appears you get 100 Mb free and are allowed to put adsense on it.
