I don't even know where to start. I am so technically challenged. I can build a site with weebly, webs.com, but my question is will they be able to hold all the data. It seems like such a stupid question, but I just don't understand this stuff. I have been doing fine with articles, blogs and squidoo, but I have over 200 people wanting to follow me to my site and a forum.

This forum could be really big. I would hate for it to just poof one day because I set it up all wrong.

Any thoughts would be appreciated very much.

Clueless.......

Take things slowly. Rome was not built in one day.

Set daily goals and you can have a forum too.

I have 4 days. A very big site is closing and there are hundreds of posters with no where to go. They want to stay together and they seem to have blind faith that I can do it. Ideas?

Hi Robin,

Do you still have your SBI site? If so, is the group/forum related to that site niche at all? If so, you can use InfinitIt to add a forum to your SBI site as a subdomain. There's a section in the SBI forum about how to do it.

Hope that helps.
Blessings,
Angie

-Buy a domain name that fits with the type of forum you are building.(cost = $10)

-get a hosting account(cost + $10/month)

-there are wordpress plug-ins available that allow you install and set-up a membership site/ forum with just a few clicks.

The most important thing is that you 100% control it with your OWN domain and hosting.

I hope this helps. Good Luck!

-Mike
