I am new to forums and find it a lot of work with a fair share of drama. I am committed to building the best fun and educational remodeling site and to make some money from it eventually.
My site is 6 months old and is growing at an OK rate, of course I'm not sure what an OK rate is.

Remodel Crazy is the name of my blog and forum.
Good information here, I bookmarked you and will visit.
Thanks

hmm, from this i can tell that you definitly like vbulletin and the joy it brings in configuring it and managing it. Giving advice on what it takes to be a successful owner takes a successful owner at first to do it.

Hi Greg,

What did you do to say it isn't working?
It's setup with feedburner, so it should all be automatic. I'll test it out when I put out my next article, but AFAIK it works fine.
Thanks for letting me know

Thanks for the post, I been thinking of starting a forum within a niche that I currently have good stead in. The only down side I feel is the extra work its going to cause me to keep things ticking over.
