I am currently getting the design worked out for the new site. It will include a main blog/news site which will be the main page. It will link to the forum, a gallery (if I can get it worked out), and a wiki. For all of you who don't know what a wiki is... It is a type of glossary/encyclopedia geared to what the site is about, which would be cameras/Nikon, and it is maintained by the members of the allnikon. For an example check out wikipedia.com
The Design is a surprise, and the main site (allnikon.com) is not currently viewable, so please bare with me. I am always up for ideas. I really want to add what the members want to see. Please reply with some ideas.
Thanks,
-Chris

It sounds like you have an actual host now. What would be nice is if these forums were actually hosted on your own server. I don't know what kind of host you have or if you have one yet. If you don't yet, go for dreamhost.com they have been the best host that I have used. At least you should create a sub-domain forums.allnikon.com and forward it to here. I was actually going to do this, but I guess its good that I didn't try just in case you had not bought the domain yet.

Yes, I have a domain. Its AllNikon.com, and I will be creating a forum.allnikon.com. I am using godaddy.com. I have been using godaddy for about 2 years, with no downtime on my other site, cavepixel.com. Its going to be a step by step process, with the blog being first, then hopefully the forum or gallery, and then the wiki. So far its been smooth with no problems. I have tested all these features on the allnikon.com site and they work. Its no just the design and execution of compiling it all, all around my day job, lol. -Chris |

Just wanted to update everyone and say that the blog is for the most part done ( www.allnikon.com). Right now it has just dummy text I took from my portfolio site to get an idea of what the text would look like. Right now I am working on the design and layout of the forum. It is coming along quite well, and I think should be layed out in a week or two. I don't think I will have posting yet on the newly designed forum, until the gallery and wiki are complete. I will send out an email when that is all ready to go. I am really excited for this, it will be a all-round great community for the Nikon/photography enthusiast again any ideas are greatly appreciated. -Chris |
