Might have started on the site today but been feeling a bit tired and groggy.. Plus extremely lazy Just wanna see what they have to offer Hostgator, I want unlimited MySQL databases too really.. Though just having Wordpress might be good enough So what would make a good site then, anything people would like to see?. If you could change NLL in anyway, how would you do it? what features would you like to see. I know this forum can be integrated easy enough Another thing that I've just thought of, it's not that important really, but it was good when people could put videos on their profile page. I don't know why Jim took that away, it was a good feature and wasn't any work for him. |

I've been thinking about the name. What I reckon is that instead of a name like No Longer Lonely, which is emphasing getting rid of something bad, i.e. the loneliness, we should have a name that emphasises the good thing that people will gain by joining, i.e. friends. So maybe the name should have Friends in it, and perhaps make reference to the fact that people on the site are similar to them and understanding about their situation.

Agree, makes sense was thinking along them lines myself. Finding the best web host price per performance is virtually impossible I like to add as the level of cynicism in the industry is unreal. In what way? where do I start lol. The reviews you cannot rely on them or any site that is dedicated to reviewing them as they are either praising their own services or are given incentives by said companies to rate their own highly... It's as clear as day and also annoys the absolute bleep out of me lol They don't even bother to hide these affiliations really, as one such site I looked at that said HostGator are the best also have a discount code for them.. Doesn't take a genius to work that out does it lol Plus the hidden features that they fail to mention always bump the price up tenfold. They purposely separate everything on individual pages or then on the checkout say hey what about this, you'll be needing this Mr. It's in order to confuse and con people, instead they should have everything clearly stated from the get go on one simple page, as if they would. It's because they are competing with one another that this crap goes doon and it's very reminiscent to what you get with companies like Sky and BT when buying their packages. Rant Over  |

Just can't seem to find the header I want, looking for something not to serious but not to funny either and illustrating a community or that we're a social network. Did think something vector related but I just canni find what I want, something slightly abstract too would be nice.

So is anyone any good at writing articles? lol. I've done a load in the past about games on me previous blog but now we're talking mental health. If anyone can think of anything they know about or wanna write about, has a story to tell and willing to share then cool. If not, well why not? no lol I'm jotting a few things down. Can do news on mental health, my own take on it or our own take on it if people fancy being a blogger as well. Could do ones about games, music and films that have mental health ties, know this has been mentioned before. Watched a few myself but I've a memory like a sieve and have to watch them again. Thought of stars people in the public eye who have it and what they're up to
Anything else? oh yeah bloody chatroom lol.. I'll look into that today

Yeah probably, though I have got the bbpress plugin too. Two forums one site would seem like overkill wouldn't it lol, not looked how to do it yet.. Have to make it look a little more like the site as it's looking now
Actually just read you can't do that, can only go with one of their own hosting plans and point the forum to your existing domain. Hmm works with subdomains, not sure if I'm allowed any of them on my current plan. A link will have to do for now I think and I'll try make this look as close to the site as poss.

You can adjust the size of it, was originally to small and the colours. Quite liking the background gonna tinker a little with the bottom section. You can either have animated emoticons or ones that aren't. Post videos too as you can see and pics, links work. Plus you can upload attachments though I've not gone with zips/rars there as we know what people would likely do.   Picture and video gallery are we wanting that too?. Another thing that was cruelly taken from us We could call this the new new NLL |
