on 4/1/2009 Hi ruf1950, Thanks for the comment. The features I was referring to are the actual steps. Some programs will not offer any type of payment subscription for example, thus leaving a "newbie" out in the cold. Hopefully, for someone who wants to start this type of site will get the "basics" from my post. Although, I didn't plan on doing a follow up, if I get more comments on this post, I would have to come out of early retirement : )Thanks again

on 3/24/2009 A bit vague. In step 1, I have no idea what you mean by "some of these features". WHAT features? Will you get to the "how-to" part in a later effort? Excellent teaser although far too basic. I'd want more meat.
