    Ok. So I'm not going to play the starving artist admin card here or anything. I've long been an active member of several forums, most sports related and a few political related, so I decided to try my own out. My motive was that I've always thought that people went about political websites the wrong way. I have opinions but I'm working with a few people who have differing opinions so we are going to use the blog section as kind of a 3-headed argument on important stories. I've never really done much web design before (I provide content not color lol) so this is kind of a learning experience for me. I saw this forum here and it just looked like a good idea to pick all of the brains you have for knowledge.

    I have vbulletin (4.1) and the generic style right now. I'm actually playing with the layout a little bit and have put out an offer for a custom skin etc. I will use the CMS and the blog functions heavily as well so I am really waiting to built some content before I make a big push for traffic/users. I've got a few ideas that I think make my site a little different from most, not exactly sure where I should get your opinions but anyways. Hi!

    Thanks Brandon. I was wondering where people get good vbulletin customization done? I don't want one of the same ones that everyone has, I want something that stands out, but is comfortable. Any suggestions? I haven't given out the name yet because, to be honest, its just not ready for prime time. Its not even ready for part time yet.

    Mike

    Thanks guys for the welcome. Sorry, I've been trying to get things set the way I wanted on my site. I'm building content now and then I guess users... Finally, the hard part! LOL.
