Candy's Latest Experiment FAILS

Well we knew it wouldn't last long, because nothing of Candy's lasts for very long, but Candy's latest experiment, the Christian Homemaking community forum on webs.com has been removed.

And then put back.

Sort of.

Because Erik said so.

I really enjoyed having the member's area with you all, but I had to close it. It was taking up too much of my time, was a lot of work, and a lot of responsibility. It was wonderful to reconnect with you all.

I found myself chatting in the Member's Area today, while my kitchen was a mess. I was on the computer, instead of doing my homemaking duties, and I can't allow that to become a habit for me.

My responsibilities come first.

I must say, though, it was amazing running a forum and such - I never thought I would get to do that. Meanwhile, I want to let you all know that the comments on my blog are open again, at least for the time being, so you can still chat a bit there.

Also, if any of you would like to run a member's area that is a community like the one I had, here's how to do it (it's very simple to set up):

1) Go to http://www.webs.com and sign up for a free website.

2) Inside the Manage Pages section, just click on the applications button/link, and choose which apps you would like your page to have - members, forum, blog, video, photo, and even more. There are a LOT of apps you can use - I only used a few.

It's very user friendly. If any of you decide to run a community like the one I had, let me know, and I'll help get the word out.

Well, it was fun, but I need to get off of the computer, LOL.

God bless you,

My husband wanted me to have the member's site open, but just have someone else be the administrator, because I just can't do this anymore. I have some new projects coming onto my plate that will require a lot of my free time.

So... The member's site is back up, but I will be contacting some people about become site administrator(s) to run the site.

The URL to access the Member's Site (since it is no longer linked on My Blessed Home) is http://www.freewebs.com/christianhomemaking

God bless you,

And, finally, 13 minutes later:

March 11, 2011, 11:54pm

I need to leave the Member's Area, as I just have too much on my plate right now, LOL. I'm sending an email to all moderators, asking if any or all of you would like to become site administrators. This would give each of you the ability to accept or reject new members, or open membership to anyone, should you wish. You can add more apps that freewebs offers, such as their Prayer Request app, and more, if you wish. You would have full running of the site to do with as you wish.

If you would like to become an administrator, just reply to this, and let me know, and I'll upgrade you from moderator to administrator, and then, just whenever you have the time, just jump on, and explore, to see how it all works.

If I get multiple administrators, which is what I'm hoping for, then eventually I will turn the site's ownership over to one of them, and I'll phase out.

Well, this was my main last task on the computer tonight. I'm going to log off now, and put my feet up and relax with my husband. :-)

God bless you,

-Candy

We knew it could never work because nothing of Candy's ever works. Ever.

EVER.

That said, maybe some of our hens have some time on their...claws?...to help Candy run her site. Applications now being accepted LOL!

Did you just know Candy's new site would FAIL? Tell us!
