And now for the second:

Customized Skins
One of our coolest features…

E-mail
All the e-mail support you could ask for…
The instant messenger comes complete with e-mail features so you have the option of sending e-mail messages directly from your messenger.


Now. I am just waiting for approval on a few things before this can start. I don't see any reason why I would not get approved for these services. I hope these are all things that you will enjoy using...

I'll be back here to check on messages later this evening... (I hope) http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/redface.gif

Thanks yas http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif Yeah, Blaziegirl wouldn't have to deal with Fortune City anymore. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif And yes, even though I don't get as much time in the forums as I would like, I still try to make 80sXChange an enjoyable experience as best I can.. I hope for this to become a portal where you can expect a positive experience...

Wow Sal I can't wait for this to happen - I've thought about moving my site but the thought of all those pages of lyrics being redone was a major reason to stay where I am but the feature Sitecopy really is appealling http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

Yeah, I'm excited myself! I think it'll be really cool to have everyone with an easier way to access their site. I think the other places have to many dots and slashes to make a website easy to remember. "zels80s.80sxchange.com" isn't so hard! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

You've been quite the busy bee lately haven't ya? http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif Well, I can't bring my primary site over (already quite well established where it is...besides that, I love the 2 letter subdomain I got now http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/wink.gif). I may concoct something over here though. As long as I got FTP access, it's all good http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif I've actually been thinking about making a MIDI site featuring only the highest quality sounding midis around...just a thought. Maybe I'll wait to see if you get this going and create it here http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Tydestra - why not build a site around your community? That would be a great idea. Just like this place - 80sXChange is built around this community. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

Otherwise, Roemello. I'm almost positive this is happening. So give it a few days or atleast until the weekend. Okay? http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

A few more goodies that go along with the WebSite Creation tool are a Search Engine Submission tool (I think that was already mentioned), a Meta Tag Generator! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif Forms so you can get info from your visitors - it sends the answers to your form questions right to your email. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif And a Press Release Wizard! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif I really can't wait to get this going.. To me, though, the coolest thing will be our own Instant Messenger. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif It will only be the people in our community.

I won't be rushing into this MIDI site project right away, so I can wait. You got to figure, I got this 170+ page site to maintain, my awards program, my wrestling column, and starting sometime in June I do horoscopes (no, I'm not an astrologer...it's just entertainment). Plus expansion of my current site...lotta work. But I will make it here for sure...it'll mostly have 80's midi's anyway, so the mysite.80sxchange thing'll work quite well for it http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Anyway, keep up the great work Sal!

Why not mirror the site for a little bit Roemello? I'm going to move all lyrics over to 80sxchange but leave the main page up at angelfire probably for a year until I get everything changed over (the rings, the searchengine links etc etc lol) http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/wink.gif I love the size opportunity though because I have major lyric goals http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

Well, I'm glad you'll all enjoy these new features. I'm still working out the specifics with the company who will provide the services. I can't wait for it to all get going.. I'm really curious about the Instant Messenger!! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

Hi all! I just wanted to say that everything has been approved and, that at some point this weekend, everything will be in working order.

This goes for the ability for you to copy an existing OR create a Free 20 meg website with the 80sXChange name (ie yourname.80sxchange.com) AND our very own Instant Messenger! It could take a day or two for these systems to propagate over the internet.. But it's 100% positively happening and right around the corner...

*to myself* I am soooo late...she's gonna kill me.

I just noticed something about your free hosting Sal...the service is brought to you by the owners of my server! You're in for it now buddy! lol.

Now I gotta get out of here or I won't be in good condition to be here later tonight http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/eek.gif

Definatly try out the new services while you're here - might as well! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

Roemello. Really? North Sky, eh? They have some pretty cool stuff. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif How are they treating ya? They seem very cool. Very quick with customer service! What do you think?

Well...they're doing ok now, but in the past there have been some really hellish times. Long down times, limited tech support, etc. Since they implemented new servers though, everything's been great! I can't wait til they upgrade web space capacity to 100 megs...I'll be expanding that site big time. Out of my 20 megs, I only got about 5 or 6 megs left, so I can't do too much right now. They've had this hosting package deal for a while. If I remember correctly, it's free too...not a bad deal.

Well, I'm definatly glad I've run into them. Why don't you create a 'side' page under 80sXChange and just integrate it, as seemlessly as you can, with your site? That would give you 20 more megs (while you're waiting for the 100 megs. Wow!) for the time being...

Integration sounds good, but it might confuse awarders (I love web awards if you hadn't noticed). I'll try to get something put together here though at some point.
