I am closing my MSN group, I am staying mostly with graphics now.  However, I did set up one group at Google for the alternative aspects on one's life, here is the link, you will need a gmail account to access it.  This is where I keep my writings about the lifestyle.   http://groups.google.com/group/Calies-Collegiate?hl=en   If you want to know how such a site can be set up, then I would suggest you check this one. google does use html, which is a bonus, you can set up pages, as well as have the posts and discussions.  It is different then MSN and might get confusing.  You can check this one to see what it's like and I believe you need to aign up with gmail for that as well.   http://groups.google.com/group/calies-creative-corner?hl=en  Now on Yuku, it's forum based, yet you can set up the forums in a manner that seperates things much like you do with message boards and posts in MSN, this one I actually like and decided to keep.  Drawback is the fact it's a CCS format, which I don't know, though you can get some wonderful skins from many people who make them.  This one is not closed so I believe you can check out much of it without signing up for an account, not 100% positive on that one though...lol   http://caliescreativecorner.yuku.com/  Ning is also a forum based CCS format site and I find you can't seperat things like you can at the others.  Still, if you want to check it out here is the link.   http://caliescorner.ning.com/  The added bonus for Ning is the ability to add video and music if that interests you.   The last site, Multiply, is not really completed, it's mostly just the base set up you would be seeing.  I find it's not much different then Ning and might be confusing.   You can check it out here.   http://calievee.multiply.com/  Out of all of them I prefer the Google and Yuku sites simply because of the way they can be set up so you can categorize things to your liking, something that is limited in the other two.   I will check out your site though, it's possible I may like it better.  I have heard of them before, though never really checked them out, so thank you for the link.  Hope my information so far has been helpful and the site links give you an idea about them.
