I have fussed and fussed with the Multiply editor and the "main" page is as good as it's going to get for now folks. I'll fuss again in January. I think we've got a reasonably appealing group. I like the beach setup myself:)

I have decided that perhaps we should leave the Multiply Group geared more towards "discussion" as that is what has been lacking from the MSN Group. The forums at Aimoo are much more organized, leaving room for numerous postings and discussion. If we get caught up in the numerous postings here at Multiply, the imporant messages may get lost in the shufflle.

This does not mean that a thread can't be started for our typical daily postings. It means that I'm not going to post a great deal about the projects that I work with on the other sites. Instead I may offer a topic for a potential project and if it needs to be private run the thread restricted for those that are involved with the project.

Due to the Multiply setup I think we will be providing a better service if we gear more towards "discussion" and using the group to get to know one another on a personal basis (which is more of what we have always wanted) then a daily event resource.

We will do the same with the new Windows Live Group (discussion only). No new members yet btw;) If an article presents well for opinion then by all means post it, and I will post a few daily, weekly, monthly articles that I believe enhance our message, but I'd like to leave the Google and Aimoo groups that are setup more for multiple messages and leave Multiply and Windows for "talk"! :)

The website should be tailored more towards what we want to announce as progressing projects and accomplishments. Website=www.backtothebasicsplease.com. This is our official image to the organizations and individuals that will be "hopefully" donating funds and/or joining in our efforts and causes.

So, we now have quite a setup and we are literally everywhere. I haven't even mentioned the MySpace profile which is doing bettter than all combined. I will manage this myself. Ed is managing the Facebook profile and from what I've seen it is starting to take off:)

Ed and myself are the only managers for all of these sites and profiles folks. As well Ed and I are supposed to be concentrating on the non-profit corporation setup so if you'd like to participate in managing one of these groups, we really need additional managers! We've built all of these cities with no mayors and no sales people:( LOL!
