You Save The Planet

Recommended Posts

Whaddya' think? I have to use the non-Xisto hosted because I am yet to request hosting.... very soon.

 

I am developing this as a place where people can subscribe to newsletters, articles, RSS feeds - etc.

 

I have the domain name already, but I haven't connected the DNS nameservers yet. I will be Xisto hosted - I am pretty sure that you can supply the domain name instead of having anything like XYZ.trap17.com, right?

 

In any case, I will follow up this post - sometime shortly after Earth Day (April 22nd).

 

It will feature a php driven CMS capable of nearly everything (gotta love TikiWiki) - it will take me a while to carve it down to size and customize it a bit. Here's a sample from our home page:

 

Our Goal: educate

 

Our goal is simple and possible to achieve. The underlying goal would be that together, we will save the planet. The current problem is that a majority of the people either don't care or feel that they have no power

 

Through education, we can learn the better paths to take. Through education, we can teach others the environmentally conscious things we have learned.

 

"Be the change you wish to see..."

 

What can you do? How much difference can I make? What harm am I causing? All of these questions are addressed here. In our forums, we discuss these questions and more. As for specifics, we will have a "Glossary" section, where these terms and questions are defined. As an anonymous user, you will be free to search the forums, and articles.

I'm looking forward to seeing the site. It looks interesting and educational. Certainly will be different than most of the clan sites.

The site has to be better than the clan sites - if it is only average, it will be a failure in my eyes. This is certainly the kind of site I want to put my efforts into. I used to be more involved with activism in my college days. This has to be one of the best way to spread the word - education.Is this the type of site that people will subscribe to? I know that the urgency of doing something to "Save the Planet" has increased over the last few years. It is never too early, and better to error on the side of "we better do something now".If anybody has any ideas about what other content we should have, or features that we can (try to) include - I'd be greatly in debted for the thoughts. Keeping all of the clutter clear is a difficult job.
