Blogtown Press Blog Network Launches
One of the regulars in the forums, Erik Vossman, posted several questions to the Blogging Chat forum prior to launching his blog network, asking for advice and suggestions. Erik asked a few key questions including – Is there a good day of the week to launch on the Internet? and Should I launch a network before I love the design?, which sparked some interesting feedback from the forum community (including me!).
Last month Erik went public with his blog network, Blogtown Press. He launched with a unique contest giving away coconuts from Hawaii (he lives in Hawaii) in exchange for linking to any of the blogs in his network. The competition is still running now – Link to a Coconut Contest if you want to get your hands on a coconut.
Erik mostly runs the entire network himself, which is no doubt a lot of work. His launch contest is a great idea, offering a unique prize in exchange for exposure and backlinks.
Forums Back Online!
The new vBulletin powered forums are back!
Yaro’s Internet Business & Blogging Forums
I’m still getting used to the new forum system but I think vBulletin is going to impress me. With all the plug-ins available it reminds me a lot of WordPress, which is awesome (all the great free WordPress plug-ins being a major reason why) and although vBulletin is not free, it looks well supported by a large community.

Big Thanks To Nick From DotZero.com.au
My good friend Nick back in Brisbane did the conversion of the previous invision board forum into vBulletin. He’s the owner of DotZero, a Brisbane web design services business. I’ve known Nick for a while now and if you need any IT stuff done he can probably help.
