Re: Hosting

 

Hi Charles, 

I can set up a subforum on linuxmint.com/forums if you want and you can
use a section of the Wiki to show information. I can also take care of
publishing the XML feed and hosting the audio files. 

I realize you'll want to do all this by yourself eventually but if you
want to focus on the recordings themselves, until you've got a better
solution you can rely on linux mint to help you with all of this. 

Clem.

And here, I will need help.

I can get the domain and site and Adsense account, but I'll need someone
who can set up the site for podcasts and forums.

Do we have any volunteers here with the skills to put together the web
site?
