Morning Gav ,

We have several sites that are wordpress but set up as normal sites , it really depends upon what exactly you are intending to do with the site as to what i would advise , if you dont want people commenting then thats an easy fix with wordpress , there is also Joomla , both are cms systems which cope well with storing masses of content , drop me a pm if you need further input ... there are many different platforms that can be utilised dependant upon your specific requirements

scotserve does hosting .... We only sell hosting for the sites we build ,


Wordpress is a free software , we charge to design for it and set it up ........ it's easy enough to do yourself if you feel brave , and there are thousands of free templates for it

i will probably just keep the white default template as i dont want any thing dark or even scary  as we are trying to  show there is not nothing to be scared of lololololololololololol

whats the best domain name extension for this type of site thanks again for all the help

[scotserve]

Gav
I can fix you up with some nice templates for the site - domain extension is really more directed at the market - i.e. if UK centric then a .co.uk but for wider appeal then .com  or at a stretch .info considering the type of site it is going to be

I replied to your email - sorry wasnt sure just what type of site - since its not e-commerce you can really use any package

[gavgav]

thanks mate ive just about to register my domain name

[gavgav]

im going for dot com because the information is relative to all who is interested in the paranormal

Smells that aren't there that you associate with someone you know or knew are a genuine psychological manifestation. I smell split doughnuts sometimes because my little nan used to buy me one as a treat on a rare occasion. I could smell doughnuts on and off long before she died and she lived many miles away (nor was I anywhere near doughnuts nor any bakery  ), a psychoanalyst I knew told me it was a scent association bought on by a memory trigger and pretty much everyone gets it once in a while.
