Howdy all, as many of you know (or can tell from our highly successful Swicki) I'm always experimenting with new technologies to help integrate the RS experience.

To that end, I have created a Reef Aquarium social networking site. It only took me a few minutes and no money, so here's the deal:

It's very simple to sign up and use. From your profile, you will be able to post blogs, photos, videos and more. What does that all culminate in? A page dedicated to your tank that you can update, get comments, etc.


Think it's a good idea? Than sign up for a profile. You'll see just how easy it is. Then, if enough people decide to use this feature, I will begin integrating it with the forums here on RS (imagine a link to your profile page beneath your avatar).

Give it a shot, if you guys don't like this idea, no big loss. It's up to y'all. :)

Here's the link: Reef Aquarium Social Network

Doni, somebody managed to sign up... maybe just a hiccup with ning server? They just re-launched...

KodiakBear, I can see if I can increase the size of the type. Looks like the blog post is the really small stuff.

Okay. Well now it is saying 'there is a problem with my ID'. Maybe it created a profile for me even though the error message popped up?

Does the sign up require an email verification? I am not at home right now to check.

Did you try logging in as Woodstock?

If not, try signing up as "DoniMarie" and see if that works...

No forum. Just a social networking site, a la MySpace but just for us reef geeks.

The tie with RS is me running it, and our members... :)
