Midwest DIY (static) Web Site??
I'm going to toss this out. I have spoken to a few people via PM and otherwise behind the scenes and it seems like something that COULD work.
I'm willing to pay for the domain (TBD) and for the initial web hosting to ensure that it's a web site that can actually be hit by multiple users at the same time without bogging down to nothingness....like PETT used to do...LOL.....
This WILL NOT be just an informational site...it would be interactive to some extent, (like uploading pics and whatnot), otherwise I have no real interest in it. It must be something very functional and timely and maintained. There are so many superb designers who have their own sites, and of course there would be links to all those great sites. However, I think it would be nice to gather all the midwest coolness and localize it in one site and also provide a single point of information for all midwest gatherings, etc. ....something that would also be updated in a timely fashion so that others outside of PETT would also be clued in on a real time basis. Forgive me, but I am NOT a big forum guy....I only contribute to PETT. After doing the video conferencing at InDIYana 2012 I understand that our DIY "virtual" reach is broad and real.
Trust me when I say that there is NOTHING in this for me. It will be a capital outlay for me and the only reason I am even contemplating doing this is that I feel it would be my way of paying forward for all the awesome knowledge I have gained from my interaction here on PETT. Oh...just in case you were wondering, this site will NOT have a forum or compete in any way with any of the great forums out there. It will be more of a focal point for everything Speaker DIY for the midwest. Does that make sense? Am I crazy?
My son is Graduating from DePaul University next month. He did the Chicago 2011 DIY web site..... I'm no genius, but I did pay for his tuition...payback time? Me thinks so.
What do you say?
