Keep in mind that the big beef himself said negative comments are a good thing. They allow you to reflect on things and adjust accordingly. I agree.

Well have to definitely check out this newer version. I know not too long ago their own website was down, not sure if it was really a server failure that wiped out everything or was it that their site got attacked. In any event, because of all the stories I read online about phpBB (even though I have used their forum before), I swapped over to SMF for my blog forum. Although SMF is also prone to getting hacked, it seemed the occurrence was minimal compare to all the stories circulating around the internet on phpBB (ie reviews). I would definitely have to check back on this new phpBB3, although I want to note that no matter how secure something may seem, there is always a leak.

I also fail to see paying for a forum service up front when you haven't gotten any traffic to being with. Especially at those prices. Forums are difficult to monetize and especially hard to drive traffic to if you are new compare to a blog.

If your website is MyBlog.com you should create, MyBlogForum.com Forums are more time consuming to manage and promote than a blog. There are enough blogging forums out there now, creating another wouldn't be worth it unless you have something unique I think if you want to create a forum, you should attach it to another domain.

I thought it was a great article, and to be honest since I read it I have been thinking about a better way to organize my blogging. I simply meant that it seemed to be overkill for my needs, not that it was a totally insane idea. Gee sometimes my apologies cut worse than my original comments. Anyway, I think you get my meaning.

Don't sweat it. I once wrote an article for a magazine that got me lynched by a bunch of feminists. Now that is pain. Yeah bro, it’s all good. Don’t sweat it.

I would also like to apologize to John Cow for this article and the way I presented it. It was way over the top. I was condescending and I was way out of line. I really should have written about another blogging topic, or not at all here at John Cow dot com. I have a lot to learn about blogging and humility, and I am sure no a-list blogger. I am open to all your comments, both here and at my own blog. I am open to all of your constructive criticism and advice. I am also interested in how you organize your blogging. It's obvious I could learn a lot from other readers and bloggers. I would like to apologize to John Cow’s readership for this article that I wrote.

Granted I am not, nor will I ever be an A-list anything but recognizing our shortcomings is the first step right? Anyway, I can see the need for a way to organize such data online, since I often access from a variety of locations, but I am not sure this is the way to go. Besides the prices in the post are wrong. I just checked the Invision Power Services site and they offer a $149 and a $299 package. Unless I am totally missing something. Long winded (typed) way of saying I like the idea, just not sure this is the right way to go about it. Glad to see I wasn’t the only one who thought this was a bit over the top.

I have everything organized into about 10 folders,it is really useful to be able to click on one and open 50 websites at once in tabs. Everytime I find a new site, it goes in one of the folders, and I know where to find it next time. :) I read a lot of blogs every day, easily 100+
