Hello Eric,

While I am sure most List members appreciate your work and offer here, the
last time someone hosted a meteorite blog, it bombed big time. People were
impersonating others and talking a lot of trash. My advice would be to NOT
start another meteorite blog.

Best regards,
Greg

> Hi All,
>
> List members and many meteorite friends have have asked me if I could help
> them build a website like mine. Usually I get asked how much I would
> charge for a complete meteorite website including web and image hosting.
> After building a number of meteorite websites for some of you guys it gave
> me an idea.
>
> Instead of charging normal prices well in excess of $300 to $500 for a
> complete e-commerce website and shopping cart system with all the bells
> and whistles, I wanted to find a way to build and host one for all
> meteorite people and Met List members less than $5 per month.
>
> Most people that inquired really wanted just a simple website that they
> can manage themselves and one that is easy to update, change pages, add
> photos etc. That seems to be the most people really want for their sites
> anyway. So I found something, and after some tinkering and figuring this
> is what I came up with.
