Almost permission time! by Edward Wilder on 2010-05-01 14:45:00 UTC Reply

My month is up in two days, and I just realized I don't have anywhere to post missions! If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them. I would like it if it isn't the sort of place that would double-check the age registered in my email account and then ban me from seeing my own stuff, or the sort of place that would make me hang around a month before they let me post anything (Just kidding, I love you all).

I'm considering making my own site to put missions on, but I'm not the best at site design so it would either take a lot of time (making it look okay) or a bit of cash (paying someone else to do it), and it might also be a bit harder to find, so...yeah. Suggestions please?

Other options! by Neshomeh on 2010-05-01 22:57:00 UTC Reply

As someone who has constructed my own site, I like the flexibility and control that gives me. I know of a few places that have a free site-builder feature that doesn't require any HTML on your part, but you'll have to compare what they offer for yourself, since I DO use HTML. These are them:

http://www.tripod.com (My first choice.)

http://www.webs.com (Used to be Freewebs. Lots of other people's first choice.)

http://www.bravenet.com (They also have a lot of cool free stuff you can use anywhere.)

I've been meaning to make an ESAS site for a while now, and webs.com has a rather purty-looking site template with a waterlily on it. Perfect for any Department of Floaters site.

As an example:

I don't think I'll be bothered to get my own site until I get some more missions up, though...Thanks so much for the advice!

Well, there's Livejournal, which I know a lot of people use for PPC-related stuff (including myself!). It's simple and easy, and there shouldn't be an age-restriction problem - and even on the free accounts there's a great number of good-looking layouts.

Ditto Webs.com - they have an easy page editor and pretty layouts that number in the hundreds.

Good luck, and I can't wait to see what missions you'll do!

So...is there a PPC community on livejournal I should be looking for, or am I wasting my time?

Riiight here. by Chatvert on 2010-05-01 20:02:00 UTC Reply

And lots of people have personal LJs on which to post their missions; I use http://wizkit.livejournal.com for mine.
