Southern Girl, whatever you do - please do not let people on this board discourage you. The #1 key to your success is to say "fuck the haters" and this board is riddled with haters.
9 out of 10 people that you expose your idea to will be negative and discouraging. And normally that includes well-meaning" family and friends too.
The key for you is to find your audience, find what makes you unique in this global internet market. Then work as hard as you can to keep that market happy and in love with your site.
I say GO FOR IT, and I have not seen what you look like. The key ultimately is your desire, how hard you are willing to work, and how bad you want your site to succeed. Feel free to email me or icq me and I will be glad to help you further. This forum is not the best place to get detailed, on-going personal advice that can really help you succeed.
good luck, and remember "fuck the haters" because they are not the ones putting food on your table. Your members and your fans are the key, so show them love and take good care of them.
