As a nearly lifelong Iowan who now currently resides in Missouri....I have some observations.
First. You know how when you visit the lower two tiers of counties in Iowa people start sounding funny??? Like saying WaRshington instead of Washington...…
Hi annette, thanks for making a cool site!
you may want to watch for spammers on your network... if you visit my profile, you will see some comments inviting me to visit "web cams"... these members will go profile to profile writing on your members walls, which generates an e-mail to your members, who then visit your site, only to learn that they have been spammed. the more you allow them to get away with it, the more they will do it, until they ruin your site...if you go to manage--members, you will see a list of all of your members e-mail addresses. spammers usually have similar addressed that are throw-away, temporary, etc. when a member uses one of these addresses to join, ban them immediately. if you don't, they will "lurk" for several days or weeks, then come in and spam your whole network when you aren't watching. anyway, let me know if i can be any help. i have created several ning networks, so i can help admin if you like. ttyl, polymath22
