You would think a guy that built 13 websites would know how to put a link in his post. Sorry, I can't help you without it.

And an experienced IT person giving this comment would try to put http://
in front of this given site or enter it in google or had heard about "ning"
after trying all that it is the only time that you blame very experienced web builders of not providing the right info.
clogz14 just another of the over 1000 000 "ning " social network website owners.
You have not heard what "ning is" ?. Did you not update yourself with what is going on now already for 2 years?

Thank you clogz14 ..do you think it may be a little envy?

it was an oversite on my part and the response he gave was typical of American manners on the Internet--as you so wisely pointed out --you do what I do simply put www. and keep it moving.

I certainly don't need his review do I? btw I started playing with building websites to pass the time while this LADY takes care of her infirm and blind 93-year old mother. Thank you!

Unnecessary comment, if you do not wish to participate in discussion please do not reply. Personal comment, 3 links in signature leading to same site and just pointing different content do you call it success?

@cartasdebasura interesting idea of background for frame, but it doesn't go well in my opinion with solid colour of whole site. Also in lower section where you do not have side entries the repeat effect is standing out too much.
The homepage at present time is too long. You are putting too much content, should be more of introduction or maybe presenting latest article or two to your site. Rest of current content I would move to various groups (by person/singer/band) or perhaps blog entries. Same can be said about latest activities, photos and blog entries. Either provide more of short text information or limit number of entries to 1 or 2 but let them have image or video thumbnails in.
Good idea in using services such as Ning. No need to register domain and getting reliable hosting. Ning is actually reasonably helpful and their support is very friendly by my experience.

Thank you sir for you kind critique. NING has it's own boilerplate. NING also has these long, long sites like mine,because we can only use the main page. So we have one page to work with. There are blogs, there are notes, and there are forums. On my page, There are tabs, that lead to interesting stuff in the background.

Why do you think the site has been so successful if I may ask?

NING is free for start, it doesn't require user to be skilled in web development, easy to start up interest groups and they seems to provide reliable final product.

PS: Sun Microsystems use it for their student oriented forum OSUM (Open SOurce University Meetup, unfortunatelly there is not much to see if you do not have access so here is screenshot)

you could shorten the page, by using layers and visibility, give your page a different appearance to other pages on the site without breaking the template
