Some of you may remember I was thinking about setting up a blog site.. The is to be an alternative to Townhall.com.. Anyone can create a free blog, online photo gallery, etc, geared towards the Freedom Movement. Well, I finally got around to setting up the domain and finishing up the settings, etc..

Please check it out, http://LibertyHQ.com

There's not much there yet, but as people sign up and start using it, the site will fill up with activity. I expect the forums won't get much use at first, this is primarily intended for blogging.

Also, I'm offering free e-mail addresses to anyone who requests one.. @LibertyHQ.com.. Anti-spam built in, POP3/IMAP/SMTP compatible.

Please also feel free to leave suggestions..

Thank you! That is fantastic - and so strange because I was just wondering today where I could get blogging space for free without having to finally bow down to the big G (oogle).

One thing - the links in this paragraph don't work: "Registrations & participation is completely free. Join now, and you can create your own blog & photo album and parttake in the discussion forums. Get involved & have fun!"

Looks great though!

Cool site.

Suggestions:
- Make the Liberty HQ banner/header thingy at the top smaller. It takes up a lot of screen space
- Have select blog posts on the front page

Yeah I thought it was too big, too - I'll make that change tonight..

Good idea about posts on the front page.. I'll put another box up on there once we get things moving..

thanks

Bookmarked, I may try to add some later. I'll play with the GIMP and try to create something.
I'm not all that artsy.

Why don't you start a blog, you seem pretty opinionated.. :D (aren't we all?)

Thanks man that would rock.. I'd like to keep a torch as the logo but feel free to use a different torch or make your own, etc.. Preferably if you redo the graphic, a vector, or high res version would be ideal.. :cool: ok am i asking for too much? :eek:

Probably - what's the site running? We'll look into that

That is a very beautiful design, I really like it a lot..

However - I guess I forgot to mention something pretty important before, and I apologize.. I'd like the site to be inviting for people from all countries, not just America.. The philosophy of liberty transcends borders, it's a universal concept.. If I used that graphic, I think it would scare away international users as the site would come across as too US-centric.

That being said, I think we can still use this design as an advertising banner.. If you could, would you mind changing it around a bit for different sized banners? Maybe add a few lines like "free blogs for the freedom revolution" or something like that? That way people who might have a US-centric site and want to help advertise LibertyHQ on their site could use this as a banner..

Thanks!!

Very exciting!

One little thing, I noticed on this page, it said "LiberyHQ" instead of "LibertyHQ."
http://libertyhq.com/blogs/libertyhqnews/default.aspx

Same for the very first sentence on the front page:
http://libertyhq.com/
"Thanks for checking out LiberyHQ!"

I think this site is really going to grow! Thanks for setting it up!

Holy cow, I need to learn how to spell! I can't believe I missed that, thanks for pointing it out..

Did you create an account? Glad you like the site.. :)

are you ready for a huge boost of traffic at the site? how much room for expansion is there, and will you set up for donations or ad revenue of any sort?

love it so far!

Awesome, LadyJade signed up.. :)

Yeah I'm ready.. have plenty of drive space (for now) on the server.. It's not the world's fastest server tho.. what kind of boost in traffic are you talking about?

I'm not too interested in donations or ads yet, maybe at some point.. But all it has cost me to set up so far was $7 for the domain and my time..

We've got 18 blogs going so far.. feel free to come by & create your own.. You don't have to post to it every day.. Won't it feel good to get up on a pedestal (your blog) and shout out your thoughts? You bet it will..
