ZEITGEIST, The Movie - Remastered / Final Edition - Full Production. What does Christianity, 911 and The Federal Reserve all have in common? the first 4 minutes are black with audio, then it turns into a movie
There are over 700,000 ning sites already. Atatuda22 has Photoeye, and QuarryGirl77 has CoolerBeans.
Each of these networks was grown from nothing, and is independent of all other ning sites.
That means if you would like to join a lot of these sites ( and I hope you do), you will want to get a ning profile. This allows you to host your picture-avatar and basic profile information in one place and have it import to new networks you join. I've joined close to 100, all run by different people for different reasons.
If you would like to make your own ning site, they are free and easy. The hardest part is thinking up a good name!
Well, getting people to join is kinda tough, and turning nothing into something takes time, but hopefully thats where your friends help out, and you help your friends.
Be sure to read "how to use iowa arts and crafts".
Cheers,
