    Every day i come to this forum and see posts `how do i start this` `how do i start that`

    So i wrote a quick blog post on starting a web directory the basics. I included several reviews and feaures of the popular directory scripts.

    Feedback is appreciated

    Yes, I did post a comment there. I think it is more on finding the right directory script but fail short to mention its pros and cons.

    I am very interested in why using one script over another seems to give better success, thats like saying driving a beamer will make you a better or faster driver ?

    can you expand on these comments

    Not sure if this is what you meant but I don't believe that you should write something you don't necessarily believe and post it in your blog. Sounded to me in your post that you were saying indexu was the only way to go. Here on the forum sounded like you don't care.....

    I also don't really think it is a good idea to plagiarize/copy from others sites which is what it sounds like you did by taking the description right off indexu's site word for word.

    You of course can do what you like but that is my opinion on it.

    your right i can do what i want

    the idea of the post was just to give a little help not say you must use a certain script

    so for peace sake i removed indexu from my posts

    I`m now beginning to realise why people are leaving this forum in there droves you try and give a little help and even that does`nt go down well
