There are times -- now almost a daily occurence -- when I think to myself "Why on didn't I think of that idea?" Today it was "deja vu all over again.' The concept of an on-line forum is absolutely ripe for these times. The means are here for frequent, timely and responsive communication.

So, here's my two-cents worth. I'm certain that 'out there' on the www there are many fine websites that could serve as a model for others of us who are struggling to create a 'web presence' for a community -- not a dealership, nor a state association -- just for a community. I've tried to craft an identity on the www for 'my' community and it can be found at http://www.MyAffordableHousing.com If there are owners and managers who would like to forward me the URL's their websites I'd be very pleased to gather the addresses into a single location and make them all available for this discussion forum's member. That way we can all see (and probably emulate) the good ideas that are being developed to promote our small businesses. My e-mail is [email protected]
