HAPPY BIRTHDAY REEFSPACE!

It's tough to believe ReefSpace is already a year old. It started as an experiment... I honestly wasn't sure anyone would find it useful. But apparently, I miscalculated, as we have nearly 300 members with countless profiles, photos, videos, and blogs!!! Thanks to all who dove right in and showed me that this crazy little idea of a reef aquarium social network could actually work! And here's to many more years, and many more members. Cheers, Travis Continue

WWW.REEFSPACE.NET


Just a quick note to let everyone know our new web address: www.reefspace.net ! Much easier to type in and tell your friends about...

One quick note- still ironing out a wrinkle that has the non-www version (http://reefspace.net) not working right, so make sure you hit the "w" three times!



The reefaquarium.ning.com address still works for now, but if you have any links out there you should chaContinue

ReefSpace Domain name update



Welp folks, I put in a good effort to acquire reefspace.com as our new web address. I have already acquired reefspace.net and reefspace.org

I put an offer of $60 on reefspace.com, which was already owned by someone who had it parked (i.e., squatter). This person put the domain up for auction. The auction ends around 1PM EST today. After several attempts, I have been outbid at $270 for this domain name. It has gone beyond what I’m willing to pay with the site sti

Adding a big photo

Aquaman... When clicking on the picture icon to add a photo to your blog post, you get this "upload a photo:" window. You have to click on the ">options" to expand them. Looks like it automatically resizes photos to 300px if you don't tell it otherwise. Some of the other options are cool though...

Example: Click on the photo of what I'm talking about below and it will pop open full-sized in a new window!

ReefSpace: Where do we go from here?

As many of you know, I started this social network because I saw a need for something like this, but also firmly based in the reality that the reefing community may not be ready for such a thing yet.

Less than a week and 30 members later, I'm convinced it could work! But... 30 folks does not a social network make.

To that end, I invite you to please read this article written by the CEO of ning:

How to add a "ReefSpace" button to your ReefSanctuary posts

When logged in to RS...

So, you've started a social network...


I thought I would create this Reef Aquarium network as an experiment to see if the saltwater aquarium world is ready for this!

We shall see... feel free to comment and tell me what you think. Although... leaving a comment would be confirming my decision.
