One of the best ways to extend your blog into a full blown community, is by starting your own forum where all visitors to your blog can be found in the same place and interact with them. As we would like to think of blogs as a two-way conversation, it is really the owner of blog to publish new content for new discussions start. With a forum, a community is built around your blog and it helps others not only speak on the same subjects, but also become moderators well respected and users in the same niche.
As much of an idea, that it may seem to start your own active forum, there are a few things you need to first have. More importantly, established an active web site that already have an amount of readers. The next step is to find a community platform or forum that works with your web site. Many people shy away from their own forum because they don't want to deal with the intensive installation process and costs involved with buying the right software.
I was recently contacted on new dolphin community software, which is an open source, fully customizable and free for the construction and execution of your own community site. After reviewing through their websites, videos and product ventilation, it seems quite surprising.
While I was focusing primarily on the concept of building a community and a forum on your existing blog, software offer the feature really become its own social network, dating site or even a niche community. To get a quick overview and feel for what Dolphin can do for you and build a community of web, be sure to see the video below.
In addition to creating community software Dolphin, Boonex also built their own directory of models that can be used with their Dolphin software. BoonEx is going to talk about their social networking models and how they personally are not model drawings creation directly, but instead leaving it to their partners and members of the site.
When questioned about why the company is not providing models with their package Dolphin, Andrew Boon said:
We probably never will and reinforces this position to the point that I would say that anyone who provides the community software with many models is diluent Landmine of their product and sale "packaging" that you do not need.
While some of their users can then make unfortunate, Boon is absolutely right. How many times you have purchased a product which came with a pile of shit did you not need, but he eventually pay anyway. This is exactly why the excellent products and software such as WordPress, can remain free. They are not "sale of shit" and stuffing into the bonus the cost of the product.
With more than 3 million downloads so far, the release of dolphins has been quite exciting for Boonex. Now let's to look at some of the models for community sites they have. There are hundreds of models on the site, and they go any where from $5 to autour $ 79 for first quality and high end models.
If you've always wanted to start your own social network but had no idea where to begin, Dolphin also has an offer of models of social networking sites to inspire and encourage ideas for you. What is really cool social networking models, is that each have a specific focus to help make your best social network. In the examples below you can see how some models allow sites or travel settings, while others can configure alerts or even commissions work.
After looking through the web site of Dolphin and the software, it seems that it would be a great for someone who has the time to learn how to use the system, and was already an established audience, but looking to expand further with a network social forum or the community.
