True ...... but thats not generally something you check every time you read a thread ...... i was thinking that maybe u could make it blink on and off if its real old so ppl see the date ...... but since you dont have that i guess i'll just have to get into the habbit of checking the dates before i post

I'm wondering how you came across it? Was it the similar threads listing at the bottom of the page or from a search? This sort of thread doesn't pop up to the top in other situations.

It does have the date on each posting!

I just want to point out that this thread was started over a year ago. Tomaine2002 revived it somehow, I don't know how.

How exactly do you plan on 'making money' from your site? will people have to subscribe to your site?...or do you plan on selling things?..or how?

Regarding the 'lyrics' site idea...how could profiting off of someone else's artistic work without their permission NOT be copyright infringement?

Let's say YOU, KandieMan are an indie artist...your lyrics are printed in your cd jacket for those who buy it to see, your lyrics are even posted for free on your own personal artist website (which many artists do as I'm sure you know)...then one day you are surfing the web and come across a site where YOUR lyrics are posted without your permission...what is your reaction? Do you feel your copyright has been violated? For me, if noone was PROFITING off of it, I would have no problem with it. I can see it as free advertising, especially since I post the same thing for free on my own site...but if someone was PROFITING off of that website, (off of my work without me even knowing about it)...that's infringement any way you look at it! Big sites like the example you guys used like lyrics... I am sure they get permission (as Suzanne mentioned) from the artists or from the PRO's the artists' belong to, and I am sure a royalyty is paid if any PROFITS are made by the site...the lyrics are posted there for free, so that is not the money making aspect of that site...they SELL the artists' cd's on there as well, and obviously royalties must be paid for that.

That's my two cents.

I think it'd b too hard even w/ girls helping you out for a guy to make a site tageted at a female audience. Think about, you know not only nothing about the subject (how teen girls feel about hygene make-up etc.) but also how they want a site to look. You'd be taking a stab in the dark. Frankly I'd make a site about reviews mabe you could review movies or tv shows or video games stuff like that. I think that topic is more in your field.

Sounds good to me, also, I think it'll be a good learning curve (being a guy and all...)

I've thought of creating a website for girls ages (12-18) that would cover just about everything... beauty, fashion, personal hygene, boys, etc.... I'm male, but I know I could get plenty of females to assist me on the website. I think it could be very successful.... some sites that would be very similar:

http://www.girlfriend.com.au/
http://www.girland.com/
http://www.go-girl.com/
http://www.smartgirl.org/

It would pretty much be an online "seventeen" or "cosmogirl", just not exactly "magazine format". Also, after the one for girls is finished and running well, one for guys and then one for kids would be created...

any input on this?

Yes, there are so many and who would know where to go to find the one that they need? If you index them then they will know exactly where to go (first).
