According to Marketing Director and Board Administrator Cyndalie, the new site offers adult forums with the added benefit of a personalized blogging space. Members can either create and moderate their own space directly from AWHangout.com, or they can use it as a redirect to an external blog. In either case, blogs come equipped with public or private access protocols.
“This is an important learning tool and resource for all webmasters, especially those who utilize message boards to learn, exchange information, network and promote their sites, programs and sponsors,” Cyndalie said. “Each member blog is provided with a user/search engine friendly URL, the ability to post images, moderate comments and syndicate their own feeds.”
Cyndalie said the new community-building resources will be especially helpful as a learning tool for webmasters, giving newbies an environment where they can break into blogging and learn about RSS feeds and syndication tools, as well as develop their own platform for access to videos, links, articles and whatever other content they wish to add.
“Blogs are also a great way to tie together all of the projects [webmasters] work on and update peers on progress,” Cyndalie said. “They also are a great way to promote sponsors and for sponsor programs themselves to maintain a blog in its name to archive company news and announcements which they can link to from a concise post on the board.”
Cyndalie said the service is highly customizable for each member and always will be free.
