Regarding Starting a Discussion Forum Website?
I want to start a website that provides an online discussion forum. If possible, I would like to allow people to create their own profiles on the site and perhaps even up load photos if they chose to.
However, I know very little about website design and domain regsitration. First off, how difficult of a feat is this for someone who has very little experience? What web design software should I start with? Where should I register my domain name and how much space would I need?
Thanks for your advice.

Hope this is of great help.
You don’t need a website. Just start a discussion group on Yahoo. It’s free to do it and everyone just uses their own Yahoo identities. Here’s the link:
http://groups.yahoo.com/
If you want your own domain and forum website not associated with free group accounts like yahoo. Just buy a domain from godaddy.com, then find a web hosting company. Then go to vbulletin.com and check them out. VBulletin can be customize to the look you want. If you need further assistance, let me know. I’ll help you out more.
Good luck.
