Burble Net Join Who can join? Any
artist who works in a medium that can be fairly presented on the web is
welcome to have a site hosted here.
This includes, but is not limited to, writing, drawing, painting,
computer graphics, music, and photography. What requirements exist for sites hosted
here? Artists
must be willing to provide regular content (update at least twice a
week). They must also link to all
Burble Net artists and the forums from all pages. Outside of this, the structure and content
of the sites is entirely up to the artists being hosted. The one final requirement is that each
artist must provide one piece of artwork per month that will be given
exclusively to users who have donated to the site. I
don’t want to act as an editor; you will control the format and schedule for
your site and anything you post will not be subject to approval by me. Do I have to participate in the Poll/Question
of the Week features? No. Every time they are to be updated, I will
email the new Poll or Question to the artists in advance. If you choose, you may reply with your own
answer. Also, feel free to recommend
Polls and Questions whenever you have an idea. What are the benefits of having a site
hosted here? In
addition to your own free space to
host your artwork online, Burble Net submerges you in a community of artists
and art consumers. You gain viewers
from having your site linked from every
page in the Burble Net community, a forum specifically devoted to the
discussion of your artwork, and an
instantaneous link other artists with whom you can interact and collaborate. How much space/bandwidth do you offer? You
will be allowed unlimited space. I will
keep purchasing more to accommodate the needs of the site. Currently, I am allotted half a gigabyte
per month of bandwidth by my host. I
am looking into setting up my own server.
Once that happens, the bandwidth limit will be whatever my two-way cable
connection can handle. What does it cost to be hosted here? As of
now, I am only paying two dollars a month, billed yearly, for ad-free
hosting. For as long as this hosting
option is reasonable for the site in terms of storage space and bandwidth, hosting
a site here will be free. I am looking
into future options such as buying my own server and domain to keep costs
down when the site expands. Even if I
have to charge to keep up, it would only be around fifty cents to a dollar
per month for unlimited storage
space. What sort of technical knowledge does
hosting a site here require? None. I am willing to create and maintain
websites for artists here or teach them how to make their own using simple
and readily available tools. How do I join? I have a question not
answered here. Just
email me some basic info: Name
and email address AND Nature
of art you wish to host and ff you need any help designing or maintaining
your site OR Your
question You can
