Honestly even if I don't make any money from it if the forum itself makes a difference in peoples lives and leads people closer to god that would be enough for me my only thing is if it's time consuming.
A blog is nothing more than, "A coustom templetate," which Blogger supplies to you free of any charges, plus you add your own desired gadgets and widgets that Blogger also supplies for free and then presto you've made your first blog. This is exactly how I got started blogging through the help of a Christian friend 5yrs ago. I told my friend that because of my physical limitations due to cancer treatments I wanted to start a Christian blog to Glorify God, over the internet and worldwide. My point is to learn the steps of creating a Christian website by creating a simple blog "for free" and then move on to bigger dreams like creating a Chrstian forum. "A forum and A blog" are based on similar applications that you and I can understand. I will put the link to my blog in my signature in case you are interested - God bless!
