I'm not sure which it is in your country)I'm afraid that at the moment I see no value in Gleemax whatsoever. It turned my daily reading of WotC developer blogs on the vbulletin site into never visiting - and waiting for someone with more patience to post links to interesting items if they appeared. I can't see how that works to the benefit of WotC in any way, shape or form.The idea of a community blogging/messageboard/etc resource is a great one, but I think you'd be best served by ditching Gleemax before any more resource is wasted on it and buying any of dozens of excellent existing blogging software and configuring it for your own purposes. (looking at the HTML it has all the hallmarks of Microsoft SharePoint, and having laboured with that software for over a year myself I'd never recommend that anyone ever considers using it for anything other than intranets).Good luck.</blockquote>
