| Good stuff youtube seems to be the ideal environment, for this kind of stuff. Only complaint is that you should break down video's into segments. hour long vid's are really hard to watch, in a single sitting. Don't have much of a choice. Also it doesn't allow your audience to choose what they want ... |

| Asking people to pay to host material on the site in order to support the site? Is that what you're saying? If that is, I doubt that would work. That doesn't sound like something I think people would be eager to do... |

| I've seen more than just the average uses of WordPress though. While I know how it's used on MOST sites, I also know what it is truly capable of. I spend a lot of time browsing sites like Vandelay Design and Smashing Magazine. WordPress can do amazing things if put into the right hands. |

| First of all, I don't know for sure anything that Alex is planning. I know that he is working on a new version of the site. What I would do, if I were Alex (again, to be 100% clear, everything that follows is 100% my own opinion and not indicative at all of what Alex is planning), would be to set u... |

| You can level a lot of fair criticisms of Wordpress, but it's hard to argue with its track record as a blogging platform. Most of the criticism I've heard of Wordpress stem from people trying to use Wordpress as an end-all solution to every application. It isn't. But it's a really powerful blogging... |

| another thing nobody's tackled here is the general ethical side. Our autism is inextricably linked to our personalities. If you take away the autism, is it still the same person? Anyone whos ever loved or been a parent of an autistic person commonly says they would never want them changed because i... |

| Will there ever be a cure for Aspergers? No, and there never should be. If you think like that, you are just as bad as the "cures for everyone!" crew. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgrcotUpbww Nobody should be "forced" to be autistic, just as nobody should be "forced" to be NT. Ideally a cure shou... |

| My advice - forget the PHP entirely. Make a good HTML layout/mockup for the site and let someone else deal with integrating that with a forum engine. Actually, forum-to-blog integration is easy. I can do that myself, too. I'm talking about other, smaller stuff. See! Unlike what's-his-name said, I'm... |

| Why don't you quote some sources, I did quote a source if you don't like it then tough. FYI those so called neurodiversity groups are nothing more than bunch of autistic people who don't like autism being called a disorder. But real experts agree it is a disorder. Even the DSM V defines it as a dis... |

| Someone opened a can of buzzwords! Web 3.0? WordPress? SEO? The Trencher would be happy if the site had more than 10 items in the RSS feed! You're assuming the worst.
