Back up n running

Well, we're back online again. The Hosts have finally re-activated my CGI Scripting abilities after they shut it down due to my ostomy message board allegedly over-using resources. Anyways Ive moved the board to a new host and it can be found now at www.ostomyland.com. This journal shall remain in the same place, and so too shall the chat room gallery. Thats the only PHP and CGI powered items left on the whole site and with time I'll probably move them over too.

Anyways, thanks to everyone for their patience during this time. Its probably just as well this journal was unavailable during this time as chances are I'd have been swearing my ass off and making liablous statements against my previous web-hosts. :D Heh.

Right, well... I'll make a proper whinging post like always later on when Im feeling a bit less tired, less stressed, and more comfy.

Bye for now folks.

Pain: 5/10
Depression: 5/10 (Peaked at 9 while board was down and I was gettin daily mails demanding its reinstating).

My new site finally goes Live

Que the Fanfare peeeeerrrrrlease! Do-do-dooo-do-do-do-doooooo

It is with much a do about nothing that I can officially announce that the new website Ive been working on the for the last month or so has finally gone live.

Called "living with Chronic Pain" it is an interactive patient support site very similar to the ostomy site but obviously revolving around Chronic pain.

The URL of the site is: http://www.chronicpainsupport.info/ and is fully PHP Powered - meaning users can add content to the site using WYSIWYG editors (mini Word Processor text boxes) as well as having user accounts and more.

Features of Chronicpainsupport.info include:

• Detailed information on major pain-related conditions such as Neuropathic pain, Neuralgia, Fibromyalgia and more!
• Fully categorised Message Board
• 24/7 Chat Room with Weekly Meeting
• FREE User Journals – use it to monitor your pain score, or to just keep track of the things you’ve done today!
• User reviews – Post your review on anything pain related. Be it a TV program, a book or a website etc.
• Live Pain News Feeds – all the latest news direct from the major pain organisations
• User Surveys/Polls – have your vote on the important pain issues of the day!
• Comprehensive Pain-related bookstore in association with Amazon.co.uk and .com

The site is 100% free, however to be able to access all of the website and to be able to post on the message board a FREE username account is required, but it’s a dead simple process to sign up.

You are the first people that I’ve announced the site with as I wanted you all to be the first to know about it. Without all your support here this site would never have grown to the size it has, and therefore there would’ve been no reason for to think about creating a site for one of the other main “taboo” or rather “swept under the mat” health issues today that isn’t as fully supported on the net as it should be, Chronic Pain.

Everyone here is welcome to have a look at the site, register and have a play, use the journals, read the news, post your own pain news, visit the boards, and of course visit the chat room once it goes live next month!

I hope you all enjoy this latest addition to the ostomysupport.info family. I guess that this new site makes us a “network” now.
