wow..you bogged with your phone, made enough money from blogging with your phone to buy a laptop?

Yes. But of course, I was visiting cafes and even spending nights at the cafe whenever it's necessary for me to design the blog or do some adjustments I couldn't possible do via mobile phone.

During that time, there 'was' a browser known as 'BOLT Browser'. That browser allows you view web pages like you were actually using a computer.

Wow I'm encouraged. I can now even use my uc browser to view pages as desktop, and use school library systems in my school.

By the way u started with subdomain or you just bought a domain name when you started?

Me too. You don't have to do all the posting, people will do for you. But getting a forum of the ground is way harder than a blog.
Hi Pxjosh...
Starting your own forum is not as difficult as you might be thinking. Read on...
.
Pick An "Initial" Niche
.
When starting your own forum, you don't have to copy categories from popular forums like NairaLand or NBF. Why? You'll be cloning! Also, moderating all the forums will be hard!
.
Instead, try to build your forum by initially focusing on a specific niche such as Technology or Health or Education, etc. This way, you will be attracting only those who share your interests.
.
Generalize Your Domain Name
.
Another thing to consider is your domain name. For example, if you're going for a Technology niche, it may not sound cool to go for TechForum.Com. What if there is a need to add sections like Politics or Education? Do we say that Politics is now part of Technology? No!
.
Well, get me some water!

You can always start from somewhere...I use my samsung A5 to blog successfully even though I do have a laptop...Wordpress has an android app that makes it easier for you to upload posts or any other thing on your blog...The app also shows you every stat you need to know bout your blog....I've not really had to go back to my laptop because the app works extreme well for me....All am saying is you can always start somewhere...Cheers
yes. All my post on my blog, I am using my phone for dem. The sideline is that d design of my blog. I want to include some pages like; about me, contact, private policy and d rest. I doubt if I can run that with my phone.



This is where I am affected by lack of PC grin grin

Thank you very much.
You're welcome. Incase you're ready, I will recommend FluxBB. It is a light but powerful forum software. It has a handful of themes and modules to get you quickly started. You only need to do minor customizations.
.
If not for a project we are currently handling together with my wonderful colleagues, I would have volunteered to work with you. My advice to you would be "don't try to do it on your own"! Form a team!
.
Goodluck...

In 2011, I started with a subdomain under blogger.com. Sometime in September that same year, I switched to a custom domain.

I think on the keyboard, letters "V" and "B" are quite close. So he possibly meant "Blogging".

wow. FluxBB? And I've already started working with SMF (though not for what I really have in mind, am using it as a 'simulation', prior to starting the forum I have in mind properly). I've not done much with SMF though, just the installation.

Based on what I have in mind, I need a framework like that of Nairaland (but not necessarily a copy) - something that is flexible, light-weight and can be easily navigated.

So you'd advice I port over to fluxBB rather than SMF?
