Mar 21, 2007 : Freewebs Adds Widgetized Forums

📅 March 21, 2007 -  Budget hosting provider Freewebs (freewebs.com) announced on Wednesday it has added "widgetized" Freewebs Forums to its catalog of Web site building tools. Now, any site administrator can create and manage customized forums on a full range of topics, including politics, music, sports, stock quotes, parenting, fashion and books.


Freewebs Forums can run simultaneously in multiple places throughout the Web, displaying the same content regardless of where the forum resides. And unlike other forum software, Freewebs Forums' unique login and registration process keeps visitors on member sites rather then sending them to another host site.

The new forum works using simple point-and-click, drag-and-drop commands, and do not require any prior HTML knowledge. Freewebs Forums administrators can select from varying colors to coordinate and compliment their site's design, can position certain topics at the top of other discussions and enable stats to show how many posts, replies and topic views the forum has received.

"Someday everyone in the world will have a Web site, thanks to Freewebs, and the 17 million people and counting who have already built Web sites on Freewebs have come to expect unprecedented ease-of-use in creating multimedia sites and blogs," says Shervin Pishevar, Freewebs president. "The ease of adding Freewebs Forums to any site will unleash millions of conversations. Having this ability is just one more attribute that helps Freewebs users increase their visibility while adding value to their own regular user's experience."
