"I'm more of a frequent visitor to ABW/WMW but I figured I might start hanging out here too"
We sure would like to have you hang out with us when you get a chance.
If you dig through some of the threads in general and the niche forum
I think you'll find lots of good info and some discussions you may want to get involved in.
I have a few domains that are on my to-do list to build out sites for.
They've been on my to-do list for 2 years and not sure when I will ever get the time.
But I think for those I may go with Pair shared hosting since they will be small sites.
