We experimented with this for gonzo.com and there are more benefits to it than you realize. I was looking at using it as a pseudo CMS.

If it was going to work I knew you or someone on this board had already done it.

I have no doubt it would work. I just got a better offer hahaa.

However. Since the experiment went so well its interesting you mention it as its part of something Ive been building for the past few weeks.

I hope I am not one of the guys that doesn't get it, but why have the blog visible to paid members only?

Why not have it viewable to the public?

If you're doing the work of creating this vehicle to promote sponsor sites, wouldn't you want the largest audience possible?

I understand that someone that has already bought a membership is a higher qualified prospect than someone that hasn't, but there is no additional cost for making the blog public.

Why wouldn't you do that?

I cant speak for Greg but Im actually talking about 2 installs of Word Press. One for a tour and one that actually uses it and plugins as a cheap yet effective CMS.
