Over that span of time, I have dealt with various webmasters and programmers. We made some progress, and at times I was very happy with the results.

But in the end, the basic vision of the site never came to past and I was left with a site that wasn’t quite up to par. Close, but not close enough.

So this time, while I am working with a new programmer, I have been quietly acquiring a new set of skills; designing and building my own networking site. Giving a new meaning to the words Start up, DIY and saving money. It wasn’t easy, but it seems the more I tinker the easier it gets. So while I am still waiting to launch GiGHiVE (Which is very soon) I am personally designing some of it main sections along with my editor; which includes our new blog The Buzz.

So stayed tuned for the official launch of the network.
