» P_Al - What about Personal Pages?

I would like to know how you feel about having your own page on the cancer site. You may be a cancer patient, cancer survivor, relative or friend of someone with cancer now or in the past. Your page would be a discussion thread for you to develop you own story. Whether you want to chronicle your own experience or that of another, give advice or reach out to others with a similar problem, this could be an ideal forum for you.

What do you think? Share your thoughts, concerns and interests.

In response to What about Personal Pages? posted by P_Al:

Personal pages sound like such a big commitment, though. And what would I put on there that I haven't already said in previous discussions? Plus, I'm concerned because the way I am, I'd be really disappointed if I don't get a good response. I already get disappointed if I post something and ten minutes later there's no reply. So, I don't know if I could handle my own page.

Plus I'm still kind of curious about how a personal page would differ from the regular discussion pages.

A personal page would be for your own entries on whatever you wish to share. Any contributions must be based on your content/issue. This would not be an open discussion like the regular discussions. For example a cancer patient may use this as a sort of online diary. Or someone may wish to share their knowledge on a particular subject. It will be more structured and specific. The schedule is totally up to that person, so is the content (within the general rules of the site).

This will not be for everyone. It's an idea that I am throwing out for whoever feels that this is for them. Thanks for the feedback and honesty.

I will be posting more information on this next week on my homepage (blog) as well as in the discussions i.e guidelines for these pages. Have a read and let me know what you think.
