Have you thought about just using Wordpress? You can be the admin and then make a contributor account for your daughter to write random things but not have the power to publish them or change up any of the settings/design.

A local store offered to print the designs in full color on high quality cotton shirts at an exceptionally low price. We contacted many providers to try and find the lowest possible price and we were fortunate enough to gain their support.

Once we addressed the initial concerns, people were much more willing to donate to us and we raised around $1500 in the first three weeks. After that, it was just a matter of packaging and shipping out the t-shirts.

There actually is a way to redirect requests on GitHub Pages. It's a bit hacky, but if you want to stick with GitHub's hosting, it might be worth doing. You can manually create a new page "index.html" in the corresponding subdirectory for y

In that case, how would you go about negotiating the purchase of a domain -- in other words, how do you not show interest to keep the domain owner from raising the price? I'm not the OP, but am just curious what a better method would be.

This is a very good point. Forrst's community is geared towards other entrepreneurs and hackers, so the fact that Kyle was his own best user actually helped perpetuate the site's growth, while this wouldn't have worked as well with other le

This is more of a combination of the two, which I feel is most certainly the best pathway to success. People tend to give too little credit to luck (especially if they've worked hard as well), but here's the way I see it: you can have a lot

We only have 12 students. I'd estimate that of those 12, about 6 do well in the course. Of the remaining 6, only 1 or 2 are actually struggling with the course. My school is a small (~130 per grade), but renowned international school in Sha
