You Fred fans, it's cheap and easy to purchase a short snappy domain name and point it to a free blog. Costs about $9. And it's fun! A great way to support your candidate of choice, establish a forum, and meet other like-minded people.
I love looking up phrases and seeing them up to see if the domain is available.
Join the fun! Go to a domain registrar, like GoDaddy.com or 1and1.com, and try some ideas. The shorter and snappier they are, the better. Try to avoid hyphens.
I did some advance homework for you:
STILL AVAILABLE (at $8.95/year) HurryFred.com HeadToFred.com FredZit.com BetterFredThanDeaad Fred08.com WeLuvFred.com NowFred.com
ALREADY TAKEN
Fredtastic.com MightyFred.com OhFred.com BigFred.com PresidentFred.com RunFredRun.com

Have at it. First Freeper to register gets some free graphic/logo artwork of your domain name, to post on your site.
An example: I own http://www.plasticpie.com, and have it pointed to http://plasticpie.blogspot.com.
By the way, I think the .us domain is quite appropriate for political sites. Looks nice in red, white and blue, as you can see above.
Pass along!
If ya’ll do this, don’t forget to join the Fredstate crew over at http://draftfredthompson.com/index.php/board,109.0.html !
If you’re interested in seeing the latest articles about Fred Thompson and don’t want to be pinged for each one, just click on his name in the top right list of “popular keywords” on the Forum page. Please FRmail jellybean, if you want on/off this list. WARNING:This ping list can often be extremely active.
Even if you cannot write a lot of columns and provide a lot of content on your site, one very good use of your site is to link to all the really great ones for your candidate.
Once you get spidered (which happens quickly now), you will help many people find the other great sites.
I'm happy to help anyone get a site going. Here is a site I built for $9:
www.pkea.us (my career website)
Nice graphic.
I knew you could do it!
Thanks. I am going to fiddle with your other two graphics tomorrow. Just ping me if you make any more that you would like me to use. These are great.
the thompson pings/graphics are so great. fun to see the varying ones each day. good work!
I’ve registered two domains at GoDaddy:
http://independents4fredthompson.com
and
http://thehuntforfredoctober.com
they both redirect to
http://draftfredthompson.com/index.php
also
redirects to
http://draftfredthompson.com/index.php/topic,3739.0.html
Not much good to get all those fred sites unless you are going to figure out a way to link them is there?
I’ve figured that out.
Thanks, but I didn't make that graphic. Wouldn't know where to begin :)
The HTML code I sent you "borrowed" it from who ever it belongs to.
Since I’ve posted this last night, someone already bought Fred08.com.
Thought of buying it myself. Should have.
The video is superb.
My Fred domain is minnesotansforthompson.blogspot.com;
a/k/a Minnesotans for Fred!!
Fred08.com has been around for several weeks. It’s a good source of info for Fred links, interviews, and audio.
Check it out, if you haven’t already.
Not to be a stickler, but no, it was registered for the first time on 27 Feb. 2007.
Record expires on 27-Feb-2009.
Record created on 27-Feb-2007.
Database last updated on 28-Apr-2007 03:32:10 EDT.
It was then pointed (redirected) to an existing site that has been around — the site you’re referring to.
Cool stuff, the Internet, what?

I like it!
