Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Not for me, but for a business I contract with for my snowplowing.
I talked to the owner today, and said I'd really like him to get a web page up just for announcements. The main reason would be to announce if/when they are going to plow for a specific event. When we get a light snow, I'm never sure if they are going to plow or not, since it's on the 'edge' of meeting their minimum. And if they aren't, I might want to shovel so it doesn't turn to ice later or get packed down.
Sounds like he is not a technical guy, and I had suggested that Facebook should be easy, but it looks like they don't allow for a total blocking of comments, so that could be a maintenance issue. And since he does everything by snail-mail, at this point he'd have to send out something in the next mailing to let people be aware of it, but I could at least post to "NextDoor" site to get the word out to those people.
I looked at Google business pages, that might fit? Any other ideas?
I see that Google has "blogspot", that looks easy, I set up a test account, and you can disable comments (only admin and named editors allowed), but it still shows "comment", but then stops you if you aren't on the list.
Here's my test page to test the concept, very easy to set up and post:

Anything better out there?
