I feel like I am going nowhere with this software. Tommorrow will be a month, and I have gotten nowhere with my project. In 2006 I hand coded a php application (procedural) for a social poetry site and recently have been trying to use Jomsocial to upgrade it for almost a month. In building it, it's like starring into the abyss, spending money on plugins that I don't even know will work together or what type of user experience it will have. Theres too many options, and it seems highly unlikely that it will be uniform when the plugins are mashed together.
It seems simple, get a social software, integrate user categorized user blogs for the poems, and allow them to converse. Unless you think you can help me accomplish this before my return period is up, then I guess I am returning this software.
I think you can use JomSocial to build your site without any problem. My suggestion is to use our forums and community to talk with our programmers and other advanced customers about this. Our team will be more than happy to assist you with this.
