I’ve been hard at work developing new features on http://www.hmag.com, but in the mean time, I’m getting ready to launch a brand new BuddyPress driven website http://www.hobokenmommies.com – a website catered to moms in Hoboken, NJ.

Unlike hMAG, HobokenMommies features a simpler interface, multiple skins with various color options for each mom to choose and save as her preffered look and feel, and well over 20 different types of custom post types and taxonomies all intergraded with BuddyPress.

I’ll update this post once we launch.

Oh this site is just beautiful!

Would you be kind enough to share some information about what kind of hosting (virtual private server vs shared hosting) this site is running on?

Many thanks!

Thanks everyone!
Shared hosting would not be able to support the site. The site is using one of Media Temple VPS packages for hosting. In a few months, I’ll most likely move the site to its own dedicated server, just like hMAG just to be safe.

Looks very nice. How have you managed to make some parts (like event details) members only?

Thank you for answering my question re: hosting plan required for the site. Are there guidelines I can consider when deciding how much space on a VPS I should consider? I’d really appreciate your thoughts on this.

Simon, very well done! Question about the map on the Locations page… Is that a plugin? If so, which one? Thanks.

Hello,
The location feature is not a plugin, its rather hard-coded. Unfortunately, I’m no longer a partner with the company and my work has been taken over by another development company the owner has hired. I am biting my tongue and refraining from saying anything negative.

If we open HobokenMommies .com now :
“The page isn’t redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.”

unfortunately, I’m not longer part of this project. The developers who are now managing this website are incompetent.
