Hello and welcome to The Community Admin Show - the latest podcast from The Podcast Network.

The Community Admin Show is the show for online community owners and administrators. It’s released once every two weeks and features discussions on the management and cultivation of internet communities.

My name is Patrick O’Keefe and I am your host. I have been professionally developing websites since 1998. I founded and own the iFroggy Network, an internet network featuring content, community and e-commerce sites. It receives more than 2 million pageviews a month. As part of managing my network, I also manage 7 communities, including SportsForums.net, KarateForums.com, the phpBBHacks.com Support Forums, PhotoshopForums.com, DeveloperCube, CommunityAdmins.com and the DrGregHouse.com Forums. All told, my communities total more than 600,000 posts, 80,000 threads and 30,000 registered users.

I have been managing internet communities for nearly 5 years. I have directly managed and been responsible for the success of some very active communities, including phpBBHacks.com and KarateForums.com. If it happens on an internet community, chances are that I’ve experienced it and dealt with it.

Through this podcast, I hope to share my experiences and to share the real life, in use tactics and solutions that I use on my communities on a daily basis. Each show will also feature an interview, often times with a successful community administrator. This will allow us to learn from the way that they manage their community. I also hope for listener questions to become a big part of the show. If you have a question or if you’d like some advice, please write me at patrick@ifroggy.com and I will read your e-mail on the show (and answer you before it comes out so you don’t have to wait!). Please include your name, location and website (if you’d like me to mention it).

The first show will be released in a few days. If you are interested in subscribing to this podcast, you can do so by clicking one of the buttons under the Subscribe section in the upper portion of the menu to the right.

If you have any questions about the show, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for reading.
